lyrics

Title: “Don’t Let The Bastards Run Your Life.” (Plagues)

(of The Lot)
Can’t form words
With my jaw always dropped
Sometimes it’s broken,
Sometimes it’s in awe
Sometimes it’s cracked
And you can see the light
But not enough to give me any
peace of mind

Can’t stay afloat
With this ship full of holes
Sometimes we live
Sometimes we die
Sometimes we swim
And we make our escape
But we don’t stand a chance
against this fucking lake

Wipe off your feet
We’re going inside

Bring em to the throne room
Make him fucking speak
Unhinge the jaw
I want to collect the precious teeth

Cash in hand
Rumored Devine light

Nothing ever changes like
They said it would
You been talking about leaving
And I think you should

Gossip stones
Tender moans
Left untold
I just can’t wait

Aging groans
Same old tropes
Hands gone cold
I just can’t wait

Cut him loose again

Nothing ever changes like
They all said it would
You’ve been talking about leaving
I think you should

Let me hang my head
Inside this ecstasy
In that violence,
I am overwhelmed
