Drinking Smiles Lyrics

Start to look up at the sky

See pyres drowned in shit

Cards will fold if you keep them

Much like people did

Unscripted transitions

Cauterization of life as it frays

I learned to love while you took that shit

Away

I journey to a new world

Watch the sirens sing to me

Rip out my throat

Show me as I am

No one can hurt me like I can

Look inside the minds of you and I

Release, and rely, and reflect

On what left us to die

Not a product of purpose

Nor a bringer of evil

Weald a pen and a sword

And see which one that you let bleed through

Is it all in my head?

Said that one day I'll know peace

But that'll be when I'm dead

Count the seeds, drop to my knees

Bear the weight on your sleeve

I'm sorry for thinking that I could be

More than what you need

Now we're born to break

And bred with denial

Tried to hold the heart

Tried to drink your smile

Now here I stand over my father's grave

With an open heart, and a slow decay

Is this where I stand? Is this how I lose?

The only difference is I never got to choose

If blood is thicker than water

Then why'd the blood turn to rust?

Lover take my hand and liquidate this lust
