Sgt. Horror Lyrics

Honesty won't inoculate you from lies

And watering stumps, prayin' something will grow, but you know that it won't

And you, callin' on angels, and you workin' all the angles

But ain't you heard, they don't help out ungratefuls

They know the deal

How many smiles do you count we have left to wear

How many ways did they swear it be alright

How many eyes do we have left to deceive

I rather bleed myself out than let them

Burn me up up

Up up

Up up

Burn me up up

Up up

Up up

Repeat it to yourself enough times til' it's true

If no one knows, then who knows, it might really be the case

You love to linger on your reveries til' the chemicals kick in

And then you freak out when you can't come back down

Once more is never the last one, nothing is enough

You took all the amusement and cooked your smile

The details lost their devils, but the irony took them in

And don't you dare let them spin your head off

You never live it down

How many smiles do you count we have left to wear

How many ways did they swear it be alright

How many eyes do we have left to deceive

I rather bleed myself out than let them

Burn me up

Up up

Up up

Burn me up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

Up up

How many smiles do you count we have left to wear

How many ways did they swear it be alright

How many eyes do we have left to deceive

I rather bleed myself out than

And when the wings fell, you had to make the way by foot

Under a bad sign, it was a bad sign

When the night falls, you bend and fold

Until morning calls you, pray it'll show you the way home

When the wings fell, you had to make the way by foot

Under a bad sign, it was a bad sign

When the night falls, you bend and fold

Until morning calls you, pray it'll show you the way home
