The Fall Of Rome Lyrics

'Cause I wash all the dishes

Then I spit right in their faces

Put 'em right back where I found 'em

Never fill the empty spaces, just repeat

There’s a shark behind my teeth

And I saved you a front row seat

With a volcano underneath

I’ve no master made of meat

Pull the plug, cut the lights

Piecemeal, how I spend my nights

Got a mountain in my sights

I’ll eat it all in tiny bites

It’s plain to see my fancy flights

Pluck my feathers, plant a knife

I plant my feet, I’m growing ice

And growing tired of my life

My work means nothing if I’m right

I don’t play dead, I don’t play nice

Piss my pants and bite my tongue

Ain’t seen my face since I was young

Ain’t heard my name since I was young

I don’t grow old, I’ve never sung

Those threaded words from which I hung

That static charge, the fabric clung

All those nice little touches stung

A single fiber in my lung

I’ve lost my grip on every rung

There are no others I’m among

Hold your breath, shut the door

I’ve watched this play out, it’s a bore

I’ve seen the scenes, I’m who it’s for

I got some malware from the tor

I’ve watched that little goddamn

Logo bounce forever back and forth

And I’m still waiting for that corner

Shot to hit and end this war

I know the lines, I’ve heard the score

I stole it from a vinyl store

Just scrubbing through it is a chore

I’ve done so many times before

But I still let it spin once more

But I still let it spin once more

But I still let it get much worse

Until it’s too big to ignore

Add one more chapter to my lore

My sense of self is through the floor

Right through the mantle to the core

Straight out the other side I pour

That same volcano where you sat

Is how I get my balance back

I’ll build a tower made of ash

Just for somewhere to hang my hat

I’ll fill a bag up with my bones

Use them instead of casting stones

Just so that every one I throw

Is that much closer to my ghost

I’ve spiraled hard, I’ve taken notes

I put the things I know in quotes

I hold the sticks up to my spokes

Since I found out the brakes were broke

There’s nobody on their way to save you

You’re all alone

Wish I could say that I was sorry for it

Tell me what you say to who you pray to

I wanna know

So I can spell it out while you ignore it

Is it please or is it thank you?

Are you home?

There’s no escape

We’ll burn it down and watch it grow

Only way is if I make you

The fall of Rome

Is just another day

For those who want it most
