Lyrics
all this comfort around
easily collapse
under this bullshit island
your eyes lie
worse than your words say
something long enough
you tend to believe it
give me gold
give me lead
poison my water
with you head
give me fate
make it hate
the workers won't learn from their mistakes
and the thought did it cross
your mind before you broke me
i see all around the words i need
can't be found
choose my death
and i may go
they say never burn
your bridges down
comes full circle round round round
never write upon
never call upon me
trash your own heart
give me gold
give me lead
poison my water
with you head
give me fate
make it hate
the workers won't learn from their mistakes
and the thought did it cross
your mind before you broke me
i see all around the words i need
can't be found
choose my death
and i may go but not alone
