lyrics

you chewed them alive
to spit out a lie
find a disguise
turn counterclockwise
well I’m much obliged
with such compromise
but it’s hard not to tie
a noose with those eyes
but you looked me in the eye
and still told the lie
you gave it a life by refusing to die
just tell it, tell it
“I know you’ll survive.”
Tell it, tell it
“this isn’t goodbye.”
You chewed up the lives of those that survived
Under the guise of a compromise
You sucked them in, turned them out
Made them squeal and give a shout
You left me with a skeleton, left me with a skeleton
How can this be happening
How come no one’s helping him?

I don’t know why I bother
When you’re always right
I don’t know why I bother
When you’re out to kill
A baby can cry, a yuppie can strive
But a spit of saliva will measure the size
Look at the sunrise, it’s melting my eyes
Running down cheeks like a good cry
We’re dropping like flies
We’re dropping like flies
We’re dropping like flies
We’re dropping like flies
It will not stop until you learn to try
Still dropping like flies but I realize
We’re just waiting to die
Just like every small fry
Goodbye everyone, I swear that I tried
Goodbye everyone, I swear that I tried
But it’s hard to survive when you’re born to die

I don’t know why I bother
When you’re always right
I don’t know why I bother
When you’re out to kill


why won’t you die?


I don’t know why I bother
When you’re always right
I don’t know why I bother
When you’re out to kill
