Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seven sins of wantonness and everything that's good is gone
Set it all for glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins
I'm the enemy in the enemies now
[Verse 2]
Swallowed the pill
Drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
[Verse 3]
Try to hold the world they're sinking
Swimming in a paper cup
Try to own the one beneath the skin
Held up to the flame till singeing skin begins to draw and tuck
Never told there's a chance to win
What couldn't be, wouldn't be now
[Verse 4]
Swallowed the pill
Drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
[Verse 5]
Bittersweet, oh, this bittersweet now
[Verse 6]
Hold your hands up to the sky and try so hard to rise above
Everything is beaten down
[Verse 7]
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
[Verse 8]
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
