Lyrics

We're picking up all that we can take
We're carving out all that we can scrape
And if you see me coming, baby, better turn your back
I'm the meanest pest in this race of rats
Every day we rise
It's a cold life to a warm grave
Every day we rise
Cold life
The flowers of our love have wilted, died
Our promises have melted into lies
Time's tracing circles, I can see them in your face
The sky will shatter with a single scrape
Every day we rise
It's a cold life to a warm grave
Every day we rise
Cold life
Now we're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
Take zero from zero and split the rest
A heart for a hole, a hole for a head
Traded our future for the present tense
Burned out our eyes just to catch a glimpse
Cold life
Warm grave
Cold life
Warm grave
Cold life
Cold life
Now we're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside out
We're scraping from the inside
