Lyrics
Faded and worn at the seams
A psychotropic wanderlust, sick and laughing
Their words bare their teeth into the wall
I promised I would rid the world of feral animals
I see you smiling with your feet up like your heroes
You'd off yourself to save your reputation
Strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes
Are you sharpening your sword, well you'll fade out anyway
Why'd you say? Why'd you say?
That you'd come right back
For my love, for my faith
All the promises you made never realized
Why'd you say? Why'd you say?
That you'd come right back
For my love, for my strength
All the promises you made never realized
Fill the air with what you like
Another weekend massacre of opinion
Don't be afraid of the knife
Sometimes you have to cut the limb to survive
I see you smiling with your feet up like your heroes
You'd off yourself to save your reputation
Strong and fearless and deprived just like your heroes
Are you sharpening your sword, well you'll bleed out anyway
Why'd you say? Why'd you say?
That you'd come right back
For my love, for my faith
All the promises you made never realized
Why'd you say? Why'd you say?
That you'd come right back
For my love, for my strength
All the promises you made never realized
You got to love the madness of the feeling
Don't have to rush the freshness of beginning
You got to get back up and face your demons
Don't ever be afraid of starting over
