lyrics

The Reprieve

Feed your hunger
Eat your tears
Drink your heart, drink your heart, drink your heart
Fall down laughing
Drunk with rage
You're just like me, just like me, you're just like me

All my life I've been running in a circle looking for the exit sign
I throw the knife then see if I can think of any kind of reason why

Pretty, simple, useless
I see us
Stupid and abusive
We're make believe
These roads to freedom send us
On our way to nowhere
Just when we thought we started to care
Its all make believe
Don't hold your breath for the reprieve

Taste of wonder
Thick like blood
You waste your heart, waste your heart, waste your heart
Stream of conscious
Drowning me
And its just like you, just like you cause you're just like me

All your life you've been trying to find a way to look yourself in the eyes
Fight or flight
You stand up for a joke but you'd die before you compromise

Pretty simple useless
I see us
Bitter and abusive
We're make believe
These roads to freedom send us
On our way to nowhere
As if we could have gotten somewhere
Its all make believe

Make believe in you and me
