lyrics

Throw a suit on,
Waking in the ice,
to waste my breath for bread.
Imma trim the fat
And cut you off
Watch your soul weep and starve.

Tongues that whip like vipers
Poison veiled in lines and lines
Your mind's all cracked and dried (cracked and dried)
False prophets, you're a waking cadaver
Just lying and basking in shades
Basking in shades.

Just colour me a fool, just colour.
(I'm not you)
Just colour me, colour me a fool.

Let the wives weep at the father who suffers.
On silver and copper (silver and copper)
Addiction and lovers he'll loathe them.

Just fucking starve
A home built on crumbs.
Just kicked to the ground.

Using stained paper as a gauge.
We're all kicked to the ground from the days we burn.

If it were, if it were the only way to keep warm (to keep warm)
I would stay here forever
So rest, rest on the ashes
The past won't give you anything

The past won't give...
