Rich in Bootstraps

Affliction wears her warmest smiles
Contrast to her black attire
This is a black tie affair, baby
And the best "dressed-award" goes to...
Oh, who really gives a fuck anyway
Passing glances and sidestepped hallway dances
The siren has devoured the hopeless romantic

This display of affection keeps him close
Lavender letters that you wrote
When you were more decisive wilt away
November never felt the same

The way these things have been designed
It's just not right to hide behind
A veil that is torn and frayed
And every desperate delay adds more tension to the bind
Knowing you are just like me makes it easier to find

Some relief from the ghosts that I see
Like the ones that haunt your family tree
Reminiscing on the remnants of a shattered life
Yeah, you're just like me

The hole that I thought you could fill
You're only digging deeper
You're only digging deeper
Like you're digging a grave
Deeper
Like you're digging a grave

The heart is ripped out from this home
All of the doors have been shut
Out of his chest
All but the coffin are locked
All but the coffin are locked
