Throwing Coal

Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
At the expense of the bodies you sentenced to die

When he's not drowning away his sorrow
Just giving the devil his due a la carte
She served up that voodoo with a breath of fresh air
And a dark fire in those eyes you know the ones
That keep you up at night and asleep well into tomorrow

Well my heart swelled and I lost my footing when I
Fell in love between her cries
And the mutual respect is so one sided
It might be out of focus but i can still make out the images that woke us
This is my ego, this is my empathy
Apart from me, nevertheless, a part of me

Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
Always in fear when conviction becomes your pride
Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
It's so much easier believing in all of the lies
Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
In privileged conviction with your slogans complicit
At the expense of the bodies that you sentenced to die

Always the hero of someone else's epic killing it to kill it
Rotten roots have grown so deep your color's starting to show
Like your girl's favorite boyfriend
Your toys are growing so old

Your bank accounts overflowing with policy all gummed up with liquidity
While the haves getting handouts and the have-nots have not bailouts
I can't wait for the haves having to want
While the rest take what they need and inherit your worth
The buck has stopped the luck's run out
And this table's gone cold
On your feedback loop of ego
From kissing Hitler to throwing coal

Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
Always in fear when conviction becomes your pride
Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
It's so much easier believing in all of the lies
Always lie loudly and walk back quietly
In privileged conviction with your slogans complicit
At the expense of the bodies that you sentenced to die
