Little Death
Self-will, hellbent
We are selfish
Where does this have us going?
Wish I could see this moment
Necktie or noose?
Who pays these dues?
Where there's smoke, there's fire
Black clouds of desire
Rip, run, let go
Lose all your hope
Why do I act the way I
Always do when I try?
Fight or flight and
No use hiding
This whole thing's a shit show
Why can't I just let go?
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
False teeth, fake smile
They last a while
These things fade in time
Will I give up mine?
All this old dust
No shine, just rust
All these thoughts I'm thinking
Pull me down, we're sinking
Fading beauty
Takes all you see
All I have forsaken
Oh, my heart it's vacant
Diamonds, they crack
Light dims to black
All this fades from gold
All that's young gets old
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
We are selfish
Where does this have us going?
Wish I could see this moment
Necktie or noose?
Who pays these dues?
Where there's smoke, there's fire
Black clouds of desire
Rip, run, let go
Lose all your hope
Why do I act the way I
Always do when I try?
Fight or flight and
No use hiding
This whole thing's a shit show
Why can't I just let go?
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
False teeth, fake smile
They last a while
These things fade in time
Will I give up mine?
All this old dust
No shine, just rust
All these thoughts I'm thinking
Pull me down, we're sinking
Fading beauty
Takes all you see
All I have forsaken
Oh, my heart it's vacant
Diamonds, they crack
Light dims to black
All this fades from gold
All that's young gets old
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
I'm black tar on a skeleton
A nightmare in a friendly skin
Empty hands after all the chase, oh
Little death in a warm embrace, oh
