The first step you take
Leaves your eyes full of sand
You’re cursing before
The first chance to retire
And pushing you know
There’s no shame in the dust
Cos if no one insists
Better dead than just stuck
Isn’t the promise of much better days
Now as dead and as gone as the gods that we praised?
The surgical steel penetrates through my bones
Leaving hormones and serpents devouring my soul
Somewhere in my skin I hide it all
Tattooed all in black and ethanol
We are partners in crime, my soul and me we run
And even running forward I know there’s no room for fun
Cos it’s the price we know we pay for being young and made of stone
Don’t wanna run anymore!
Oh, sun, give me strength to accept that your grace
Your forgiveness, your love and your light they’re all dead
Forget all my sins and dissolve them at once
In the dark sweet temptation I find in this glass
And I think, and I wonder if there is an answer
For all of the questions I face being alive
When it’s true that I know from the depths of my heart
That with death comes the end and fuck all that’s behind
Somewhere in my skin I hide it all
Tattooed all in black and ethanol
We are partners in crime, my soul and me we run
And even running forward I know there’s no room for fun
Cos it’s the price we know we pay for being young and made of stone
Don’t wanna run anymore!
Cold runs the liquid state
Flooding the desert
Puke all your verbs and nuns
Purge the unpleasant
Somewhere in my skin I hide it all
Tattooed all in black and ethanol
We are partners in crime, my soul and me we run
And even running forward I know there’s no room for fun
Cos it’s the price we know we pay for being young and made of stone
