There's silence at the cathode club as it dissolves to smoke Black eyes watch our attempts to puncture the spectre Clouds gather, a filthy scene What is a man without ego? He is an image of an empty husk You're in, you're here Come join the troops
These are the trenches we built ourselves These are the soldiers you'll sacrifice These are the days of our fucking lives
Shrapnel aching at my shouldblade
All roads need roads to carry on their name All teens need dreams to forget their shame
We hang the skulls from the structures we built from the shells Tributes and seizures set sail on an ocean of sin Swear to the sun that you never intended to win Forfeit the battle for reasons best left in the dirt
Shrapnel aching my shoulder blade We hang the skulls from the structures we built from the shells
