One is for envy and one just for spite,
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes.
Don't make it better.
Twisting knife turns all by itself
Onto someone else.
Your self-liberation we'll leave this behind,
Beyond slings and arrows
That rain on our mind.
To make it better, shake it off!
It never mattered anyway.
If we don't make it alive -
It's a hell of a good day to die.
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again,
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
The banner you're waving is burning in red.
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead.
You against the world, diamonds and pearls,
Voices inside you churn.
Watch the city burn.
Your own liberation will leave them behind,
All the slings and arrows
That rain on your mind.
Don't make it better, break it 'cause
It never mattered anyway.
If we don't make it alive -
It's a hell of a good day to die.
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again,
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
I won't calm down!
The banner you're waving is burning in red
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway.
If we don't make it alive -
It's a hell of a good day to die.
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
And it's ashes to ashes again,
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long.
