lyrics

you beat it, you starve it but it doesn't die
black heart pumping out the death drive
could it be this is how it unfolds, how the story's told?
you just missed, you expected a twist but it took a turn
chalk it up to a hard lesson learned
maybe things would be different if you told better lies
sad truth looks back with its wet, red eyes
times changed and you can't understand what you've become
divine right in the kingdom of the dumb

it speaks, its word is law
it's conjuring failure from victory's jaws
from ash, from dirt, it rises anew
two part harmony with the hurt within you
its beauty seduces the blind
every time

this time I'll kill it dead screw it's all tall talk sit sit and never do it
no you won't you know you've got no follow through it
played like a nice guitar beat like a drum
da coda al capo and done done it won
still one yarn left unspun

you douse it, you light it but it doesn't burn
lesson learned
