Blood and Bread
Your mouth keeps moving
With nothing really to say
You're running out of time
It's too late to start to pray
Your eyes keep blinking
But still you don't see
I don't need another savior
You're nothing new to me
Another fallen angel, another hero taken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe with hate
There's dust and blood on the floor
Keep digging in your fingernails
Scratch and claw at my soul
Another one to kill, another one to fail
Memories shattered by reality
Screaming through the empty hallways
Congested consciousness lies to the heart
Who says they love you anyways?
Another fallen angel, another hero taken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe with hate
Wisdom beyond years plays on naivete
I trusted you, you lied to me
No words exchanged
Just severed honesty
Lamb to the slaughter
I've bleed out into your cup
Drink me dry and feed me promises
Give me enough strength to give up
Another fallen angel, another hero taken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe with hate
How I wish I could
Oh, how I wish I could
Hang you with your halo
Now I know I'm
Oh, I know I'm not your kind
The jagged pill you can't swallow
It rains on both you and I
How the hell are you dry?!
It's time I finally say
It's time you finally go away!!
I'm not your kind!
I'm not your son!
I'm not yours at all!
I'm not your savior!
I'm not the hand to reach for!
When you finally fall!
Another fallen angel, another hero forsaken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe with hate
With nothing really to say
You're running out of time
It's too late to start to pray
Your eyes keep blinking
But still you don't see
I don't need another savior
You're nothing new to me
Another fallen angel, another hero taken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe with hate
There's dust and blood on the floor
Keep digging in your fingernails
Scratch and claw at my soul
Another one to kill, another one to fail
Memories shattered by reality
Screaming through the empty hallways
Congested consciousness lies to the heart
Who says they love you anyways?
Another fallen angel, another hero taken
