The book's not shut Was it open to start with The spine's split The pages are all torn Held together by the sweat and the spit Of every one of us You've got nothing at all There's nothing to lose When you've lost it all There's nothing to lose When you've lost everything You can wait for your curtain call There'll be a show for you tonight But there'll be no encore What's the point in fucking fighting the times When all you really need to do is fucking sever the ties There's nothing to lose When you've lost it all There's nothing to lose When you've lost everything The book's not shut Was it open to start with The spine's split The pages are all torn Held together by the sweat and the spit Of every one of us You've got nothing at all You can wait for your curtain call There'll be a show for you tonight But there'll be no encore What's the point in fucking fighting the times When all you really need to do is sever the ties There's nothing to lose There's nothing to lose There's nothing to lose When you've lost every fucking thing.

Rabid dogs bare their teeth When they can smell blood Stark trees catch fire Their roots drown in the flood This is life Hold me tight Bodies fall with the rain The water doesn't cleanse The priests and slaves raise their fists Begging for the end This is life Hold me tight Their bones are broken They pray to God Just fucking end me Just fucking end me Their bones are broken They pray to God Just fucking end me Just fucking end me Rabid dogs bare their teeth When they can smell blood Stark trees catch fire Their roots drown in the flood This is life Hold me tight Bodies fall with the rain The water doesn't cleanse The priests and slaves raise their fists Begging for the end This is life Hold me tight Their bones are broken They pray to God Just fucking end me Just fucking end me Their bones are broken They pray to God Just fucking end me Just fucking end me Snakes leave the grass When pigs eat the rats Snakes leave the grass When pigs eat the rats Crows leave the nest To close the family crest The priests and slaves raise their fists Begging for the end This is life Hold me tight.

Killing time to make up the days Chasing stones that scratch my eyes If I could see I'd still be blind Jesus Christ's not on my side These bricks that tell us lies Build the home that is forgotten Create the house that rots your words I know I'll never be one of them All That you have Is the word of a myth The speech of a crook All That you have Is the word of a myth The speech of a crook Killing time to make up the days Chasing stones that scratch my eyes If I could see I'd still be blind Jesus Christ's not on my side These bricks that tell us lies Build the home that is forgotten Create the house that rots your words I know I'll never be one of them All That you have Is the word of a myth The speech of a crook All That you have Is the word of a myth The speech of a crook Killing time to make up the days Chasing stones that scratch my eyes If I could see I'd still be blind Jesus Christ's not on my side These bricks that tell us lies Build the home that is forgotten Create the house that rots your words I know I'll never be one of them Killing time to make up the days Chasing stones that scratch my eyes If I could see I'd still be blind Jesus Christ's not on my fucking side.

The times are changing And I can't fucking breathe I'm choking on my words My lungs are filled with fucking dirt and leaves It's not a case Of life or death I don't need to treasure every breath I'm not ungrateful To any God I just don't need what I've been taught The times are changing And I can't fucking breathe I'm choking on my words My lungs are filled with dirt and leaves It's not a case Of life or death It's not a case Of life or death It's not a case Of life or death It's not a case Of life or death The times are changing And I can't fucking breathe I'm choking on my words My lungs are filled with fucking dirt and leaves The times are changing And I can't fucking breathe I'm choking on my words My lungs are filled with fucking dirt and leaves.
