lyrics

If only good vibes
grew from vines like grapes.
My anger lingers
far beyond by blind faith.
Ain't making peace a nasty game?

She is a boulder
unmercifully fixed upon my back.
I smile through every panic attack.
And I hope she lets go
while begging for more
as the unknown beyond
steadily taps at my door.

I won’t ask for your help
‘cause I’m the perfection queen.
My crown beckons for me to feed the machine.
And nobody else can do it like me:
tearing me down so gracefully
while I bleed.

Watch me, my hands are still.
I can do anything and I will
((For my next / trick / I’m taking control))
((With an honest liar’s vitriol))

I’ll tell you my big secret;
Your queen can sting like bees.
You know I wouldn’t hurt a fly
But can’t a girl have fantasies?
The only prey she wants is me.

Aren’t you tired of being so numb?
Aren't you tired of feeling so blue?
Sick of being told
that happiness is waiting for you;
Grind a little more, toe the little line,
feast your starving eyes
until you go blind.

Fooled myself once again
with a fallacy of who I could be:
A rosy cheeked parody,
a manic pixie dream.
Surrendered my time, wasted away.
“Oh what might they sing about me
After I’ve laid in my grave?”

Watch me, my hands are still.
I can do anything and I will
((For my next / trick / I’m taking control))
((With an honest / liar’s vitriol))

When you win
When you win
When I feed
When I feed
the machine
When I sleep
When I sleep

Our history was
Our history was
Our history was
Written by victors
Victors of
Victors of wars
Victors of wars
