Solway Firth

Lyrics

Today, up on this hill
 I'm counting all the killers
 They sway as they swarm
 A look of gluttons in their eyes
 They mutter as the body loses warmth
 They pick your bones like locks inside a tomb
 And take great care to not take care of you
 ♪
 Here's an unexplainable one
 ♪
 Here's an unexplainable one
 ♪
 While I was learning to live
 We all were living a lie
 I guess you got what you wanted
 So I will settle for a slaughterhouse soaked in blood and betrayal
 It's always somebody else
 Somebody else was me
 You want the real smile?
 Or the one I used to practice
 Not to feel like a failure?
 I don't need you to do it for me
 I don't need you to understand
 I don't need you to hide it from me
 I just want to feel like any other man
 I won't show you the whole story
 I won't show you the aftermath
 I won't show you my allegory
 Don't look away
 Here's an unexplainable one
 ♪
 Here's an unexplainable one
 
 Here's an unexplainable one
 ♪
 I'm not ahead of my time
 I just drew the first breath
 If I'm alive tomorrow
 I will alleviate the pressure
 By cutting you out of me
 I found my bottom line
 Dead on the front lines
 I know I'll never go home
 So set fire to your ships
 And past regrets and be free
 I don't need you to do it for me
 I don't need you to understand
 I don't need you to hide it from me
 I just want to feel like any other man
 I won't show you my whole story
 I won't show you the aftermath
 I won't show you my allegory
 Don't look away
 Here's an unexplainable one
 ♪
 What have you done?
 What have you done?
 ♪
 While I was learning to live
 You taught me how to die
 I guess I got what I wanted
 Another needle in the back through purified scarification
 It wasn't somebody else
 You fucking did it to me
 You want a real smile?
 I haven't smiled in years
