FUEL - Bittersweet lyrics

rate me

Seven sins of wantonness and<br>Everything that's good is gone<br>Sell it all for glory from the peers<br>Silicone priestess scratch the back and<br>Twists the knife to bone<br>Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins<br><br>I'm the enemy in the enemies now<br><br>Swallowed the pill<br>Drank to the fill<br>All these things I carry now<br>In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now<br>Try to hold the world there sinking,<br>Swimming in a paper cup<br>Try to own the one beneath the skin<br>Held up to the flame 'till singeing<br>Skin begins to draw and tuck<br>Never told there's a chance to win<br><br>What couldn't be, wouldn't be now<br><br>Hold your hands up to the sky and try<br>So hard to rise above<br>But everything is beating down
