THIS IS HELL - Dead Salutes lyrics

rate me

We're all just singing along <br>

to the same tired beats and hollow songs, <br>

as if there's nothing wrong.<br>

These are familiar games.<br>

They're well rehearsed on a well worn stage.<br>

And everyone is lining up with dead salutes and lifeless praise.<br>

The actors are all droning on and underneath said tired song.<br>

A battered throat, attempts to choke, <br>

and make a sound that's been gone for too long.<br>

If tonight is all we'll ever know, <br>

then tonight I'm ripping flesh from bone.<br>

I'm slashing throats from ear to ear.<br>

I'm screaming so the deaf can hear.<br>

(Tonight) is all we'll ever know.<br>

(Tonight) I'm ripping flesh from bone.<br>

(Tonight) slashing throats from ear to ear.<br>

(Tonight) screaming so the deaf can hear.<br>

Tonight is all we know.<br>

These are familiar games, <br>

they're well rehearsed on a well worn stage.<br>

Battered throats forever choke, <br>

to take back everything that's been taken away.<br>

We take back everything.<br>

These are the anthems for all your darkest days, <br>

get used to them they may not go away.<br>

These are the lullabies for all your sleepless nights.<br>

This is a latter to you hidden in plain sight.<br>

(Tonight) is all we'll ever know.<br>

(Tonight) I'm ripping flesh from bone.<br>

(Tonight) slashing throats from ear to ear.<br>

(Tonight) screaming so the deaf can hear.<br>

So lock your doors, bar your windows, <br>

learn to love the solitude, run and hide.<br>
