Lyrics
Deathwish
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was a time for change
I fear it came and went
Who's gonna pick up the pieces?
Who will be left to repent?
The sun is burnt out black
Now there's no turning back
Now there's no turning back
Yeah, I know you know
That we've been living a lie
Turn a blind eye
Until the day we die
Maybe we've passed the point of not return
Maybe we just want to watch the world burn
We just want to watch the world burn
Our collapse will be remission
A planet scarred beyond all recognition
Suicide in slow motion, is this the path that we've chosen?
Too cowardly to face this, we've got a fucking death wish
You want to play with fire?
Don't cry when you get burnt
You gave us life, we gave back death in return
The sun is burnt out black
Now there's not turning back
We will consume until there's nothing left
Remember us as a waste of breath
Yeah, I know you know
That we've been living a lie
Turn a blind eye
Until the day we die
Maybe we've passed the point of not return
Maybe we just want to watch the world burn
We just want to watch the world burn
I know you know
That we've been living a lie
Maybe we've passed the point of not return
We just want to watch the world burn
I want to believe that it all counts for something
The writing is on the wall
It's hard to accept that it was all for nothing
All for nothing
Yeah, I know you know
That we've been living a lie
Turn a blind eye
Until the day we die
Maybe we've passed the point of not return
Maybe we just want to watch the world burn
We just want to watch the world burn
