Lyrics
Coliseum
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.
Got nightmare walking on two legs
There’s a word for people like us
Can’t shake the feeling
We’re moving backwards
History repeating itself
Ain’t got time to prove
Why even bother?
Just ignore the signs
Ain’t got time to lose
Can’t change the drama
In time you’ll see
The empire never ended
McSweeney draws first blood
Teeth hit the floor
Fingers twitch on the remote
The crowd want more more more
They’re waiting for the ground and pound
To turn his face into raw meat
Little Johnny turns to mommy
This is is what I want to be
Because
Pain is hopeful
Pain is holy
Pain is healthy
Pain heals
