Lyrics
Half-Truism
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.
One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
Don't make it better
The twisting knife turns a blind self onto someone else
By self-liberation we'll leave this behind
Beyond swings and errors they ain't on our mind
To make it better, shake it off
It never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
The banner you're waving is burning in red
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn: watch the city burn
Your own liberation will leave them behind
All mistakes and errors they ain't on your mind
Don't make it better 'cause
It never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
I won't calm down
The banner you're waving is burning in red
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
It never mattered anyway
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only last for so long
