==Lyrics== | |||
Viper rooms and memories of cocaine fun<br> | |||
I wish I could brag about a history I pissed away<br> | |||
Bloody altars abandoned and defamed<br> | |||
It will be painted black again and ___ | |||
Nothing shines better than two-faced Hollywood charm<br> | |||
It leaves me gasping for air<br> | |||
And you see eyes in the back of your head that everyone's laughing at<br> | |||
As you stumble over 30 pieces of despair | |||
Eye for an eye<br> | |||
Tooth for a tooth<br> | |||
You're not worth,<br> | |||
You're not worth<br> | |||
Even telling the truth | |||
The axe from the last battle in your chest<br> | |||
It seeks deliverance and rest<br> | |||
From the constant clicking of your pin and needle<br> | |||
May you never grow up<br> | |||
May you never grow feeble | |||
Eye for an eye<br> | |||
Tooth for a tooth<br> | |||
You tell me when it's worth<br> | |||
Telling you the truth | |||
?<br> | |||
?<br> | |||
You'll never know peace in your life<br> | |||
Or anything else but you'll always have the upper hand | |||
Eye for an eye<br> | |||
Tooth for a tooth<br> | |||
How come you're not worth<br> | |||
Not worth even telling the truth<br> | |||
Eye for an eye<br> | |||
Tooth for a tooth<br> | |||
It's not worth<br> | |||
It's not worth ever telling you the truth | |||
