Gods of Glass & Wire

Alive

I build an idol with my hands
And gave it rules I never could withstand
Dressed it up in shame and pride
Just to watch it killing me from the inside

Burn the altar, smash the fram
No one's coming, no one's saved
Every truth I ever claimed
Was built to keep the rot contained

Built the myth that held me down
I am king, I wear the crown

I walk through hell just to feel alive
Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself

I build an idol with my hands
And gave it rules
I never could withstand
Dressed it up in shame and pride
Just to watch it killing me from the inside

False prophecies have led me to this broken place
No exit signs, no golden gate
Wires wound too tight to hold
Cursing myself but fuck everyone that ever fueled the belief of a promised land

I am king

I walk through hell just to feel alive
I'm bleeding out, every breath I take gets sacrificed
Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself

Dale

Bleed me clean
I'm tired of fire
Screaming at gods made of glass and wire

I walk through hell just to feel alive
I'm bleeding out, every breath I take gets sacrificed
Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself

Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself

I build an idol with my hands
And gave it rules
I never could withstand
Dressed it up in shame and pride
Just to watch it killing me from the inside

False prophecies have led me to this broken place
No exit signs, no golden gate
Wires wound too tight to hold
Cursing myself but fuck everyone that ever fueled the belief of a promised land

I am king

I walk through hell just to feel alive
I'm bleeding out, every breath I take gets sacrificed
Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself

Dale

Bleed me clean
I'm tired of fire
Screaming at gods made of glass and wire

I walk through hell just to feel alive
I'm bleeding out, every breath I take gets sacrificed
Down on my luck which is no surprise to anyone else
Nor myself
