lyrics
I hit, you learn
I smile, you burn
The lies you swallow
From a growing shallow
I the shepherd and you the flock
Behind your back it's you I mock
A cracked mask is my façade
So tonight I will be your god
So let's hit the town tonight
Let's watch the blood pool from the already dead
Drink spirits and eat the meat
We’ve tenderized ourselves
This heart it yearns
For a woman's concern
And now who’s hollow
A shell but no marrow
And I believe, and I believe that you’re the one
Who’s make believe, who’s make believe and I’m alone
How far the hills
They are just hills
But still a mountain to own
Chorus:
So let’s hit the town tonight
Let's watch the blood pool from the already dead
Drink spirits and eat the meat
We’ve tenderized ourselves
Today a prophet
Tomorrow maybe a pile of bones
But today, I'll celebrate
Like I’ll never be alone
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
Catch me if you can
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
'Cause I am more god than man
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
I’ll tear away the flesh
I’ll tear away the flesh
Let's find us some appeal
How is it, like a stuck pig must I bleed
What happened to my reign
I thought I'd rule the day
*Chorus*
I smile, you burn
The lies you swallow
From a growing shallow
I the shepherd and you the flock
Behind your back it's you I mock
A cracked mask is my façade
So tonight I will be your god
So let's hit the town tonight
Let's watch the blood pool from the already dead
Drink spirits and eat the meat
We’ve tenderized ourselves
This heart it yearns
For a woman's concern
And now who’s hollow
A shell but no marrow
And I believe, and I believe that you’re the one
Who’s make believe, who’s make believe and I’m alone
How far the hills
They are just hills
But still a mountain to own
Chorus:
So let’s hit the town tonight
Let's watch the blood pool from the already dead
Drink spirits and eat the meat
We’ve tenderized ourselves
Today a prophet
Tomorrow maybe a pile of bones
But today, I'll celebrate
Like I’ll never be alone
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
Catch me if you can
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
'Cause I am more god than man
I'll bite the hand that feeds me
I’ll tear away the flesh
I’ll tear away the flesh
Let's find us some appeal
How is it, like a stuck pig must I bleed
What happened to my reign
I thought I'd rule the day
*Chorus*
