Gilded Lily - Cults

I make my lips bleed red Put my hair up and down and around Lay it in a good place Wishing it would float til the end of time With glitter in our eyes Lined with rings of silver lighting up the night I can see it in your soul You'd also want to shine so bold My skin is a flaking shell You can break it away Take it apart I don't need it And I cover myself Make my skin Shine like gold Make me golden We always wish for change In a dream I replaced our faces We're not comfortable in skin Let's pretend that we have feathers You can cover us in paint We'll drink up, put it in our own veins Paint on colorful things Make me shine My skin is a flaking shell You can break it away Take it apart I don't need it And I cover myself Make my skin Shine like gold My skin is a flaking shell You can break it away Take it apart I don't need it And I cover myself Make my skin Shine like gold Make me golden Drinking gold, shining gold

Open eyes adjusting to the dark The growlin' of machinery Can't say if it's night or day And you know, somewhere in there, you know There will be a price to pay 'til all this goes away So we walk the empty halls, the dirty walls We smear our names in them Dirt we find beneath our nails Can't be scrubbed from our tired hands, never clean We're never clean We're never clean Walk the halls, soot along the walls Some will smear their names in it, while some just go away And you know, somewhere in there, you know There's nothing here but surviving 'til something goes away But through the cracks in this machine We see the light, we see the sun dissolve And we feel the pulse of life A better life on the other side, and we wait And so we wait And so we wait Time is lost, found cracks along my bones This metal god is all I know Now something's gone away And you know, somewhere in there, you know Our blood's in the machinery Our heart's in the machinery And that's what went away
