The Destroyer - Soul Central

Just look at the world around you Actually, no, don't look Just look at the world around you Actually, no, don't look But if you only knew how I cry foul every hour of every day Well, I hope you've enjoyed your stay Here in the City of the Dying Embers The petite Terror Train that thought that it could We throw the game and oh how it feels so good To be drunk on the field again To be drunk on the field Again Come out, come out, wherever you are But you don't, the dead don't come out The dead twist and shout in an invisible world The Grand Ole Opry of Death is breathless Breathless Breathless Breathless Breathless What do you do with it? For whom have you been saving? What do you do with it? For whom have you been saving? Oh yes, you've been good to me in your way That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven That's what I'll write about when I write about The Raven

I can swallow secrets And spit up blackmail Saccharine words and plastic charm Can dazzle for a short time I just want to help you In my own selfish way I will bow my head and kiss your hand wishing I could snap every finger

Get me out of this God-forsaken city Let me start over somewhere new All my friends have turned up missing I can't blame it on my youth Throw my heart in the well of wishing Pay my toll to just move on Ask myself to please forgive me All my innocence is gone Backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make 'Cause they backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make All the street lights lead me to the river All my ghosts not far behind If I could leave this town forever It seems like no ones on my side Duck your head and run for cover Cross that bridge and just move on Save myself but lose another All my innocence is gone Backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make 'Cause they backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make And I can't find a cure Oh, to fix me anymore And all these things I've done Have got me on the run Got me on the run Backfire They backfire, all these choices Backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make 'Cause they backfire They backfire, all these choices you're scared to make Get me out of this God-forsaken city Let me start over somewhere new
