Live to Die

I wanted to believe hope would survive
even as it's noose was being tied
I never questioned the fact that we'd be saved
And we never looked back as we dug it's grave

When the Angels spiralled to the ground
I just close my eyes and I never looked down
and I didn't feel a thing just like you said
as you all held the gun to my head

It goes away when you lean on a crutch
Can't feel a thing, but the pain's too much
Walking suicide, chemically numb
Why can't I be like everyone?

Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said
That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head
Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find
The knife in your back will get you every time

My only purpose is complacent existence
My only flaw is persistent resistance
Close your eyes and the doubt will subside
I hate this world, I live to die

Justice got its eyes back
so the truth no longer saves
but everyone will turn away
as long as they get paid
the sheep line up for slaughter
never questioning the way
because the past is self-contained
in what happened yesterday

My only purpose is complacent existence
My only flaw is persistent resistance
Close your eyes and the doubt will subside
I hate this world, I live to die

Stigmata wounds created by the words that I said
That ringing in my ears is just the bullet in my head
Shut your mouth, open your eyes and see what truth you find
The knife in your back will get you every time
