Count Your Losses

No more words, my sire
No more of your lies
The king of deceit
All the tones of silence
Are your best allies
They'll keep you at ease
No more lies
If we could only
Hear no lies

Count your losses
Take their ashes to the grave
You never left your pride aside
No action will be forgiven
Fake devotion
Drove the motions till the end
We didn't leave a word confined
Our story can't be unwritten

All that's dutiful
Breaks inside of you
All that's doable
Is excusable
All that's beautiful
Rots inside of you
All that's scrutable
Is excusable

Count your losses
Take their ashes to the grave
You never left your pride aside
No action will be forgiven
Fake devotion
Drove the motions till the end
We didn't leave a word confined
Our story can't be unwritten

You've lost yourself again
Now you're running on
The streets of loss and shame
You were getting closer
To the great escape
But you'll never heal
If the pain you wreak
Has brought you down
You'll see yourself again
When you're all alone
The streets of emptiness
Will always be your home
And all the hearts betrayed
Won't let you be at peace
With reality right here and now
Don't forget
All that matters
Lies within

Count your losses
Take their ashes to the grave
You never left your pride aside
No action will be unwritten
Fake devotion
Drove the motions till the end
We didn't leave a word confined
Your story won't be forgiven
