Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
Now,all our rage begs a stage
It‘s a waste of time though

And your style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you don‘t like me
Certify Me

Yeah – I don‘t know, yeah
Yeah – I won‘t go, yeah
Yeah – save it I‘m okay, okay

And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It‘s too late for me to change

And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me

Yeah – I don‘t know, yeah
Yeah – I won‘t go, yeah
Yeah – Save it I‘m okay, okay
Yeah - I won‘t play, yeah
Yeah - go away, yeah
Yeah - save it I‘m okay,okay

Oh my father said
Just keep silent
And in the places where you've been
Nobody will say you've been seen

And I go to the woods
Once or twice a year
And I sing doo doo doo
When they shave my hair

And I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
And the old man's ghost
I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
Killin' two white goats

And in the big, big, big cities
I gave all I got
And I shared a secret with a stranger
For he won't say it to my father

And I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
And the old man's ghost
I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
Killin' two white goats

And I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
And the old man's ghost
I can see the vultures
The starvin' vultures
Killin' two white goats
Oh, Killin' two white goats
Oh, Killin' two white goats
Oh, Killin' two white goats

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made, by power being taken
so I keep on running
to protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

Don't give up give up
Don't give up give up give up
Don't give up give up
Don't give up give up give up

I'll be remembered as the one
Who never was afraid to fall
You said you would be able to crawl up
You fold your words to dreams

Nothing but an exaggeration of words you used to say
From now on alone

(I said stop starring)

I said stop staring at the ground
When the door is wide open

And now this stands
The test of time
Another section broken off
Do you have me in mind
I hope that one day, we will be able to sleep again

We will be able to sleep again

(Escaped as two remained as one)
From now on alone
You'll remember our days when we used to watch the skies clouds
We had plans to
Find peace and harmony

I look down to you now and see what you've become

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me,testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin to ride it out
Cause they've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?

When all the fish are in the game
And everybody looks the same
It's hard to tell if they're your friends
They'll never be there in the end

[chorus]
Thats why I hate the smiles and I hate the flies
That buzz around the bullshit
I can't wait to die so all the mouths
Of the vultures can be fed

They only care when you're on top
They'll fuck your girlfriend when you're not
Live off your blood live off your pain
Then when you're gone forget your name

[chorus]
Thats why I hate the smiles and I hate the flies
That buzz around the bullshit
I can't wait to die so all the mouths
Of the vultures can be fed

My life is not a fucking game
My life is not a fucking game

Fuck you my life is not a game
Fuck you my life is not a game

[chorus]
Thats why I hate the smiles and I hate the flies
That buzz around the bullshit
I can't wait to die so all the mouths
Of the vultures can be fed
Of the vultures can be fed

[Adam Green]

Tall and gorgeous
Cold as the summer time
I wish I had some news
To leave you this Caroline

Seen so many vultures
Split so many pieces
Down the line

Kastro would not believe
What comes from below
Fight me gladly
Leave before the battles grow

So good night, crazies
I leave them, feeling lazy
But I'm the god tonight

Golden fabric
Torn from the devil girl's hair
Cheap medallions
Gleam from the Vanity Fair

Seen so many vultures
Split so many creatures
Down there

Breathing life into these mares where enemies turn into flesh
This is the abyss I fear the most
I feel their eyes staring at me

Waiting with carnivorous patience
Their memory timeless
For all they know I must succumb sometime…

A solemn cry rises to the sky as heavy wings blacken out
The morning sun with infinite darkness.
Am I dreaming or am I dead?

Waiting with carnivorous patience
Their memory timeless
For all they know I must succumb sometime…

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

Screaming Voices in my head.
A sudden pain then deadly silence
Devouring the remains of my heart
I can feel it dying

Waiting with carnivorous patience
Their memory timeless
For all they know I must succumb sometime…

In search for my heart
Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

Picking at the bones of my soul
Left me dead inside
The more I gave the more they took
Left me dead inside

In search for my heart
Forever Lost in this hell
The vultures are soaring above
Tearing me apart

You'll find the cross only fits,
When your hands and feet are nailed to it.
Can we get a picture with the pauper,
And another with the prince?
Ma'am, He's got your daughter wrapped in his fist.

To the boys and girls,
He's alabaster,
But to his brothers, just another bastard.
With a story about a girl; enough to make you sick,
And how she made him king of her gracious hips,
She's found a way to crown his fingertips.

Let's show them where the bad ones go.
Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose.
Let's show them where the bad ones go.
Color you criminal, paint black lines on your bones.

Wake all the children from their sleep
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap.
What lives below? He wouldn't know.
So let's tell them where the bad ones go...

You curse the tail between your legs;
Blue faced and black jawed,
Your innocent eyes rotted from your bedroom in the night.
A lesson from the learned:
If your skin won't fit,
Don't seal your soul just yet.

If the herd is the temptation that the faithless can't evade,
We ate all forbidden grapes and retreated to the vineyard,
To the void in which we dwell
With a tortured youth and heartaches we'll sell
I'll be the blood and body if you'll ring that bell.
Let's show them where the bad ones go.
Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose.
Let's show them where the bad ones go.
Color you criminal, paint black lines on your bones.

Wake all the children from their sleep
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap.
What lives below? He wouldn't know.
So let's tell them where the bad ones go...

You'll go down in history
With notebooks, pens, and melodies.
But you're running from all of us.
You're running from all of us.
You're running from all your love.

.

Wake all the children from their sleep
He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap.
What lives below? He wouldn't know.
So let's tell them where the bad ones go...

There’s a point to make
that sometimes goes unheard
like the blood in your veins
you often forget

what we are is a species on the brink
who’ll be left to pick our bones clean

and the vultures swarm high above
ready to feed of the last of us

sacrificial lambs
lead to the slaughter
we eat the shit
they feed us everyday

when there’s one great idea amongst the rest
they try their best to put it back in its place

and the vultures swarm high above
ready to feed of the last of us
so carve me up and hold me down
i’m not done speaking my mind

they said it wouldn’t hurt one bit when they brought us to the brink
they said it wouldn’t hurt one bit
extinction, it’s on our minds
