lyrics

Intro:
Well I was walking through the valley of the shadow of death
I swear to god, I felt so high that I got lost in my head
So long
The vultures started circling
They’ve been telling people stories ‘bout the end of my days
I’m screaming “catch me if you can, come and lead me astray”
What’s the score?
We both know
That I never wanted to desert you
I’d sooner take my life than ever try to hurt you, love
But this town had a story to tell
Long before the streets ate me alive

Tell me why you feel the need to view the world so black and white
Are you justified?
These streets are filled with everything
From nameless broken hearts to broken dreams
And they call me the thief
(x4)

They’ve been watching
They see every move you make
The tables have turned
We’ve arrived at the gates of unknown
So far from home
But tonight, we do not show restraint

God forbid we should bend at the knee
The worst part of you is the bastard in me
We all know what’s right
We know when to follow
We all take a side
But can’t erase the sorrow

It’s the price we pay
For living on display

That’s what they waited for
That’s what they waited for
That’s what they came to see

Chorus:
Holy Ghost, did your water turn to wine?
Did you lose something?
Or were you only borrowing my time?
Do you still believe that all those things you’ve said deserve such blind accord?
You’ll see
They’ll hold you high, then let you fall

V2:
Don’t blink now
They’re right behind the door
The patron saint of socialites is begging for support
Are you saved?
Or have you slaved
For some type of salvation?
We got lost on the way

It’s the price we pay
For living on display

(Chorus)

Is this what you want?
Is this what you came for?
When it’s all said and done
Did you get what you prayed for?
Have you got something to say?
Another round for all the pain
Passing red flags on the way
I hear them call
But they don’t know my name
