Posterity - Soft Bullets

We’re in the foreign line and no one’s getting out alive

We’re backed against the ropes

The crowd is screaming for blood

Two young lovers lost in this frozen universe

Starstruck and holding onto anything that floats

I guess it’s true when we met that we were wrapped up in lies

Nothing came between us but the doubt in your eyes

And every doubt grows steady as a spark to the blaze

It’ll burn your house down

Burn your house down down

Can anybody tell me what kind of machine this is It’s beating like a drum against the back of my eyes

Pour more chemicals into the water supply

Take a look around you man they’re dropping like flies

I wanted for nothing more than you to see me come alive

Can’t you understand it’s recognition I strive for?

So I stand here watching as you’re sailing away

And it makes my heart break

Makes my heart break (break break)

We are all born

Helpless and frail

Don’t forget that year

You were all the world

You were all the world

This is the last stop, join the ranks, file off

It’s seven in the morning and you’re way off the chain

High on equity you’re so deep in your profanity

That people just look through you like you’re not even real

And it’s a beautiful thing to see the world from this place

Drifting through the suits with a smile on your face

And as the sun breaks free from it’s municipal cage

You will never look back

Never look back (back back back)

We are all born

Helpless and frail

Don’t forget that year

You were all the world

You were all the world

You were all the world
