Dead Salutes - This Is Hell

We’re all just singing along to the same tired beats and hollow songs,

as if there’s nothing wrong

These are familiar games

They’re well rehearsed on a well worn stage

And everyone is lining up with dead salutes and lifeless priase

The actors are all droning on and underneath said tired song

A battered throat, attempts to choke, and make a sound that’s been gone for too

long

If tonight is all we’ll ever know, then tonight I’m ripping flesh from bone

I’m slashing throats from ear to ear

I’m screaming so the deaf can hear

(Tonight) is all we’ll ever know

(Tonight) I’m ripping flesh from bone

(Tonight) slashing throats from ear to ear

(Tonight) screaming so the deaf can hear

Tonight is all we know

These are familiar games, they’re well rehearsed on a well worn stage

Battered throats forever choke, to take back everything that’s been taken away

We take back everything

These are the anthems for all your darkest days, get used to them they may not

go away

These are the lullabies for all your sleepless nights

This is a latter to you hidden in plain sight

(Tonight) is all we’ll ever know

(Tonight) I’m ripping flesh from bone

(Tonight) slashing throats from ear to ear

(Tonight) screaming so the deaf can hear

So lock your doors, bar your windows, learn to love the solitude, run and hide
