lyrics

there's murder in every sentence
these are bitter men
cold as stone
I read in your expression
something vast and lost alone

and I don't want to go down like that
that angry monster on your back
talons deep and eyes coal black
a vicious smile an cruel steel laugh

and these are the last days of our lives
any spark left in your eyes, still hungry for a fight?
and these are the last days of our lives
dawn's new morning light, what's left to shine upon?

now you hang on syllable
lips part to form the words
they're dropping like atomic bombs
on a desolate world

and I'm not certain that I like that
I'm not rigid, I'm not slack
there are some words you can't take back
when you stumble into their trap

and these are the last days of our lives
any spark left in your eyes, still hungry for a fight?
and these are the last days of our lives
dawn's new morning light, what's left to shine upon?

now ghosts patrol the highway
like a fog that won't dissolve
your secrets learn to haunt you
like the betrayal they involved

and I don't want to go down like that
that angry monster from my past
talons deep, still in my back
your last gasp, a cynics laugh

and these are the last days of our lives
any spark left in your eyes, still hungry for a fight?
and these are the last days of our lives
dawn's new morning light, what's left to shine upon?
