Verse

One is for envy and one just for spite

The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes

Don't make it better

The twisting knife turns all by itself, on to someone else

Your self-liberation will leave this behind

Beyond slings and arrows, bearing on our mind

Don't make it better

Shake it off, it never mattered, anyway

If we don't make it alive

It's a hell of a good day to die.

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

The banner you're waving is burning in red

It's blocking the sunlight, that shines overhead

You against the world

Diamonds and pearls, voices inside you churn, watch the city burn

Your own liberation will leave them behind

All the slings and arrows, bearing on your mind

Don't make it better

Break it 'cause it never mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive

It's a hell of a good day to die.

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

I won't come down

The banner you're waving

Is burning in red

You against the world, diamonds and pearls

It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway

If we don't make it alive

It's a hell of a good day to die.

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long.
