lyrics

Here comes The Heavy. Here comes the mirror.
Here comes the shit you just don’t wanna here.
Delusions of grandeur. Narcissistic panderings.
The weight of the world on your broken wings.

Take off my clothes. Peel away my skin.
Wince at the black as night pours in.
Hear these heartstings played. Hear em bend and hear em break.
Hear the hurt in my voice when it quakes

You say it’s okay. I say that it’s not.
To be what I am and not what I ought.
Comfort dulls the blade of a life against the vein.
We’re only living when we’re dying every night.

Here come the tired, the hungry, the poor
Laying their wreaths at your feet, at your door.
Comfort them will you? Yeah, do it of me.
Do it cause I’m too much a coward to see.

You say it’s okay. I say that it’s not.
To be what I am and not what I ought.
Comfort dulls the blade of a life against the vein.
We’re only living when we’re dying every night.
