lyrics

Quick to confide but the feelings switch inside
Pulling you under
I'm synthesized, a compound that you deride
Bleeding the schoolboy dry

Obscenity from the ones who wet our feet
Making me wonder
A little time til the parlour tricks can't hide
Shooting the promos now

I'm born to die
I'm poor and saintless, survived by the lives I'm saving
It takes a lot
To build the faces you found on the northeast pavement

On certain nights when the fortune's not in sight
It comes for another
Sneaking inside on the analgesic high
Direct from the anodyne

Post-narcotic glue
Bind the suffering to
The devil that you know
Now you're sleeping through
Nodding endless and blue

I'm born to die
I'm poor and saintless, survived by the lives I'm saving
It takes a lot
To build the faces you found on the northeast pavement

Maybe this is the thing
What thing?
The thing that you know, does me in
I'm feeling pretty scared about it to be honest
Scared like I can't tell you
You know, it's like every day, I'm thinking about it
And it doesn't really go away, and it never will and
Do you just walk through the door and find out
Or do you keep running from it
You know, and just hope that that's not the thing that gets you in the end

Discerning eye of the ever-fearing guise
Led to the water
I'll let you drink, but you'll have to peer inside
Sledged by the morning side

Sanction the sane in their unforgiving game
Made in their image
Asphyxiate the desire to abate
The fear while you slip away

I'm born to die
I'm poor and saintless, survived by the lives I'm saving
It takes a lot
to build the faces you found on the northeast pavement
