lyrics

Shamelessly messing around
Not that there's reason to doubt
There's any shame in behaving this way
I'm all in now

Well you feel holier than thou when there's love in the air
And you've got chances upon chances to rehearse and prepare
But don't forget that just a month ago you stared in the mirror
Imagining a bayonet sticking out your ribcage

I'm only satisfied
When I'm fearing for my life
Watching the wing for a moment serene
You're the only people on my mind

Well you feel holier than thou when there's love in the air
And you've got chances upon chances to rehearse and prepare
But don't forget that just a month ago you stared in the mirror
Imagining a bayonet sticking out your ribcage
A bayonet sticking out your ribcage

I woke up in a war and battened down the hold
2009 you did 2010 you won't
You used to be a friend
It'll never be the same again

There's always hope until you give up then it's gone
Nothing ever ends people just move on
So save your sorrow for for the dead we walk upon
Yeah every step we take treads on an indian's grave

Well you feel holier than thou when there's love in the air
And you've got chances upon chances to rehearse and prepare
But don't forget that just a month ago you stared in the mirror
Imagining a bayonet sticking out your ribcage
A bayonet sticking out your ribcage
