lyrics

Seven Anthems

does it make you proud to know that you're the king,
to know your bones are safely hidden in their hollow grief,
attentions change yet the scars are growing faster,
a few mistakes, a change of pace, no point in chasing after their lies,
all of them lies,
we've been hand fed for too long so swallow your pride,
throw the book out the window one last kiss goodbye,
be strong when no angels come forward,
my song was sung, seven anthems,
not long ago you let the fire flow the thrill was fueling you,
so you hit em down and you shot em down for you and all you fools,
in and out and in and out and in and out you went,
but remorse of course is not the option when you're left for dead,
what will we do with you, what will we do,
the dogs do not want you and neither do we,
don't let that compel you, you're young and naive,
man or machine it's easy to see
who is real and who is make believe,
man or machine seven anthems we sing,
he watches from above,
you've got to believe,
I’ve wished for a lot of things,
but none of them have brought to me,
anything close to the body she wants to be,
stand by and watch and point out all my flaws,
but a sloth will not help if my hands are not claws,
applaud me and love me however you've learned,
long may you venture never return
to the path laid of anger that burns in your eyes,
down to your toes, the length of your spine,
man or machine it's easy to see,
who is real and who is make believe,
man or machine seven anthems we sing,
man or machine it's easy to see,
who is real and who is make believe,
man or machine seven anthems we sing
