lyrics

I've Suffered long with jealousy my red badge of shame
so much in fact it makes my head hang
this lust that holds me willingly is calling your name
but i'm calling you to walk away
we're saints who lost our legacy - we gave it away
we traded it for sex, blood, and fame

Bridge -

oh those snakes twist their lips
and with venomous kiss
they will try to sell you something - you don't need
build your worth - and your fame
they will both pass away
and the dust that held your fathers will be sate

Chorus-

There's a hole in my chest - that i've filled - i confess
with a worlds worth of misery and shame
all those diamonds and rings they don't mean a thing
is there anyone out there that can save me - from this wretched man i am

Verse 2 -
Well it's time we answered honestly
we're sick and we're saved
some things you gotta kick till the grave
but we're killing hopeless tendencies
that murderous shame - that circular insanity we crave
no longer will we propagate a lust for these "things"
we pray for open souls
but for all our wealth and money - we're just tombs for dead men's bones

Bridge -

oh those snakes twist their lips
and with venomous kiss
they will try to sell you something - you don't need
build your worth - and your fame
they will both pass away
and the dust that held your fathers will be sate

Chorus
