Sunset

I PLAYED THE DIVE, I PAID THE FEE

STILL NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ME

OLD GODS SIT HIGH ON RUSTED THRONES

THEY THROW ME SCRAPS AND BROKEN TONES

THEY SHAKE THEIR HEADS, THEY SMIRK AND SNEER

PRETEND THEY’RE KINGS, YEAR AFTER YEAR

BUT I DON’T BOW, I DON’T BEHAVE

I DIG MY TRUTH OUT OF THE GRAVE

THEY WANT THE SOUND THAT FITS THEIR MOLD

NOT SOMETHING FIERCE, NOT SOMETHING BOLD

BUT I AIN’T HERE TO KISS THE RING

I CAME TO SET THIS WORLD ON STING

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

MY BOOTS ARE WORN, MY CHORDS ARE RAW

I’VE BLED FOR EVERY NOTE I SAW

WHILE THEY SELL SILENCE TO SURVIVE

I SING THE WOUNDS THAT KEEP ME ALIVE

THEY WANT THE SAME, THE CLEAN, THE FAKE

BUT I WAS BORN TO HOWL AND BREAK

EACH SUNSET BLEEDS ACROSS MY MIND

REMINDS ME WHAT THEY’LL NEVER FIND

I WRITE FOR LOVE, NOT YOUR ACCLAIM

NOT HUNGRY HANDS OR FLEETING FAME

THE SUN MAY SET, BUT I REMAIN

STILL PLAYING THROUGH THE COLD AND RAIN

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

I CARVE MY PATH WITH BROKEN STRINGS

WHILE VULTURES CIRCLE PRETTY THINGS

THEY’LL CHOKE ON TRENDS, I’LL HUM THE DIRT

AND TURN THEIR STARES INTO MY HURT

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY

I SING ALONE

THEY LOOK AWAY

MY STONE

I’LL SCREAM, NOT PRAY
