born again pessimist - Architects

I took an easy ride so the world could pretend that I'm superior

You'd have an honest man if you took the time to wire up my jaw

I fell asleep in the backseat, fuck, it was so sweet

I ran a red like I saw a matador

Yeah, the sun might melt whilst you wait for my arteries to thaw

I'm taking you to war, I'm taking you to war

I'm never gonna spill my guts

It feels like death by a thousand cuts

So when the here and now holds me down

I fall apart

I don't wanna talk too much

I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch

So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round

God bless my big empty heart

I'll only lose my head if I stand too close to hysteria

And if it took your breath, then I'm betting that I focused on the flaw

So go and set me in concrete, I'm just a deadbeat

You always said I'm the wolf that's at your door

I would drown myself, but the thirst'd have me coming back for more

I'm never gonna spill my guts

It feels like death by a thousand cuts

So when the here and now holds me down

I fall apart

I don't wanna talk too much

I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch

So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round

God bless my big empty heart

God bless my big empty heart

I'm just a born again pessimist

I'll only kick you from the precipice

Come follow me, we'll march on heaven's gates

I'm never gonna spill my guts

It feels like death by a thousand cuts

So when the here and now holds me down

I fall apart

I don't wanna talk too much

I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch

So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round

God bless my big empty heart

(My big empty heart)

(My big empty heart)

(My big empty heart)

God bless my big empty heart
