Lyrics

Cain Said To Abel

Cain said to Abel
"Brother, I've been bad
Killed a fleet of angels with my bare hands"
Cain said to Abel
"Brother, I've been bad
And I can't
Find my glasses"

This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a drink
This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a fight

Success has been cruel
This year has been hard
Falling out of love
With the one thing I had known

This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a drink
This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a fight

Discipline, discipline disappearing
Echoing, echoing, exiting
Discipline, discipline disappearing
Nothing there, nothing works, nothing matters
Every time, every time, I look over
Everything, everyone, every time
Family, family, shredded by
Liberty, liberty, literally
You can be, you can be, you can see it
Literally, literally, instantly
History, history disappearing
Echoing, echoing, exiting
You look up, you look over, you can see it
Disappearing, disappearing instantly
Literally, literally, telling them
They'll be different, they'll be special, they'll be better

This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a drink
This self-obsessed sinner
I hear he loves a fight
