Flicker

[Verse 1]

I don't mind

The rising water

And falling sky

Play safe

Make haste

Just wait

Betray everything you suffered for

Save face

Play games

But can't change

That empty taste in your mouth

[Chorus]

Will you keep me company

As my candle burns out?

I can't help thinking

That these rules were made up as they go

Who knew it's not enough to bleed?

It makes one wonder

If we'll rise above the waves

Or get pulled under?

[Verse 2]

Idolize

Some sensе of purpose

And blatant lies

It's staged

It's all an illusion

You'll bе the last to see

Behave the price is a burden

Wolves make remarkable sheep

God forbid that I should give

My pity to the wealthy swine

Among us pigs

Unworthy of the air we breathe

The life we live

They figure if you knock one down

The rest will give way

[Chorus]

Will you keep me company

As my candle burns out?

I can't help thinking

That these rules were made up as they go

Who knew it's not enough to bleed?

It makes one wonder

If we'll rise above the waves

Or get pulled under?

[Bridge]

I know exactly what you want

I just can't give it to you

My soul is written in the foot

I'm sure my feet will follow through

[Chorus]

Will you keep me company

As my candle burns out?

I can't help thinking

That these rules were made up as they go

Who knew it's not enough to bleed?

It makes one wonder

If we'll rise above the waves

Or get pulled under?
