Only Dust Songtext
von My Pet Teratoma
Only Dust Songtext
I′ve given you all that I can
In servitude to your master plan
Sacrifices made and broken pacts
Words I've said that can′t be taken back
And its still not good enough
You never spared me a second thought
So won't you get off my back
I can't carry any more, my spines cracked
If you would only look down from your throne
You′d see that everyone′s just skin and bone
I've forgiven you all that I can
But I won′t wash the blood from your hands
Behind me all bridges are aflame
Tears have rusted through my chains
And I've had enough
The cost in pain is too much for your love
So I′m shedding you off my back
Won't bear the standard as you signal attack
I′ll depose your judgemental crown
Make you see your kingdom as it is, from the blood soaked ground
And you can lock me up and throw away the key
Your torture is nothing new to me
You can grind me down until I'm only dust
But I'll clog your lungs until you cough me up
In servitude to your master plan
Sacrifices made and broken pacts
Words I've said that can′t be taken back
And its still not good enough
You never spared me a second thought
So won't you get off my back
I can't carry any more, my spines cracked
If you would only look down from your throne
You′d see that everyone′s just skin and bone
I've forgiven you all that I can
But I won′t wash the blood from your hands
Behind me all bridges are aflame
Tears have rusted through my chains
And I've had enough
The cost in pain is too much for your love
So I′m shedding you off my back
Won't bear the standard as you signal attack
I′ll depose your judgemental crown
Make you see your kingdom as it is, from the blood soaked ground
And you can lock me up and throw away the key
Your torture is nothing new to me
You can grind me down until I'm only dust
But I'll clog your lungs until you cough me up
