[Verse 1]

My voice channeling

A circuit's end

The house we lived in

Stricken with blight

Finding ways to kill the pain

(Kill the pain, kill the pain)

Let the river run wild

Dreams shattering

Aerial sound

[Chorus]

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see it's all tarnished?

[Verse 2]

Tried the poise

To radiate

Tried my words

To illustrate

Finding ways to end the pain

(Ways to end the pain, ways to end the pain)

Let the river run wild

Dreams shattering

Fixing to die

[Chorus]

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see it's all tarnished?

[Post-Chorus]

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

[Bridge]

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

[Verse 3]

My voice travelling

Soaring bird above your head

The house we lived in

Ridden with disease

[Chorus]

Scrape the lacquer

Can't you see, it's all tarnished?

[Post-Chorus]

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

The levee breaking

I can't live to fight once more

[Outro]

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby

The road to the grave is straight as an arrow

I'm just staying around to sing your song, baby
