Lyrics

    They call her
    Bulldozer speech demon
    Without distractions of hope
    She makes the depression business 
    Look surprisingly novel
    And she’s not just royal
    Allegedly loyal
    Not unfaithful but she has no faith in me
    Inhale the damage smoothly
    Paradise isn’t lost
    It was hiding all along
    

    There’s the ones that you love
    The ones that love you
    The ones that make you come
    The ones that make you come unglued
    I can’t turn my back on you
    When you are walking away
    

    Bottomless celebrity scar
    Staged circuses for empty schoolgirls
    Us boys are all dressed up like
    A mediocre suicide omen
    

    Here comes the red carpet grave
    Again and again and again
    Oh man
    

    There’s the ones that you love
    The ones that love you
    The ones that make you come
    The ones that make you come unglued
    I can’t turn my back on you
    When you are walking away
    

    It’s easy to beat the system
    Had a hard time beating the symptoms 
    

    I can’t turn my back on you
    When you are walking away
    I can’t turn my back on you
    When you are walking away
    Here comes the red carpet grave
    Again and again and again
    Here comes the red carpet grave
    Again and again and again
    Oh man
