lyrics

Why so Bleak?

I know we’re sailing in sea of shit
We can’t see the future that’s why we won’t give up yet
French girls don’t wear helmets when they ride their bikes
They want fire when they ask, ‘you got a light?’

This world of darkness
Barely a chance
So much beauty
In these trembling hands

Promise me every longing
And then make me wait
For some broken salvation
A dark interstate

French girls don’t care about your pretty lies
Vanity is emptiness’ favorite disguise

This holy terror preys on the weak
Kill off the good guys
Oh, why so bleak
