Hollywood Vampires - Congratulations lyrics
[Hollywood Vampires - Congratulations lyrics]
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death i shall fear no evil
It walks near me, it smiles
It shows it's teeth
Not from above but from beneath
It laughs in my face but not at my faith
The dark looks for me and can't understand
How I slipped right through it's fingers
Congratulations
The cries of the crow becoming clear
Bleeding day into night without fear
Into the temple of sacrifice and doom
I walked alone into the red room
We're way beyond the land without order
Surrounded by faces, drums of death
I cheated time and I know I
Ain't got much time left
You, you killed it, humanity congratulations
Every day I wake up, it's a fight to survive
The humanoid selfish egomaniacal
Instant gratification world
Money, greed, ugly need, how much is enough?
Fame, being king of the rats
Time is vicious, dummy
Look at me, look at you, we're all the same
Just trying to stay alive congratulations
The unknown no one of nowhere
Knew nothing new as never before
Lost his life in love with love
Left alone always
Leapt off towards another waste of what
Would wind up what once was but wasn't
One tarnished trophy to which
Has been said goodbye
The only word that was ever needed
Have I lost what was never given me? Nope
I don't buy into the tooth fairy
The Easter bunny nor any
Of your favorite crutches
Every day is just another game to play
You lose now, you lose later
Winning is the gift of playing the game
Bite off as much as you can chew
And spit out what you don't need
You have to go away to come back
Do not pander, ponder, rise
To return to an orderly decision
Of being born or not
The sickness parade is here, tick tock
Tick tock
There ain't nothing that can protect you
From the brutality of life's clock
It will sneak up and bite
You right on the ass
And after just a few short
Years in your narcissistic pavilion
You will shrivel and wither
Like a humiliated grape
Anyone ever tell you you talk
Too much? Probably not
You speak much better when your mouth is full
Your epitaph will be scribbled in crayons
On a scorching sidewalk congratulations
Of the shadow of death i shall fear no evil
It walks near me, it smiles
It shows it's teeth
Not from above but from beneath
It laughs in my face but not at my faith
The dark looks for me and can't understand
How I slipped right through it's fingers
Congratulations
The cries of the crow becoming clear
Bleeding day into night without fear
Into the temple of sacrifice and doom
I walked alone into the red room
We're way beyond the land without order
Surrounded by faces, drums of death
I cheated time and I know I
Ain't got much time left
You, you killed it, humanity congratulations
Every day I wake up, it's a fight to survive
The humanoid selfish egomaniacal
Instant gratification world
Money, greed, ugly need, how much is enough?
Fame, being king of the rats

Look at me, look at you, we're all the same
