Protest The Hero - Dunsel lyrics
[Protest The Hero - Dunsel lyrics]
And when the underworld's best kept secrets
Saw it's own reflection
I knew things had finally changed
For better or worse whatever as always
Midlife fires start to burn
They burn down our worn protection
I won't take pictures from their frame
Whatever as always
With their hands that sold me everything
Slapped a price tag on my chest
Bit my tongue and shut my mouth
Tried to blend in with the rest
But, I'm a square peg i'm a sore thumb
And it seems to me this apathy
Kills the life and honesty
It will deepen industry
All these songs sound so damn good
Even if their meaning's hollow
Hollow words dry out your mouth
And you might find it hard
To swallow all this shit
That we keep feeding to keep
Ourselves and you believing
That no money can change us then a door
Opens up and some devil persuades us
The songs we sung when we were just young
Have all but lost their meaning
But there's still a few things
Still a few things still a few things
That we keep on believing still a few things
There's still a few things
That we keep on believing
Shitty music just ain't worth making
Smiles and thank yous just ain't worth faking
Some assholes' hands ain't worth shaking
And if it's not broken we need to break it
There's no such thing as unconditional
No contracts bind you in the end
Make no mistake, this is a killing ground
Blood hungry and camouflaged as friend
Select yes at the end of this mess
If you get there
Then it's your only fucking option left
These days I don't know
The people I'm supposed to trust
And I don't trust these people
That I'm supposed to know
The handlebars on my dreams
They slowly start to rust
Helped take everything and somehow
You still know and as the cocaine cowboys
Finally get their wings
And sell them all for blow
These days I don't know these people
That I'm supposed to trust
And I don't trust these motherfuckers
That I'm supposed to know
These handlebars on all my dreams
They slowly start to rust
The cocaine cowboys finally get
Their wings too
Now they sell them all for blow
I make music for myself
Not for handjobs from the upper-tier
Or their undeserved wealth
Here's to their failing fucking health
I don't mean this in a hateful way
But when the people you
Love start walking away
The walls get tighter each and every day
Take your last bite before it crumbles away
There's something inside me I
Just have to say love nothing
Trust no one
Just live for the motherfucking day
Saw it's own reflection
I knew things had finally changed
For better or worse whatever as always
Midlife fires start to burn
They burn down our worn protection
I won't take pictures from their frame
Whatever as always
With their hands that sold me everything
Slapped a price tag on my chest
Bit my tongue and shut my mouth
Tried to blend in with the rest
But, I'm a square peg i'm a sore thumb
And it seems to me this apathy
Kills the life and honesty
It will deepen industry
All these songs sound so damn good
Even if their meaning's hollow
Hollow words dry out your mouth
And you might find it hard
To swallow all this shit
That we keep feeding to keep

That no money can change us then a door
Opens up and some devil persuades us
The songs we sung when we were just young
Have all but lost their meaning
But there's still a few things
Still a few things still a few things
That we keep on believing still a few things
There's still a few things
That we keep on believing
