I'll take the check please
Cuz this food's been cold for days
It's showing signs of decay
It's unappealing
Oh the heart's a bag
That can fit so many things
Yeah but when it's full
It breaks easy
So who needs it
Because things are better now that you're away
I can drown in shallow pools of bad mistakes
So let's lay down the carcass
And let the vultures have their way
I'm sorry for the bomb
Yeah but something had to give
And I can't live there any longer
I am too young to enlist
In the armies of the plain
And if I don't die
I might get stronger
And live longer
Because things are better now that you're away
I can drown in shallow pools of bad mistakes
So let's lay down the carcass
And let the vultures have their way
It was a waste of time
We looked better when
Our arms weren't bound and tied
[Guitar solo!!!!!!!]
Yeah the heart's a bag
That can fit so many things
Yeah but when it's full
It breaks easy
So who needs it
Because things are better now that you're away
I can drown in shallow pools of bad mistakes
So let's lay down the carcass
And let the vultures have their way
