lyrics

THIS IS A PLACE CALLED VILLAINY
WE’RE ONLY HERE FOR THE REST OF OUR DAYS
WE’RE IN A MOTOR CRASH, COLLIDING WITH FATE
SPINNING IN FLAMES THE WAY THAT WE SLAM ON THE BRAKE

WITH THE DESOLATES
COVERED OUR EYES TO THE SIZE AND THE BREADTH OF IT
WHERE A SLIVER OF HOPE REMAINS
REALIZE THAT THE PRIZE WAS THE DEATH OF IT

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN THESE SUNLESS WASTES?
WAS WE LEFT IN OUR WAKE WAS BUILT TO ERASE
AND YOU CAN’T HIDE, OR DENY WHAT LIES UNDER THE VINES
IT IS SERPENTINE, AND IT FINDS ITS WAY TO THE DEPTHS OF OUR LIVES

WITH THE DESOLATES
COVERED OUR EYES TO THE SIZE AND THE BREADTH OF IT
WHERE A SLIVER OF HOPE REMAINS
REALIZE THAT THE PRIZE WAS THE DEATH OF IT

BUT IF I SEEM LESS THAN GRACIOUS
CEDING THESE VICTORIES TO YOU
WHERE NONE BUT A SLIVER OF HOPE REMAINS
PIERCING THE ARMOR AND STRAIGHT TO THE VEINS

ALL WE CAN DREAM OF
IN GARMENTS OF CHAINS
IS ONE SHINING MOMENT
WHERE A SLIVER OF HOPE REMAINS
