The Lottery

lyrics

I cry out "it's just a matter of time"
Like a rope against a rusted hutch
I will break down
You goddamned fool
With a liar's sense of pride
Got caught dead to rights
The attic light, it just went out

Who the fuck said we were safe
Who the fuck are you anyway
I'm driving the point home
Cut the brake-line
Turn the key
Kill the headlights and go to sleep
And brace yourself once more

They're lying in wait
And stalking the skyline
An ambush in half time
They're chancing their fate
We're twisting it clockwise
Like handles on steak knives

The art with the arsonist
Is echoing off coffin lids
It never breaks or changes shape
It's strong like stone
But bends like clay

The meek count sheep,
the weak count wolves
The strong won't sleep
Until their blood runs cold
A straight line's always faster my friend
You're shaking the goddamned canvas again

They're lying in wait
And stalking the skyline
An ambush in half time
They're chancing their fate
We're twisting it clockwise
Like handles on steak knives

It's a requiem
Cheers to the impending end.
Sing an elegy
Send my body out to sea

They're lying in wait
And stalking the skyline
An ambush in half time
They're chancing their fate
We're twisting it clockwise
Like handles on steak knives
Who the hell let them through
They're scared of the truth
The evidence failed
And they're all out of proof
We're lying in wait
And stalking the skyline
