"Beneath The Barrel" lyrics

"Beneath The Barrel"

It was a combination of ourselves
That stepped into the fire
A feeling far from great but climbing higher
It would be easier to know the truth
If everybody lied like you
Look beneath the barrel there's your proof

Silence all around
Listening for the sounds
You wouldn't want to hear right now
Show me where it hurts
Surrounded by the words
You wouldn't want to hear right now

I guess change is just another word
For things that cannot be
Yet behind the eyes there's something close to hunger
And beneath the barrel's where we'll stay
Till someone comes and finds us here
But who can say if that will take much longer?

Silence all around
Listening for the sounds
You wouldn't want to hear right now
Show me where it hurts
Surrounded by the words
You wouldn't want to hear right now

Silence all around
Listening for the sounds
You wouldn't want to hear right now
Show me where it hurts
Surrounded by the words
You wouldn't want to hear right now

The days of the damp, the din and the dark
Monstering back, tore me apart
I sat on the ground at the edge of the park
They left for a moment but hadn't gone too far

Run like blood
To the beginning
Back to hate
Back to sinning
Back to poison
Back to nothing
Back to shame
And never forgiving

Silence all around
Listening for the sounds
You wouldn't want to hear right now
Show me where it hurts
Surrounded by the words
You wouldn't want to hear right now

Run like blood
To the beginning
Back to hate
Back to sinning
Back to poison
Back to nothing
Back to shame
And never forgiving

And you took my soul like it meant something
And you took away my choice to sin
And you notified my next of kin
And you took my fucking everything
