"The Band Plays As We All Go Down" lyrics

"The Band Plays As We All Go Down"

We all got problems like dragging around chains
A blood thirst for vengeance goes well with the fame
I'm closing my eyes, can't believe I'm surprised
How many times I've been fooled by the lies

They say I'm the best, yeah or so I thought
That ugly head reared up so often I got
That agent of chaos made crooked by hand
There are no survivors, don't misunderstand

The band plays as we all go down
The band plays as we all go down

I'm looking outward in search of the real
Struggle and inward what demons to kill
My little monsters sit right next to me
They don't even drown when I swim in the sea

The band plays as we all go down
The band plays as we all go down

Now that you've known me for almost forever
Your lighting will show me we're in this together
I need reassurance, this ship won't go down
Break your body in the ocean
The water silence the sound
The water silence the sound

The band plays as we all go down
The band plays as we all go down
The band plays as we all go down
The band plays as we all go down
