"Revelator" lyrics

"Revelator"

I got tired of sadness
I got tired of all the madness
I got tired of being a badass all the time
It's only survival
Only not dead upon arrival
Only ahead of every rival that we find

And we've ridden beyond where we could safely touch down
And we're out in the void past where we could've had turned around
I tried my feet on the floor, tried to beat on the door
But it didn't even make a sound
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down

It's easy to go babe
It's just an easy yes or no, babe
It's just an easy way to throw away what we have
I don't need a letter
I don't need anybody better
I don't need anybody ever, I never have

And you've ridden beyond where you could safely touch down
And you're out in the void past where you could've had turned around
Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But it didn't even make a sound
I got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down

Now sooner or later
It's just an empty elevator
Just the song of the revelator on every floor
Now how can I get it right?
I don't even like what I write
I don't even like what I like anymore

But I stand in the yard and watch the evening come down
And I shuffle the cards when all the idiots come around
Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But you didn't even turn around
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
I got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down

Hey I told you before, I needed you more
But you couldn't even turn around
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
Got my heart open wide
But the city been shut down
