"The Company You Keep" lyrics

Fall down to the dirt
With the winds of Hell at your back
Scream again in terror
While the cold runs up your spine and
Shiver in disgust at
The company you keep

Choking
Suffocated by the world you've built
Around your fucking self

The temptation consumes you
Another shot, another pill that you can't leave behind
Then the serpents inside of your circle begin to constrict you
You never cared about the cost and now you'll pay the price

What's it gonna fucking cost
Before it costs your life

It grows so confounding
All these years, still nothing has changed
Insipid little rats run wild
Suicidal when they learn that they
Bleed
You think
That you've suffered
Suffer unto me
When darkness falls
And your vices call their debts
Know you paved your path
Through the valley of death

Fall down to the dirt
With the winds of Hell at your back
Scream again in terror
While the cold runs up your spine and
Shiver in disgust at
The company you keep

So stay fucking mad at the world
Like you got something to prove
Death's a state of mind
But what's that mean to you
You can cry about the pain til you lose your voice
But I could stab you in the heart and you'd still miss the fucking point

Forgiveness
Is a luxury that you will never
See

Lay yourself to rest
And dream a dream of what you'll never be

Remember
Before you speak
Your word only carries the weight
Of the company you keep
