"The Consummate Dragon" lyrics
"The Consummate Dragon"
It is truly the perfect being:
Its armor is tenfold shields
Its teeth, swords
Claws in the guise of greeting hands
How does it sleep at night
This tyrant-
Heaping slaves on the pyre
Just to watch ambition burn
It is truly the perfect being:
Its armor is tenfold shields
And from its tongue, fire
Could any being verily bask in malevolence?
As if its indifference might pardon it
This Tyrant
He is the fatherless
With the arrogance of a being that insists it created itself
Tear it down
What can it create?
This uninspired muse rules only barren lands
It cannot create a thing
When the public speaks the truth
Simply tear it down
Dissent, and smolder
Your thoughts are law, Great Dragon
Just spare me and mine
While I bide my time
Knowing you well
The enemy
Cover may the everymen
I show no recoil for
A would-be dragon
The common man is the consummate dragon -
The poorest excuse of a man
My chest to shields
My teeth to swords
My hands to claws
And fire...
Now we can make war
A titan against a titan

Hopesfall - "A Man Exits" I escaped the horizon
Feeling nothing was the easiest existence
Leaving a world of regret in a wake of flames
No flame ever burned as bright
I will not leave a martyr
No more eyes to frame my falls

Sing sing keep sinking
Let the cars keep swerving
Let the songs keep skipping
Crush crush keep kissing
Shoot shoot keep missing
I used to compare myself but I don't care...
Every Time I Die - "Romeo A Go-Go" Tonight I'm coming home in a coma if it fucking kills me.
Listless but relieved, beaming like a newborn hostage.
Orphaned by an ambulance. I got this new black eye just for you.

Have Heart - "Get The Knife" Name me one thing that you have ever stayed true to besides the trends
You change, you switch, you go with the motherfucking seasons
So tell me just why should I ever trust you when I know you're not...
Comeback Kid - "The Trouble I Love" So here I go again
We had our chance
half smile, you look my way
run now and some might say
"We all die alone."
And I’ll never forget what killed us
she screams to be alone
Going over it...
