Long Road - Blitz Kids

I’ve created a monster, it feeds on my guilt

I’m lying with vultures, they’re watching me wilt

Patiently waiting for me to decay

I’ve got half of my breath left, I’m one stitch away

And there’s no decorum, they won’t be polite

They’ll just rip up my bones til there’s no flesh in sight

But I’ll be fine

It’s a long road to the top

When your friends play the anchor you call, they don’t answer

Don’t ask me to watch while you’re killing yourself (whoa yeah)

Heartbreaks, mistakes.

Trust me I’m a mess, but I beat myself best

It’s a long road to the top when you’re on your own

When the feast is all over, the crowd disappears

I’m left with an uneasy sense that I’m soon to face all my fears

This is the only way I have to show you

The things I’m too terrified for anyone to know

Honestly, it’s just to be alone

But I’ll be fine

It’s a long road to the top

When your friends play the anchor you call, they don’t answer

Don’t ask me to watch while you’re killing yourself (whoa yeah)

Heartbreaks, mistakes.

Trust me I’m a mess, but I beat myself best

It’s a long road to the top when you’re on your own

I wish there was an easy way to live my life

I’m sick of always acting like I’m doing fine

This is me twenty-three, count the ways so easily that I’m out of time

Whoa, I’m taking all the chances that a boy should take

I’m past the point of caring about the bones I break

This is me, twenty-three, king of my destiny.

I will be fine

It’s a long road to the top

When your friends play the anchor you call, they don’t answer

Don’t ask me to watch while you’re killing yourself (whoa yeah)

Heartbreaks, mistakes.

Trust me I’m a mess, but I beat myself best

It’s a long road to the top when you’re on your own

The perfect way to meet my end.

Free for all, with all my friends.

Dig your teeth into my skin.
