GbH - Mechanical Cabaret

I can see right through all the bleeding holes in you

I’m so used to what I’ve seen

And know all too well just what you mean

When you tell me how much it costs you

To get up

Where you now need to be

Because you don’t just pay in currency alone…

You lose your self control

When this deception’s taken hold

You feel no pain but what do you gain

When your life’s been sold?

How low can you sink?

You don’t even seem to think twice about this anymore

You’ve obviously done this before

You give yourself away

And you do it every day

And you try to make it quick but it still makes you sick

You lose your self control

When this deception’s taken hold

Though you feel no pain but what do you gain

When your life’s been sold?

Now, you’re looking old.

Although you’d never been so scared

And on your own

You dared to confront this and go cold

But it was worse than you’d been told

So lying on the floor

Behind a public toilet door

You scraped together all you had left and met with death

Little boys

Like dangerous toys

Nothing exists today but me

I’m in your veins

I hold your reigns

Nothing exists today but me

It’s in my veins

It holds my reigns

Nothing exists today but me
