Millionaires

Fallstar

I raise my hands
 Like a javelin in a lightning storm
 The hunger pounds like a drum to our heads
 Heart started stoppin' so just shock me with an AED
 A nicotine fix my heart-itch consumes me

 Bring us into life
 (I'm alive, I can feel, I can taste, for the first time)
 Bring us into life
 (I'm alive, I can feel, I can see, I don't feel dead)

 No one gazes me and lives
 No one lives until they die
 Once alone but not again
 I'm yours until the end
 No one understands the weight that I bore
 Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
 Every orphan everywhere
 And alcoholic millionaires

 So can you look at me now, and to the people who once were?
 We used to carry this guilt on our backs
 Live by the sword and learn to smile with your throat
 Blood on our hands, but can't you see that's over?

 Bring us into life
 (I'm alive, I can feel, I can taste, for the first time)
 Bring us into life
 (I'm alive, I can feel, I can see, I don't feel dead)

 I've made countless attempts to postpone
 My impending failure
 So cut with your imminent glory
 And break off the millstone around my neck

 No one gazes me and lives
 No one lives until they die
 Once alone but not again
 I'm yours until the end
 No one understands the weight that I bore
 Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
 Every orphan everywhere
 And alcoholic millionaires
 I'm yours until the end

 Now I can see you sunk your claws into the dirt
 Shifting orbits, drinking oceans, lifting valleys to my feet
 But I took to my boats and I tasted sunken paths
 I wound myself into the low and called the waters to their shores
 Again you fought to bring me home and lifted low to spire
 Rebuked the seas for heeding me and drained them once again
 I'll do anything to see, so as I die make it slow
 I swear I'll leave this earth in a wide-eyed drunken stare

 No one gazes me and lives
 No one lives until they die
 Once alone but not again
 I'm yours until the end
 No one understands the weight that I bore
 Closed my eyes and I tasted death for
 Every orphan everywhere
 And alcoholic millionaires
