Bring out Your Dead Lyrics

One brief recollection of all the people in my life
That have come and gone
One brief fleeting moment of people i've loved
And people that i've loved
Long lost are loved ones gone
But this bird cannot seem to mend its broken wings
So the lust for life dissipates
And a new greed rises for the needful things

Don't wanna think about it
I indulge myself
Distraction eases pain
Bury my emotions to protect myself
Till I can't feel a fucking thing
I've dared to dream
I've tried to live
But i've played it safe instead
Just another slave to my vices now
Bring out your dead

Voices wither and crack then die
Ringing in my ear would sing me soft asleep
Deathly silence now is all I hear
Has inspiration finally eluded me

My addiction, my illness, my only trusted friend
My addiction, my illness, my only childhood friend
Your twisted warm embrace engulfing all I tried to be
My body's breaking under arms that will not set me free

Locked in this cage that i've built myself
Constructed out of twisted cold
Reminders of life once lost
But i've found my way again
Here among the wreckage and the vampires
I'll play it safe again
Just another slave to my vices now
