Bittersweet Lyrics

seven sins of wantonness 
and everything that's good is gone
sell it all for glory from the peers 
silicone priestess 
scratch the back and 
twist the knife to bone 
kick against the pricks and 
scrape the shins 
i'm the enemy in the enemies now 

chorus:
swallowed the pill 
and drank to the fill 
all these things i carry now
in this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now 

try to hold the world there sinking, 
swimming in a paper cup 
try to own the one beneath the skin 
held up to the flame still singeing 
skin begins to draw and tuck 
never told there's not a chance to win 

what couldn't be, wouldn't be now 

(chorus) 

hold your hands up to the sky 
and try so hard to rise above 
but everything is beating down 


(chorus)
