Avarice Lyrics by Brooklyn Martin

Playing with Fire

2019

They cut the tree down, the demons in this town
They threw the branches to the fire, oh
We turned to ashes, and we were scattered
All of those mouths, they have expired
We won't stand, we won't burn down
There's nothing left to be found
And each cheap shot was like an axe
You've lit the whole world with a match
So, thank you, thank you
For all that you've done
Cause in the war, nobody won
Nobody won
The fruit is rotting, and we've forgotten
And now she sits all alone, oh
You spit on the contract
Throwing knives at eachother's back
Igniting all we've ever known
We won't stand, we won't burn down
There's nothing left to be found
And each cheap shot was like an axe
You've lit the whole world with a match
So, thank you, thank you
For all that you've done
Cause in the war, nobody won
Nobody won
You never even tried to cover the children's eyes
They watched as you seared each other
And recruited them as your spies
We won't stand, we won't burn down
There's nothing left to be found
And each cheap shot was like an axe
You've lit the whole world with a match
So, thank you, thank you
For all that you've done
Cause in the war, nobody won
Nobody won
We won't stand, we won't burn down
There's nothing left to be found
And each cheap shot was like an axe
You've built your home on a lit match
So, thank you, thank you
For all that you've done
Cause in the war, nobody won
Nobody won
Oh
