Bittersweet Lyrics by Fuel

Sunburn

1998

[Verse 1]
Seven sins of wantonness and
Everything that's good is gone
Sell it for the glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and
Twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
What couldn't be, wouldn't be now

[Chorus]
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

[Post-Chorus]
Bittersweet
Love this bittersweet

[Bridge]
Hold your hands up to the sky and try
So hard to rise above
But everything is beating down
Yeah

[Chorus]
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

[Chorus]
Swallowed the pill
And drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet
In this bittersweet
In this bittersweet, now
