Payback Lyrics by Girth

The Sweetness of Rejection

0

In the sky I see
The burning cosmic dream
Of life and death and everything that's in between
The sun that’s burning down
Scorching the wounded ground
Forcing us all to live our lives firmly upon our knees

We are the terminal disease
Once full of life, now dying
How did this all come to be?
We point the finger at ourselves

This is the real life
Played back in real time
How we have mutilated our mother
One step at a time
We tried to hide it
With all the face lifts
Scorching this world until there's nothing
And her womb is cold

We are the terminal disease
Once full of life, now dying
How did this all come to be?
We point the finger at ourselves

Point the finger at ourselves

It's time for payback
Can’t take back
All the years when no one really cared
It's like a bad itch and now it's time to scratch it
And end the festering

Before there's nothing left
(Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left)
Before there's nothing left
(Nothing left, nothing left, nothing left)
There's nothing left for you anymore
It's been raped all away and now it's gone
There’s nothing left for you
Nothing left

Who places blame, point your finger at me
Who places blame, point their finger at you
Who places blame, point your finger at me
Point your finger at yourself

It’s time for payback
We can't take back
All the years when no one really cared
It’s like a bad itch and now it's time to scratch it
And end the festering

Before there's nothing left
That's right, there’s nothing left
There's nothing left for you anymore
It's been raped all away and now it's gone
There's nothing left for you
Nothing left
