Nailbiter Lyrics by Tanuki

The Fire The Fear The Fall

2018

WE WORE THE CROWN
The ones who entrusted the torch to us
Could not foresee the way
You selfishly pretended our hand in this
Did not amount to anything
WE MOVE FOR NONE
We were larger than life
But only when we stood as one
WERE IT NOT FOR THIS
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE TURNED SO TRAITOROUS

I never thought that you would sink so low
SINK SO LOW
You turned your back on us
The moment you sold your soul
YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL

Time has only left you ravenous
You're not the one I remember
You lost yourself in decadence
It's just a shame you surrendered us

JUST SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THE SALT
Have you tasted the finer things in life at all
WAS IT WORTH YOUR SPIN
YOUR DIGNITY
I assure you it isn't
THE CALL WASN'T YOURS TO MAKE
The legacy wasn't yours to take
THE PRINCE OF THIEVES, THE BANDIT KING
YOU SHOWED US YOUR HAND
WHEN YOU REACHED FOR THE RING

If they only knew
What kind of monster they made of you
A sacred art was shamelessly abused
Go, take what you want
The damage is already done
I don't have the energy to fight this one

I never thought that you would sink so low
SINK SO LOW
You turned your back on us
The moment you sold your soul
YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL
I can't believe that you would fall so far
FALL SO FAR
The man I knew wouldn't bear such a hollow heart
SUCH A HOLLOW HEART

Time has only left you ravenous
You're not the one I remember
You lost yourself in decadence
It's just a shame you surrendered us
