Can’t Cheat Death Lyrics by The Ballroom Thieves

Paper Crown - EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Hands to your hymnals, Hell's at the door
It bellows and it growls and it roars
I was snared by a sickness, some fever in my lungs
Wore my language like an amaranth and brand on my tongue (Ah)
[Verse 2]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I spilled blood in the water, then let the storm roll in
I put my hands in the fire, watched my welcome wear thin
Salt in my wounds and spit in my eye
I burned the path you walk on, and I let none survive
[Chorus]
We are painted with the fear that if
The sea recedes it never comes back
But there are two things I know for sure
I will be free, I will be free, I will be free
And you can't cheat death
Can't cheat death, can't cheat death, can't cheat death
[Verse 3]
Head full of poison, the devil in your heart
You're a dark toothed liar, and you're caught up in smoke
Pour acid in your glass, and I watch you choke
I rue the day I met you, and I curse the words you spoke
[Bridge]
I ain't your savior, I ain't your saint
I cut the rope you keep me on, and I dug up your grave
You're envious of ghosts and where their hands have been
You got no marrow in them bones, just trouble and sin
[Chorus]
We are painted with the fear that if
The sea recedes it never comes back
But there are two things I know for sure
I will be free, I will be free, I will be free
And you can't cheat death, can't cheat death
You can't cheat death, can't cheat death
You can't cheat death, can't cheat
Can't cheat death, can't cheat death
Can't cheat
