Born to Die Lyrics by The Holy Knives

2021

Walking through the city streets, city lights
I see your eyes in the walls
You’re calling my name
Through gunshots and fire alarms
I’ve been running away from this problem
I can’t outrun your glaring eyeballs
Like TJ Eckleburg you’re watching over me
With the neon lights on and the steam vents
Breathing through the cement
I’m searching for the signs everywhere but I can’t see them
And I don’t like where this is going
I don’t like where this is going
I don’t like where this is going but I’m on my way
Everything in this city is breaking down
The walls are crumbling all around me
The sins stack up and keep compounding its confounding how you haven’t found me out
I could run but I don’t know where
It’s easier when you just don’t care
You can only die once, and we’re already there
There’s nowhere left for us to hide
The end is coming on so enjoy the ride
It feels so wrong but I know it’s right
It’s the sweet truth baby, we were only born to die
Gotta get to where we’re going
But the doors are always closing
Is your heart a cage
Or is it a Venus flytrap honey
Being right just gets so lonely
You’ve been such a ghost it haunts me
If I wonder why for one more night oh baby you’ll disown me
I don’t know your mind I can’t open it up it’s like a bank vault
Darkness bank and trust
I’ve been digging up the courage to say
Nothing feels close to ok
Racing through regret’s little speedway
There’s nowhere left for us to hide
The end is coming on so enjoy the ride
It feels so wrong but I know it’s right
It’s the sweet truth baby, we were only born to die
Only born to die
But that’s alright
But that’s alright
Cuz we can run and try to hide
But the end is coming on and I enjoyed the ride
And it feels so wrong but I know it’s right
It’s the sweet truth baby, we were only born to die
