lyrics

Your city is a vampire
It runs on blood and emotion
And I'd have torn it all apart with my bare jaws
Just to find my place in it.

But they had bigger plans for you
And you had
Bigger plans for the city

The city's heaped the slurry on our homes
Though it swore to keep us safe
And today is your birthday my dear
And there will be hell to pay.

And tonight, we will place candles
In the hopes that the disaffected souls
Who left would come back and’ve loved
What we did with the place
And have we ever emptied out all those ash trays?
And have we gotten to cementing our walls
With goals we achieved instead of
Dreams we smothered in our froth and ignorance?

Let the saddest have at it.
It's your birthday.

We destroy the ones and pile on the corpses.
