Bittersweet Lyrics

seven sins of wantonness
and everything that's good is gone
sell it all for glory from the peers
silicone priestess
scratch the back and
twist the knife to bone
kick against the pricks and
scrape the shins
i'm the enemy in the enemies now

chorus:
swallowed the pill
and drank to the fill
all these things i carry now
in this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

try to hold the world there sinking,
swimming in a paper cup
try to own the one beneath the skin
held up to the flame still singeing
skin begins to draw and tuck
never told there's not a chance to win

what couldn't be, wouldn't be now

(chorus)

hold your hands up to the sky
and try so hard to rise above
but everything is beating down


(chorus)
