No Substitute For Victory

lyrics

Show me love with an iron fist!
Puts you to bed with a poison kiss
Sweating blood to repent for my awful sins
Enamored with this hell I am living in
But this is all that I've ever known
Discomfort and poverty have become my home
Drop to my knees without thinking twice
Morbidly excited to be your sacrifice
A pain that feels too real
A pain that everyone feels
All this shit makes no sense despite everything I'm told
A heart like mine goes cold
Thrown into this naked void and expected to call it my home
The wayward child's gone astray
From the anguish of our decay
Beaten by laws that we all obey
Before the end we gotta run away
Because this is all that we've ever known
Drop to our knees without thinking twice
Morbidly excited to be your sacrifice
A pain that feels too real
A pain that everyone feels
All this shit makes no sense despite everything I'm told
A heart like mine goes cold
Thrown into this naked void and expected to call it my home
Boob jobs, HDTVs
There ain't no substitute for victory
Rape and pillage the lands they've seized
There ain't no substitute for victory
Religious hymns and eulogies
There ain't no substitute for victory
Hands up! Police say freeze
There ain't no substitute for victory
(Anyway, I'll call your sadness
Anyway, I'll raise you madness)
