Alter Der Ruine Brute lyrics

With the work lights, I can't see 'em
Down by the river I can hear them screaming

"Oh, god's gold turned to ash, whoever saw that one comin?"

There's been worse nights
At least there's fireflies
And this love of the worst kind
Got it so bad I can't get to sleep at night

So I fill up my pockets
Full up with matches
To burn off questions and push through the hours

(chorus)
Never never knew what to expect
If it rains, it's swell
Apex brute you've fallen down

And hey, wear those crimes well

And hey, gnash your teeth right
You might not have shells to sell, but maybe some pearls to shine

To test the design for imperfections
Spat a few sparks at a new complexion
Made it too hot to see
(I) Want to join the two souls, drunk and fishing
Smashed on the rocks to keep from drifting
Because they have reasons I don't want to understand.

You were stronger than all oceans
Able to hold back the seasons
They never cried, never complained, just let you slip out of sight.
You didn't get it
You didn't like it
Someone stole you in the middle of the night
You didn't break them, didn't clean them, just kept them quiet in the back of your mind.
