Collapsible lungs
Bendable fingers
Removable teeth
But the pain still lingers
It feels like we weren't made long for this world.
Pluckable eyes
Breakable jaws
If we look past the lies
We know it's because
We know we weren't made long for this world
Carve up your pound of flesh
Take from me my last breath
Cause I'm a stitched up limping mess
And only you can cure my death
Inflatable pride
Debatable truth
Preferable lies
Reimbursable youth
I know I'm not made long for this world.
Surrendered pride
Rendered truth
We rended light
Cause the darkness is cool
I know you weren't long for this world
I Carved up your pound of flesh
Stole from you your last breath
You were a limping bleeding mess
And you carried off my death
The transaction was made
But no one but me
Could say fair trade
And walk away ungrieved
I don't deserve to be long for his world
I don't deserve to be long for his world
