Drowning In A Burning World Lyrics


Better Lovers Drowning In A Burning World

[Refrain]
And nobody tries
For those left behind
For they're all just weak and pacified

[Verse 1]
Look at us forgotten
Trained to bide our time
Look at us we're rotten
Festering inside (Festering inside)
[Pre-Chorus]
Poverty, like an old friend
Carrot stays dangling
Return to beginning as end
Came for nothing

[Chorus]
Screaming in the loudest room
Mother earth, a barren womb
Your safe place becomes a tomb
We're all pigs before the pearls
Drowning in a burning world
Came for nothing

[Verse 2]
You, marionette
Dance for me for a dime
You're never gonna get
Paid for all this crime
You, marionette
Dance for me for a dime
You're never gonna get
Paid for all this crime

[Pre-Chorus]
Poverty, like an old friend
Carrot stays dangling
Return to beginning as end
Came for nothing
[Chorus]
Screaming in the loudest room
Mother earth, a barren womb
Your safe place becomes a tomb
We're all pigs before the pearls
Drowning in a burning world
Came for nothing

[Refrain]
And nobody tries
No, nobody tries
For those left behind
For they're all just weak and pacified

[Bridge]
Open me up, open me up
Hope is what you won't find
Open me up, open me up
Hope is what you won't find
Once underground we'll be purified
Once underground we'll be purified

[Outro]
We're all pigs before the pearls
Drowning in a burning world now
