Tapestry Songtext
von Protest the Hero

And what a fucking waste of a day
We just lay around and waste away
′Cause when the sun goes down, it's battle time
We try to reach the bottom of that endless cup
Everybody′s getting older, but no one's growing up
As the weather's getting colder, the room starts heating up

Kids hair just keeps falling out
And Chris just keeps getting fatter
But from where I sit now on this rickety stool
None of that shit really matters
Because this is our first time
Palace on the swamp


Listen to me, for a nominal fee
You can have anything you want
What matters the most is that bad joke ghost
Circling your bloated corpse at the end of the hall
Never thought we′d play this straight
I′m so drunk I can't hear a thing
Pledge your allegiance to the fucking swamp thing
Drunk as hell, dumb as all get out
So pucker up those pretty lips of yours
And kiss my ass and shut your mouth

Sometimes a knife right through your heart
Is exactly what you need
Sometimes the things that you′re ashamed of
Make you who you're supposed to be

Listen to me, for a nominal fee
You can have anything you want
We′ll remain here
We'll remain here forever and always
What matters the most is that bad joke ghost
Circling your bloated corpse at the end of the hall
We′ll remain here
We'll remain here forever

Like a million other soldiers on a thousand other battlefields
We wait, wait for the dawn
Like a million other soldiers, yes, we wait
This is our first time
Palace on the swamp
This is our first time
