Lyrics

Will you crash the engine of our ruin?
Who'll spill the flat cars of our shame?

I'm beat up tired from always doin'
What I shoulda done in the first place

You can call in sick, no need to fear the morning
You will drink by numbers, I will drink by faith
The stairs are crashin', so is all the danger
Shoulda took a breath, but i's too drunk to wait

Can you still prescribe
The remedies and lies
'Til we feel no pain?
'Til we all have risen.x2

Porchlights shattered, but the veins still glow here
Met you in a bar, out by the switchin' yard
My best attempts, can only knock you down here
You should wear this badge, or wear nothin' at all

Can we reconcile
The bottom of the pile
'Til the poison tastes good?
'Til we all have risen
'Til we all have risen

Can you help explain
The senseless and the vain
'Til the vial's empty?
Can you still prescribe
The remedies and lies
'Til we feel no pain?
'Til we all have risen.x4

Will you crash the engine of our ruin?
Will you give me up to feel no pain?
