Red Petals Fall Lyrics

Long knives cut deep

The elders sleep

Red petals will fall around us

Heart attacks and traffic lights

Exit signs and plagues and blights

There's a war going on, going on inside us

One day up another down

Chaos turmoil all around

How many times will we rebound?

Again, and again and again and again

Long knives cut deep

The elders sleep

Red petals will fall around us

Crypto-bomb going tic tic toc

Writing novellas when I'm on the clock

Anything that we can do to ease those management blues

War and peace and fruit and flowers

Time destroys what we don't devour

Anything that we can do to calm each other's abuse

Long knives cut deep

The elders sleep

Red petals will fall around us

There came a war, and we went underground

We found our broken hearts in the lost and found

I opened my mouth and wailed a wicked sound so ghostly

I remember in December when

The wind was cold, but we made the rent

Our hearts were on fire, but our souls were at the end, so costly

Long knives cut deep

The elders sleep

Red petals will fall around us

We did the dance of circumstance

The prophet said that it was our last chance

He built a bridge but he got the bends

His actions offended his last true friends

Now he's beaten down and he's at the end

He told them off and he clicked send

Oh no

Hell of a way to go out

Hell of a way to go out

Hell of a way to go out

Hell of a way to go out

Oh no

Hell of a way to go out

Hell of a way to go out

Hell of a way to go out

Oh no
