[Verse 1]
One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself
Move on to someone else
Your self-liberation will leave this behind
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
You'll make it better, shake it off
It never mattered anyway

[Chorus]
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

[Verse 2]
The banner you're waving is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn
Your own liberation will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind
Don't make it better, break it 'cause
It never mattered anyway
[Chorus]
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

[Bridge]
I... won't... calm... down...
The banner you're waving
Is burning and red
You against the world, diamonds and pearls
It never mattered, mattered, mattered
Anyway

[Chorus]
If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
