salvation

we're the young ones, the unloved ones
wide eyed and guilty
we're not as we appear
look and you will find
everything to lose, nothing to fear

our stomachs are growling
and we'll soon turn on you
our faces are weathered
from singing the blues

raised on morals long since lost
never looking back on those we've crossed
sleeping with demons night after night
too tired and weary to put up a fight

i ask no forgiveness
i need no salvation

poison

raise our glasses
raise our hopes
three cheers to us
propose a toast
say all the things we don't mean
forget all the things that come between

fade to black
take it all back
confess my sins
do it again

empty our glasses
lose our hopes
turn our backs
pull the ropes
scream and scream all in vain
poison myself to forget the pain

confess my sins
do it again
