Lyrics

[Intro] The scent of sulfur is strong The matches are gone And I'm watching bad books burning The scent of sulfur is strong The matches are gone And I'm watching bad books burning [Verse 1] The scent of sulfur is strong The matches are gone And I'm watching bad books burning And how could it be that The people they read And don't remember anything? Tear off the pieces Of words in this book So I can restore clear vision I tried lies (they cripple crowded rooms and) Lies take way too much time to climb a mountain I hope that you know that I cried 'til I fell asleep It was the best thing By design, you're dragging, awake dreaming And I'll make it seem we're draggin' We're draggin' all the way home [Verse 2] Now a fool-hearted pawn The insane are gone And I'll release all your patience Stop this bus without breaks The rest will be cake As long as we just continue Be alone, I'll just be Alone I'll find out What's wrong with this situation [Verse 3] The scent of sulfur is strong The matches are gone And I'm watching bad books burning The scent of sulfur is strong The matches are gone And I'm watching bad books burning I ripped the jaw of the lion's mouth Beside the flock of foolish sheep Where I will stop with naked feet I hope that you know that I cried 'til I fell asleep It was the best thing And by design, you're dragging, awake dreaming And I'll make it seem we're draggin' We're draggin' all the way home And put billboards up Spread this noose And rip people from their caves And show them something real I tried lies (they cripple crowded rooms) Lies take way too much time to climb a mountain [Outro] Fed up too many times and the plate is still full Scents and depictions of wise men and fools Nothing but truthfulness and nothing but lies In between martyrs for gold coins and glass Picture me first and then picture me last Not enough smooth stones to go around here Too many rough roads and painted in fear And don't forget, please, the steps I have taken To get you as far as to not be awakened In my own mouth In my own mouth In my own mouth In my own mouth In my own mouth
