Dead Poetic Vices lyrics

Feeling cold, feeling empty. Set the stage, where you want me.
And this crowd right before me doesnât care that Iâm dying.
And the audience stands with their eyes fixed on the preconceived version of me.
Iâm so betrayed by your hopes, but I will not hide myself for your peace of mind.
Oh, but Child. Iâve got Vices like any other man.
Raise a boy to a cynic. Take his love, and then let it turn into something passionate.
Something sick, something rabid.
And I vent to keep myself from caving. I donât hate you, I just hate where Iâm heading.
Iâm left here asking, when did I trade in my bleeding heart for a selfish win?
Oh, but Mother. Iâve got Vices like any other man.
Vices that youâre not used to. Vices thatâll make you think less of me.
Leave me numb. Leave me jaded. Sheâs a dream, I just play dead.
Iâve been blessed, Iâve been hated. Sheâs the constant, and Iâm her addict.
Sheâs the only peace in this world, uneasy.
While I bite my tongue to keep from breaking the heart that Iâve spent my whole life seeking.
The only heart Iâve ever needed.
Oh, but Lover. Iâve got Vices like any other man.
Vices that youâre not used to. Vices thatâll make you think...
Oh, but Lover. Iâve got Vices like any other man.
Vices that youâre not used to. Vices thatâll make you think less of me. Less of me.
Feeling cold, feeling empty. I am low, unworthy.
Bleed the God. Bleed the blessing. Like a vulture feasting.
Iâll exist as if I donât feel conviction of my ignorance to my perfect prison.
But I feel the stabs on my wrists and ankles every time I try...
To forget you. To forget you.
Oh, but Jesus. Iâve got Vices like any other man.
Vices that youâre so used to. Vices that wonât make you think less of me.
