The Last Ten Seconds Of Life – Fertile Steps lyrics

My life is proof purgatory is real
Pain is my brother
Temptation my sister
Married to Misery against my will
I tear open my chest
Let water collect
Roots grow
Crack bones
Fertile steps is my best bet to turn it all around

Relapse
Collapse
Relinquish
Rebuild

A slip of the tongue and it falls right out
Drags along the concrete
Red carpet to Hell on Earth
As the streets burn
On this Saturday night
Boiling over with anger
I scream

Honesty is honesty the foundation of respect
But none of you would know a thing about that
Integrity's exactly what you lack
We're not friends
We never were
We're worlds apart in how we act

The hand I've been dealt
I will play to the best of my ability
No one can bluff me into giving up
Can't stare me down
Won't ever phase me out
When I know all the tricks of the trade
Always one step ahead of the game
Because I am a repeat offender of the worst decisions in the world
Can't believe all the things they said would happen have
And I should know by now
That nothing good ever happens after midnight

Fertile steps

The hand I've been dealt
I will play to the best of my ability
No one can bluff me into giving up
Can't stare me down
Won't ever phase me out
When I know all the tricks of the trade
Always one step ahead of the game
Because I am a repeat offender of the worst decisions in the world
Can't believe all the things they said would happen have
And I should know by now
That nothing good ever happens after midnight

I will take back what they took from me
