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   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      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      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      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      I won't come down   The banner you?re waving   Is burning and red   You against the world   Diamonds and pearls   It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway      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
