  • Close the curtains, cash me in
    Gather photographs of the devil you let in
    Digging deep inside my soul
    I don't know where to turn everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
    Do I run, or lay down and die?
    Is it time to close my eyes?
    Keep me numb, I'll follow direction
    A pawn to pass around and be bled until I'm dry
    It's hard to see what's underneath, is it me?
    Where do I turn?
    Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
    Do I run, or lay down and die?
    Is it time to close my eyes?
    For so long all I've known, all I've seen's green lights
    Fuck your greed, all I need's somewhere to catch my breath, rest my head, and ease my mind
    I've been holding on but my grip's not what it used to be
    I'm much older, I'm bitter, I'm jaded I'm lost
    Can somebody give me a sign?
    Where do I turn?
    Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
    Do I run, or lay down and die?
    Is it time to close my eyes? Writer/s: Ben Bruce, Danny Worsnop
