LYRICS

 

 

 

White Collar Boxer

So many
Armed with an ambitious heart
Anchored to a canyon by self defeat
So many
With nothing to lose but chains
And the architect of deception
So content
with the fucking they get
For the fucking they got

Every smile is an adoption
That promenades as progress
Every heart a homicide
That disguises stability for passion
Masquerades treadmills as mountains
Every smile is an adoption
Every heart a homicide 
 
So many
Armed with an ambitious heart
Anchored to a canyon by self defeat
So many
With nothing to lose but chains
And the architect of deception
 
Every smile is an adoption
That promenades as progress
Every heart a homicide
That disguises stability for passion
Masquerades treadmills as mountains
Every smile is an adoption
Every heart a homicide 
 
 
What was once a gateway drug
Is now a social disease
What was once a simple failure
Is now a war crime
 
The social body count
Washes up the street
Like spent needles on a dirty beach
 
So many casualties of hope (x3)
So many-So many

Every smile is an adoption
Every heart-a homicide
Masquerades treadmills as mountains
Disguises stability
For passion
 
So many
Drunk on their feet
doped in a death sleep
So many Dead but alive
So many making love in the dark
So many-casualties of hope
 
So many
So many
(So be it).
