This song will play a role in the IRIS story (just not the way you expect). This song also is talking about domestic families and how they can be violent.
[Verse 1]
Inside the barricade, bunkers up with disarray
This family's decayed (Get out, get out)
A father who's betrayed everyone and everything
I'll give up anything to (Get out, get out)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't cry anymore up here
Just tell me where I need to fall
It's clear that the bottle is full, and I'm only half clear
To land in the thorns below
I've given up hope
[Chorus]
The damage is critical, I'm close to the pinnacle
And we'll never make it out alive
Rock bottom, slowly forgotten in the fire
And we'll never make it out alive
[Post-Chorus]
We'll never make it out alive
[Verse 2]
(Inside this beast is another gracious plead)
Stop throwing bottles at the wall
My father shot barrels in her eyes
She bleeds, she cries, but she never really dies
My mother threw blades right into his chest
Everybody bleeds to this chorus of disease
[Pre-Chorus]
These broken eggshells have me up high
So I can crash below
I've given up hope
[Chorus]
The damage is critical, I'm close to the pinnacle
And we'll never make it out alive
Rock bottom, slowly forgotten in the fire
And we'll never make it out alive
So let them raise hell in the home of a dog doing time
And we'll never make peace with the light
Inclined to the shadows, breaking out the jenever
And we'll never make it out here alive
[Bridge]
Your sight's sealed on your target
But where's the target without ammo to fight?
Your obsession to claim the throne?
But look around because you'll do it alone
The stainless steel, take it down to the ground
Show the flames
(The stainless steel, take it down to the ground)
(Show the flames)
This heart is real, take it down if you try
I know your name
(I'll make you wish you wanted the truth from me)
I will be fine when you don't deny
(I caught your eye, I am gold in disguise)
And I will be fine when you don't tell your lies
(You can't defy, and as much as you try)
I will be fine when you don't deny
(I caught your eye, I am gold in disguise)
And I will be fine when you don't tell your lies
[Chorus]
The damage is critical, I'm close to the pinnacle
And we'll never make it out alive
Rock bottom, slowly forgotten in the fire
And we'll never make it out alive
So let them raise hell in the home of a dog doing time
And we'll never make peace with the light
Inclined to the shadows, breaking out the jenever
And we'll never make it out here alive
[Outro]
We'll never make it out alive
We'll never make it out alive
