Dying Breed

from I, Imperfect by New Miseries

	/

lyrics

Romantic, what is it but a dying breed?
In a cheap life clouded by
Such worthless wants and needs

I won’t pretend

My eyes stay shut
Hands tied
Our throats cut

Every ship that I once sailed is sinking fast
Weighted by the notion that everything would somehow last
Enamored with the fact that I’ll just never be enough
The lights go out, I drown in doubt
I’m signing off on love

To lose my life- a minor fee
When all I am is at war with me

Every ship that I once sailed is sinking fast
Weighted by the notion that everything would somehow last
Enamored with the fact that I’ll just never be enough
The lights go out, I drown in doubt
I’m signing off on love

A gift into ungiving hands
What is left here for me?
I’m broke on sympathy
No arms left to hold me

These eyes weigh heavy
Sickened by the guilt of greed
When intentions are wrought with lust
It’s time I plant this seed

A gift into ungiving hands
What is left here for me?
I’m broke on sympathy
No arms left to hold me

No hope in me.
