As Paradise Falls Bats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spent my time in the shadows while you basked in the sun
No room in the limelight, your seconds are done
You said your piece while I held my tongue
But tonight we light the pyres for the fallen one
Understand your prey, else you will fade away
You've got two smiles
But only one resides above your waist

[Verse 2]
You sew your lies, it's part of your disguise
Should have seen this coming, shouldn't be a surprise
There's a differеnce between love and hatе
One you wanna f*ck, the other you would castrate
[Verse 3]
Are you following my every word?
In hope that you will find a connection
Are you reading through the pages in a cold sweat?
Hoping you won't find your name

[Bridge]
(It's written here I swear)
Read between the lines and you will find a hair (It's written here I swear)
Not so subtle, that shit's just not my strong suit

I was there as the curtains opened
And I will be there for the close

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
For all you have said, unlucky at best
Can't have it all, karma is just such a bitch
You should have checked that tone
Obvious that you were born with a silver spoon
Lodged deep in your throat

[Refrain]
I spent my time in the shadows while you basked in the sun
No room in the limelight, your seconds are done
You said your piece while I held my tongue
But tonight we light the pyres for the fallen one
[Outro]
This is a witch hunt
This is a witch hunt
This is a witch hunt
Execution taken public for a life that's a waste
