Nicholas Hureau V.V.S - Sage the Stage Lyrics

Hail the victorious dead is the song I used to sing
Whenever I'd remember you and all of the excuses your memory would bring
I try to think of what we had in common save the needle but I can't think of a damn thing
Be gone ye demons to eternal damnation
Long live the kings and queens
There's blood in the water
Creatures in the sea
What'd we ever do to make believe
It's been so long I believe
We hurt ourselves to feel and only smile when we bleed
There's blood in the water
Creatures in the sea
What'd we ever do to make believe
It's been so long I believe
We hurt ourselves to feel and only smile when we bleed
Miss east coast, ghost roast, brought me close and let herself in
I wrote this music the very night she overdosed and quit living
Death filled my house and lurked all the days following
I've cried over dead bodies just to hold on to something
A man I called crew left hanging dead and blue
Owed the wrong people too much, too soon and was way past due
I watched his soul leave the earth in the form of a white balloon
A needle in my arm I danced with ghosts and dead till morning
As addiction grew, who knew
Bloods in the water
Creatures in the sea
What'd we ever do to make believe
It's been so long I believe
We hurt ourselves to feel and only smile when we bleed
Moving forward is the only way from here
Sing a song, right a wrong, maybe even shed a happy tear
I've loved, I've lost, I've paid the cost and I'm not ashamed my dear
A farewell to arms and a grateful goodbye to all of them
With no fear
There's blood in the water
Creatures in the sea
What'd we ever do to make believe
It's been so long I believe
We hurt ourselves to feel and only smile when we bleed
There's blood in the water
Creatures in the sea
What'd we ever do to make believe
It's been so long I believe
We hurt ourselves to feel and only smile when we bleed
