Vylet Pony - Survivor​'​s Guilt

There's something in the water
There's something in the water
There's something in the water
There's something in the water

Are you so secure in being everything you know?
Don't you fear that god is watching?
Am I really worthy to be chasing any dream?
When I'll always be my worst mistakes

"Smile for the cameras (smile for the cameras)
Aren't you contented in attention?"
"Everyone loves you (everyone loves you)"
Yet they've never seen my fangs

—

Could you still love me?
They sic me through the curtain
How did I make it?
How did I make it?
How did I make it out alive?

Driven by self preservation
When I could be your prey
How am I different?
How am I different?
Different from the wounds I pried

'Cuz saying anything is trying too hard
But silence is a bastard
Out on the edge of the knife, oh my!
Letting the audience fester

Can anybody be a saint these days?
Each breath congeals and rasters
Out on the edge of my mind, oh my!
Become undone in ashes

[Wolf howls]

Moving in slow motion 'cuz there is no other way
Any sudden move could scatter them
Lonely are the stars void of silent observers
Bursting into dust and questions

"Aren't you happy? (aren't you happy?)
They all look up at you"
"Shining star girl (shining star girl)"
Remove this fowl her foul coop

—

Could I lay right down?
At the crossing of penance
Let it come over
Let it come over
Let it come all over me

Some part of this useless meat
Must satisfy your mercy
Take whatever pleases
Take whatever pleases
But you won't find a purity

—

'Cuz saying anything is trying too hard
But silence is a bastard
Out on the edge of the knife, oh my!
Letting the audience fester

Can anybody be a saint these days?
Each breath congeals and rasters
Out on the edge of my mind, oh my!
Become undone in ashes

—

It's just too much to come clean
Too little to just breathe
"I forgive you, I forgive you"
But I still can't sleep
