Lyrics
been alone now for a while
thinking about this life we built
find it hard to crack a smile
focusing on my shame and guilt
I turned our castle into a cheap motel
filled with rats and roaches and razor blades and ne’er-do-wells
raise a glass and drink to life and your good health
every time repeat the line that I tell myself
hold your head up high
if the answer's nay or aye
situation's not so dire
if you keep your hands out of the fire
I've been running for far too long
hiding from what we both know is the truth
doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong
discard that illusion along with our youth
I turned our bridges into concrete walls
topped with guards and spires and razer wire
you're sure to fall
raise a glass and drink to death and to those we've lost
every time repeat the line no matter what the cost
hold your head up high
knowing everything that lives is sure to die
but destruction breeds creation and we're the same star stuff
if that is all there is then let it be enough
hold your head up high
if the answer's nay or aye
situation's not so dire
if you keep your hands out of the fire
