To The Nines Lyrics - Singles - Only Crime

Once upon a time I believed I could change the world but I was wrong 

Finding solace in the vitriol and the anti-social context for so long 

Cursed to keep gazing backward 

And never never look ahead 

A pitchfork of a destination 

Submerged in a sea of red 

These nightmares never go away 

Still bound by chains of self decay 

To simply saturate and bleed 

Out the seeds of a new address 

We're charged with the destruction of those static molds 

We choose to build a union from the old 

I feel my heart grow cold 

To my surprise I fatalize 

And fail to soil the merchandise 

We've swept away all the faintest hooks 

From the grasp of tomorrows fold 

Outside your windows down your lonely broken streets 

Cross the paths with the sterile minions of anachronistic beats 

So cleanse my mind of discontent 

Declare all the lines as heaven sent 

Weeding out the sickness I can feel 

Tell me all night how it can't be real 

Spend all night caring only for the words 

Blame it on the new kids chewing on their nerves 

Forget about the piss drunks putting out the fires 

Sucking on the nacro sending out the wires 

Some thing I won't forget 

Cry - it's over 

Die - it's over 

Flames reach out and lick my face 

I'm falling some days are grace 

Cry out steal signs 

Burning they take it to the nines
