"Fought it through the teeth.." That's it, enjoy! Lyrics to Shamful Metaphors by Chevelle Fear It's all the same Should I evolve To tend to these sights Said out loud then said again If fate's so wrong You'll start to feel lightheaded By my admission, nothing grows Just a longer list of unsorted laws So why then Has all my life made no sound And are your eyes Closing even now My life made no sound I fear your eyes closing Revolting man This sacred chain Brought down to trial No better man could fail the way You needed all Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts The finest river, The ravens tend All along insisting We're worlds away So why then Has all my life made no sound And are your eyes Closing even now My life made no sound I fear your eyes closing Behold the lost Behold a Band-Aid Behold the lost Behold a Band-Aid These shameful metaphors Fought it through the teeth Shameful metaphors Biting at your heels Shameful metaphors Fought it cheek to cheek So why then Has all my life made no sound (These shameful metaphors) And are your eyes Closing even now My life made no sound (These shameful metaphors) I fear your eyes closing
