A song about not taking gifts for granted. In any sense, great or small.
lyrics
There is blood under my nails,
Seems this fight for Heaven's staged in Hell.
But you fools,
Look what we've been given!
Oh, you fools,
Don't leave it all behind!
To many sleepless nights
Have left bruises on my eyes,
But I'm no fool:
I still see what I've been missin'
Well, I'm no fool,
But I'm slipping past the line.
We'll pick it up where we left off;
We can't give up cause we've been thrown off.
You've got it in you like we all do.
Oh you fool,
Don't you see what you've been given?
There may be poison on our tongues
And dust is filling up our lungs,
But we're not fools:
We will take what we've been given.
But we're not fools,
We will take what we were born with.
We were born for this.

The rawness and realness of this album, in combination with the genius lyrics blows my mind. I've been listening to it on repeat since I found it so I'd say it's pretty rad. Check it out ^^ Morgen Star
