Children of Bodom – Platitudes and Barren Words
Platitudes and Barren Words [Verse 1] I'm broken, you’re bent I laugh while you repent Threw punches never left a dent Kick and scream you can feed the flame Put out the fire it's all the same Just either clock out or stake your claim [Chorus] Come on, just lay it on the line You're running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes ’cause your words are wearin' thin [Verse 2] I rush you stall Here we go you're on a roll Driving me right up the wall Emotions left ripped at the seams The game is over or so it seems But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines [Chorus] Come on, just lay it on the line Cut me a break don't take your time I'm up for laying down the swords Just no more platitudes or barren words [Post-Chorus] I'm filled to the brim What’s one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin? [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Come on, just lay it on the line You’re running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes 'cause your words are wearin’ thin [Post-Chorus] I'm filled to the brim What's one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin? |
