Admission by The Arrogant Afterglow Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Line up at the gate to buy a ticket, and I might just let you in
Today the price of your admission's not worth a noble cent
Flush the coffers for the tag lines torn apart inch by inch
Didn’t you know that living on a fault line tends to have its risks

[Chorus]

(So how? Tell me now!)
How has your fortune been found?
(And I, yes I)
So glad and glamorous and proud
(Burn it down! Burn it down! )
I let my broken house burn down
(Run now! Skip town!)
Took a midnight train and bowed out

[Verse 2]

A sleight of hand, a bullet-dodging
Ears ringing, my heart is throbbing
A new illusion to perfect
Back away and take the shot
Percussive beats inside this chest
Remind me why I made this mess
This is a simple threat
Back away and take the shot
[Chorus]

(So how? Tell me now!)
How has your fortune been found?
(And I, yes I)
So glad and glamorous and proud
(Burn it down! Burn it down! )
I let my broken house burn down
(Run now! Skip town!)
Took a midnight train and bowed out

[Interlude 1]

So what's the cost of living on this violent edge?
Bending like a branch in a willing wind
I can't see through your violet scope
No realities make sense enough to make it so

[Interlude 2]

You stepped into the room wearing a subtle shade, it suits you
The light, it kissed your placid face the way I know I used to
The devil drew his gun and taught you where to point it, didn’t he?
Double down and place your bets before you end up dead

[Chorus]
(So how? Tell me now!)
How has your fortune been found?
(And I, yes I)
So glad and glamorous and proud
(Burn it down! Burn it down! )
I let my broken house burn down
(Run now! Skip town!)
Took a midnight train and bowed out
