Sweetness

from Centurion by Fortune and Glory

lyrics

Tonight, we'll make one more last ditch effort to define everything we are
Same time same place, to see your face when you find just what you left behind
In the name of this petty grudge you wore as proudly as a badge
You turned your back, ever the hack, and your whole life's been a lie

Prechorus:
You can't earn your stripes without ever having to fight

Chorus:
And as time passes by and you count all these ways
you've tried to destroy what you failed to create
and when it's all said and done, you will not hold us back
It's just a matter of time, cuz we know that you'll crack

And we know that you'll crack
The strain was always so much more, than you could ever bare
You'd make excuse, after excuse, yet never willing to own up
To your limitless shortcomings and your inflated ego
You failed this test, "i tried my best" is know excuse for mediocrity

Prechorus/Chorus

You say we burned this bridge while you hold the lit match
Gave it all that you had and couldn't leave a scratch

You couldn't leave a scratch

Chorus
