Defeater - Desperate Lyrics






Every day and night
We're laid out and desperate
Every day and night
We're bloodied and broken
Every day and night
Every day and night

He sits and waits at the bar
He scans the room for a mark and puts the bodies to work
(We're laid out)
Raises the glass to his lips
Drinks and tries to forget the bodies washing ashore
(We're desperate)
Long for the taste and the sting
The joy and pain that it brings to help quiet the nerves
Came back home with a curse
(We're laid out)
The bend, guilt and the weight
The bane of blood in his veins
A rotting gut full of hurt
"I'll take the blame I deserve
And let the cold world do its worst"

"We try to hide from death
But it keeps calling us in"
Trialed, empty, erased
He wears the years on his face
Thumbs a coin in his palm
"One more for luck, then I'm gone"
Try to hide from death
It keeps calling us in
I'll take the blame I deserve
And let the cold world

Every day and night
We're laid out and desperate
Every day and night
We're bloodied and broken
Every day and night
Every day and night

    Hmm deep ....hmm good . This has a feel I can't pin it .. I had to listen to it twice to decide what I felt here .. first it was a dark sadness then a dark positive , on a level of both now ..dunno... I like this .

  2. S.... B....

    love this song but once again fuck Will Yip for ruining the vocals

  3. S.... J....

    When you can't hear a guy who is actually screaming that's not good.

  4. E.... S....

    Turn up the volume on his voice it’s sounds like it’s down on the volume to listen o him

    E.... S....

    It meant to be like that , of in the distance bro

  5. D.... B....

  6. T.... R....

    good that we have a lyric video, vocals are quiet af again :\
    Song's otherwise pretty good :)

    T.... R....

    @Scott Bryant yep 100% botched it man.

    T.... R....

    Scott Bryant he did it with Circa Survive new album as well. Shame really his production is great but when he mixes the vocals they suck really really badly.

    T.... R....

    @Cj Doyle the spoken word/clean vocals on La Disputes Panorama suffers from the same. Yip produced that album also.

    T.... R....

    Dont know , it's like it's supposed to have that distant background eco effect in the vocals on this song.. I actually like it that way.. it's more dramatic..

    T.... R....

    Ok the vocals are the same in the other songs on the album too lol... must be the production

  7. k.... M....

    Wow and in NZ here

  8. R.... A....
