In a thousand days and its getting overexposed

You keep runnin away dont matter how fast or long you always wind up there

So how the fuck do I dream at night?
With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty tide
Filth pig, filth pig
He sleeps with both eyes open
Filth pig, filth pig
He sleeps all right because hes a
Filth pig
