If it starts to feel, then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
If it starts to sing, reach in remove the sirens
This respirator keeps a countdown to our cancellation
If it starts to bleed, do not adjust the contrast
Doctor, deliver us, heaven holds no truth
For dreamers like you and I
Remember the day they cut our thoughts
We learned to smile from our necks
This is the breech of etiquette
With wires jutting out from arms
I'll never look at you again
If it's only a mirror in the end
And if there's no one after us
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
I'll never look at you again
If it's, it's only, it's only, it's only a mirror
I'll never look at you again
It's only, it's only a mirror
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you again
We're guilty till we die, I'll never look at you till we die
Siphon the Ivory with the tusk, we're guilty till we die
We only bleed when the knives are drawn
Vultures pick the meat from the bones, we're guilty till we die
We only love when the camera's on
If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
If it starts to feel then we'll just shut it off again
We won't convince the jury, we're guilty till we die
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty till our hearts give in and pull us under
Do not adjust the contrast, my love, our days are numbered
We'll remain guilty till our hearts give in and pull us under
[Incomprehensible]
Till we die [Incomprehensible]
We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
We'll turn the lights out when we leave
We left our corpses on the beach
Untouched and slightly out of reach
We paint the walls with our dreams
Dream poacher, you list it in a hailstorm of flies,
the maggots sung under your pen in every word you wrote.
Bait for the crows, taunt the hungry when they call out for me,
Never learner, still running that broken mouth of ours over broken promises.
Masquerade with the walking dead, you don't look the same.
Abscess face with narcotic slouch, you weren't built this way.
They took dead aim; exposed evidence; they washed their hands of this ordeal.
Silenced your pleas; "Some can't be saved."
Bankrupt soul, you dove headfirst into a shallow grave
What drove you to this?
Now this guilt will plague my nights
Dream burner, I never said that you were a lost cause.
"Never better," still running away on a crooked path, as crooked as your spine.
Empty shell of someone I once knew, you don't speak the same.
Slipping back into familiar coma, you won't die in vain.
I'll carry your dead weight till I fall victim to my own vices.
Dead weight, I'll cart yours till I fall flat on my own face.
Still trying to kill all the ones you claimed left a hole in your perfect life.
still running way from the only arms who wanted you was one.
And you were the only good thing left in this good for nothing town.
Help me clean my filthy conscience, so I can get on with my pointless life.
Tell me, how many years have you felt so sick?
To the kids who care more about these songs
than the wars they've been fighting for so fucking long
There's something wrong with the soundwaves in the air, there's something wrong,
It's on the tip of your tongue and it's time you give a shit
We got the songs all wrong again (and we don't fit in)
we got the songs all wrong again (and nothing speaks to me like it did)
And I know you know, I know you know, I know you know I know you.
Tell me, how many years have you felt out of touch?
To all the kids who cared more when they were young
about the wars they've been fighting since before we were born
There's something wrong with the soundwaves in the air there's something wrong,
It's on the tip of your tongue and it's time you give a shit
We got the songs all wrong again (and we don't fit in)
We got the songs all wrong again (and nothing speaks to me like it did back then)
How many years has it been, since you lost the feeling?
Since you lost something to believe in? I need something to believe in,
We're so tired of playing dead, bring me all of the disillusioned dreamers
(How many years have you felt so sick, I ask)
All of the forward thinking allies
(How many years have you felt out of touch and old?)
All of the ones who feel outnumbered
(To all the kids who care more, care more, care more, care more)
I need new conspirators, bring me all of the new rule smashers
(How many years have you felt so sick, I ask)
All of the hungry innovators
(How many years have you felt out of touch and old?)
All of the fearless creators
(To all the kids who care more, care more, care more, care more)
In this house of suffering
I gotta let some joy in
I hear that freedom will win yeah
Oh where oh where can jah love be now
My dear, it's here in the underground
Inside the hearts of your own children
In this house of suffering
I spiritualogic grin, in
One way grace is my friend
To conquer doom and sin oh yeah
And all the nations lying
While all our people crying
And they stop at nothing!...nothing!...nothing!
In this house of suffering
Don't want but just one thing
Got to have my origin
The telephone swallowed the child.
This is the last time I say your name.
The crackle and hiss from the walls.
You smile like a catholic in heat.
Just don't forget what you've done.
Just don't forget.
This is the last time that I say your name.
Forget the fuck away from me.
I just can't leave this alone; meat for the wolves pulling flesh from the bone.
This is blood that I draw from a stone.
And a scar to remind me of where I was born.
This is what it takes to forgive myself for you.
Don't ask me what I am becoming.
Something that you cannot comprehend.
Completely unacceptable results.
Damaged and desperate.
I am crawling home.
And it feels like something is wrong
When I'm not tethered to this hotel bed
I do what I can to make sense of this mess that I made for myself, in my head.
One day at a time.
When I leave there will be no goodbyes, no explanations.
This is just something I need to do for now.
When I die there will be no funeral, make no arrangements.
What happens on the road will kill us all.
Don;t ask me what I am becoming, something that you cannot comprehend.
Completely unacceptable results.
Damaged and desperate,
I am crawling home.
You are the teeth and the lungs.
Biting back and breathing in.
Cracked like a frozen moon.
The heat lampseeps into the pores.
This is your interrogation your fingerprints betray your eyes.
Died on your honeymoon she made such a lovely bride.
Left the door unlocked for you.
The leeches took their turn.
Deny.
Your alibi was painted by a blind politician.
Inside your swollen eyes sleeps a genius buried by miscalculations.
You are the teeth and the lungs.
Biting back and breathing in.
Your love is homicide.
Your love is homicide.
You are the teeth and the lungs.
Biting back and breathing in.
The queen is beckoning, get on your knees and Pray for life.
You are the teeth and the lungs.
Biting back and breathing in.
Your love is homicide.
Your love is homicide.
You are the teeth and the lungs.
Biting back and breathing in.
The queen is beckoning, get on your knees and Pray for life.
You will pay the price.
Close your eyes and die.
As the moon waxed and waned,
He felt the depth of his love shoot right to the surface.
Overwhelmed by the once suppressed need to devour something whole.
The shapes began to shift and right before his eyes,
his angel became his meal.
Call off your hunt, that kill is mine.
I'm leaving town with the her blood on my breath,
Lord knows when we'll feed again.
I walked away with her hand on my chest,
Lord knows when we'll feed again.
Angel, keep your wings clean, and don't get near him if he isn't "Me"
Angel, until his eyes go red to blue, keep your thoughts as pure as gold,
Cuz he can read your mind and his head ain't right, no.
Before the fever leaves our home, play for his salvation.
He'll say he means no harm.
Eclipsed eternally now by the echoes of her final breath.
Roaming tormented from town to town to forever stalk the highway.
The shapes began to shift and right before my eyes, you became my meal.
We fall asleep on the runway
Underneath the neon crucifix
Where they left the light on for us tonight
Fed myself to the sickness, purge myself to the cure
We watch the nurses pace the cage
You and I, we're never gonna die
Never gonna die in the white lights
You and I are never gonna die
Servants suffocate the King
We've come to take what we don't need
And build a prison where cathedrals used to be
We burn every office
Zombies prowl through the school chanting
"This is ours to love and take apart at will"
Here we are right now, here we are right now
These wires, these woven webs
Conceal the blueprints from me, here we are right now
Sometimes we kill the lights, pretend that we survived
We're never gonna die, we're never gonna die
I see right through you
When you sing it back to me
I read that fine print
And I saw you staggering
Regurgitate the shit you find
In the dirty dreams of a rapist's mind
Congratulate the corpse you drag
Put the money in the body bag
Right in front of us
The stop and start machine
You've been singing with the liar's tongue
With every crippled word you said to me
With every fractured breath and broken glare
You were pawning off your babies' debt with a cold paycheck
Abandon what you built, repair your hope with guilt
There's nothing left here to suffocate
With razor wire arms you reach and miss the throat
There's nothing left to love about this city anymore
The politics and the hired whore
Now, save your breath
Now, save your breath
Did this to yourself
You can't repair the punctured lung
Secrets seep through the stress cracks
Shut your mouth,[Incomprehensible] shut your mouth
Shut your mouth
You did this to yourself
Now shut your mouth and pay the rent
Shut your mouth and pay the rent
You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
You say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
I see right through you when you sing it, when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
I see right through you when you sing it
Sing it back to me
Now, say it like your life depends
On believing in your own lie
Now, say it like your life depends
I'll open up my wrists to let you in and keep you where you belong.
Nail my hands into the oak if I can never touch your face again.
Cardiac paralysis.
I cannot breathe.
Swallow my tongue if I can't say the words that will save your life.
No matter what always remember you did this to me.
I'm left with when you turned and walked away.
No matter what always remember you did this to me.
You've driven me to this.
You've turned my heart jet black.
Reopen the wounds and let them drain.
Swing the sledge to the mainframe.
To the one that stopped my heart.
Shatter the mirror on the wall and turn me into beautiful broken pieces.
I am a slave to my own reflection.
Hollywood in a soft syringe push it in and make a star out of me.
Hollywood in a soft syringe and I'll forget who I am.
I wanna be your new big nothing, glowing on a silver screen.x3
I'd like to thank the academy.
And all my family and friends.
We'll make another masterpiece.
A monologue and a eulogy.
I couldn't have done this without you.
I couldn't have made it this far without you.
I forget who I am sometimes.
I forget my lines.
I forget who i am sometimes.
I forget my lines.
Hey you, young love
Don't let them cut out your tongue
Swallow the key to your heart
And smile through your teeth
Hey you, young love
Don't let them cut out your tongue
It's only over when we
Choose to forgive them
Give me your hand
When no one else understands
The day the hostages
Are making demands
We gave ourselves
When there was nobody else
We found what we were
Looking for in the summer
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
And if the sun comes up again
I'll be waiting for the others to come in
They'll never take us alive
And they can never take away
What keeps you safe
When you're afraid to lose it all
Just love and nothing more
Until we love nothing more
Until we love
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
And if the sun comes up again
I'll be waiting for the others to come in
They'll never take us alive
I never begged to be immune
To love a heart so out of tune
But I believed you
When you told me I was ruined
Hey you, young love
And all that's left of us
Hey you, young love
Hey you, young love
And all that's left of us
The air raids at night are keeping things serene
The president's men are closing in on me
And the crosshair grin you hold me in
Still does not propose an argument
Convincing me to shed the devil's clothes
Electrodes to spine, it's tonguing my wounds clean
That's when the nightmare stops, oh yeah
I had a dream, I had a dream it went
I shackled to the lover of another in a chapel so pristine
Well, Baptized at atheists, I never felt to clean
The more I hear doves cry, the less I want to fly
The more I hear them crying out
When does the seizure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the
Waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress, whoa, sweet distress
Your dress is bringing it all back to me
And we are closer than whores
Caught up in a roundabout in Hell
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one
You can play me out on the hotel floor
Twilight isn't in the dark on this one
You can play me out
The more I hear doves cry, the less I want to fly
The more I hear those doves crying
This is where the plot thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth
'Cause I'm begging for proof
This is where the plot thickens
Not behind the ribs but below the truth
You can use your sleuth
'Cause I'm begging for proof, begging for proof
When does the seizure end?
When does the cyanide kick in?
I'd like to hike you up over the
Waste of love and back again
Oh my mistress, whoa sweet distress
Your dress is bringing it all back to me
And we are closer than whores
Caught up in a roundabout
No need to run away
The pig was snuffed and laid
We saw this happening all on the front page
This is the last time we bet on landmines
We've got a lot riding on this one
So save your bullets for the call back
We've got a lot riding on this one
I've got such a filthy heart sometimes
When you take me to that place and I never wanna leave
In the middle of, of the night
When everyone is sound asleep, where will you be?
You'll be waiting with a gas mask
In the dark, I can't stop myself
She calls home when I'm not there
So I won't freeze
I need to learn how to breathe
When I'm inside you
Sever the ripcord, sever it
I drift away, I drift away
Further down inside it gets so fucking cold
I come to you to feel helpless
Further down you know it's hard to free myself and you
Just keep driving until it's over
Until they swallow every last drop of me and you
I need to learn how to breathe
I need to learn how to breathe
Further down, I reach inside
Further down, I can't hide
I tried to show you that there's
Nothing you can take away from me
Nothing you can take away from me
Kill me, you're such a beautiful liar
Take me to the place where I'm king
Nothing like the way that you wanted
I clutched the wheel, burned the trail in search of someone's master plan,
but I dragged myself into the ground in search of a fabled promised land,
this could be my destiny or the death of me, whatever answers first,
I could care less at this point, as long as my story gets told.
The empty dunes whispered certain doom and irrational fears
began to swallow my every thought and burn inside my ears.
It's louder than the bombs that scream in my dreams.
can my will alone erase the things I've become?
It's hard to see passed all my failures and loss
When I'm stuck on the path to self-destruction.
Back and forth across the plains, no chance of love, no sign of rain
You killed yourself to live, but your heart gave up before your body did.
Back and forth across the plains, a fractured heart no sign of rain.
Until my head caves in, I'll kill myself just trying...
I swallowed pill after pill with the blood of Christ, cuz heaven needed me,
but when I got there, all the beer was gone and the angels clipped their wings.
I crashed face-first into a stubborn mule to get my point across
then I woke up with shards of glass in my eye and seven years bad luck.
I'm confessing, this burden of free will is a blessing.
So I'll be the judge, the jury, and the executioner.
The faulty noose at the gallows pole.
Back and forth across the plains, no chance of love, no sign of rain
You killed yourself to live, but your heart gave up before your body did.
Back and forth across the plains, a fractured heart, no sign of rain.
Until my head caves in, I'll kill myself just trying to live
Back and forth across the plains, no chance of love, no sign of rain
You killed yourself to live, but your heart gave up before your body did.
Back and forth across the plains, a fractured heart, no sign of rain.
Until my head caves in, I'll kill myself just trying to love
Cast me to Hell,
I do not seek redemption.
Cast me to hell,
I was born to be a martyr.
Cast me to Hell,
I do no seek redemption.
Cast me to Hell,
I was led into temptation by a man just like you.
Your eyes begin to stare at the polygraph machine
as you become aware of the satellites that call her name.
It's as if the ocean swallowed the city lights that we fell in love with.
Paralyzed and paranoid, we withdraw the hands we held.
This is beginning to get ugly, dear.
You feed me to the lions.
Now the tongue becomes the bridge between broken teeth.
Now you feed me to the lions.
How we reach for the arms but only clasp the knees.
How we reach for each other only to die alone.
How we reach for the stars only to swim right through.
How we strive to connect only to fall apart.
I traced your shape and counted the days and you just erased me.
I hit the ground and I make no sound as your heels pierced me.
I scarred my face to conquer my pride and you cocooned in your misery.
I plucked you up from a bed of nails and hung me for your salvation.
Can I come down?
There's been a mistake.
Can I come down?
Isn't this what you asked of me?
You lost faith.
Blinding white.
And just before my chest caved in,
I climbed back down I caught your scent but the wolves beat me to you.
Stopped behind the place where we met.
Found strands of your dress they were all that was left.
I dug you up the night you died and this is what you asked me,
"when will the sun overthrow the eclipse.
I'm just waiting for this night to end.
Leave me here, just go." as the dusk set in.
As the sickness spread.
I took one glance behind.
And you had disappeared.
Slipping right through my fingers.
Gripping as tight as I can.
Slipping right through my hands we can't look back.
They've got the searchlights on us.
Stay close you'll be alright.
With shadows as my guide.
I'm looking for the answer.
I will be the one who breaks the constant midnight.
Tossed to the swine.
I make the climb from the abyss.
Lost.
Into the night.
To the abyss.
I trace your shape to memory I traced your shape.
This scalpel makes a map across my back.
Carve a short cut to your suitcase lips.
There's no saving us tonight.
Our pulse will flutter like a dial tone.
As you touch my hand for one last time, the car engine hums us to sleep. The lies.
Your subtle teeth.
Tonight is the rest of our lives, a carbon monoxide lullaby. Evacuate. Abandon this breath.
Pull myself apart. Just to feel something real.
I close my eyes I turn my back for one last time.
I hold my breath I fall alseep inside your arms. Your eyes reflect my regrets. All the feelings you cant afford and the ones I cant control have collided. Now I'm a mess. I've tried my best to hide it. Now it's obvious. I wear it in these wounds that never heal.
I know you thought I would go quietly
but I never asked you for permission to believe
in something bigger than us both.
I think you owe me an apology.
You left me waiting in the desert for the sand.
I aim my mouth at the sky.
Only to find my lungs have filled with sand.
I let the sun burn me down before I let you inside
I clear my throat.
It's just a matter of time before you set something innocent on fire
just to watch it run.
So keep forcing me into survival mode
I need to know what it's all worth.
I'll chase that dream down that same one-way dead-end road
Until I find another reason to stay home and let it go.
Once again, I need your skin, these teeth will take too much, they always do.
Sever me, desire bleeds you dry, coercion takes to long.
Drain you and leave.
You never felt so alive, until you put in your midnight eyes.
These bones you cracked on the run will be left to bleach in the sun.
Smother me, these idle hands will be the death of us (at least one of us)
Salivate; it makes me sick, was I born this way?
You wish you were, you never felt so alive until you put in your midnight eyes
These bones you cracked on the run will be left to bleach in the sun
You simply refuse to accept no consolation gift
These offers I will reject, I won't be swinging by my neck
the cold moon will always eclipse the truth spilling from your lips
These offers I will reject, I won't be swinging by my neck.
Give it up, know when to quit, are you in control?
A balancing act on a burning tightrope
Hunger pains until you get your way, until you get your way
Until you get your way, nausea.
Keep chasing the sound in your head
down a road that will never end
It eats away at you, and you cannot abandon it.
You should have fled when you still had the chance.
You should have fled when you still could have.
Suffocate your hope.
Keep chasing the sound in your head,
down a road that will never end.
Slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks.
You whispered softly in my ear "the birth of morning's upon us, dear,"
the bandages feel upon the floor.
And there was no one in that room.
And It's quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands.
Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss.
Your anesthetic name is autographed upon my bones.
This reception died in vein.
In vein.
A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface.
A jealous daughter starves to death, for the mother,
as I awaited your return.
I wait for your return.
It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive.
To throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes.
I'd give anything to feel alive.
And I will wait for you tonight.
The scalpel carves a map for you.
When you find me pinned beneath the wreckage
Call off your sirens call of your search everything is quiet
On fire everything is warm inside the glow with television static,
With engines purring let me sleep.
One by one will my friends leave my side
Or will my plane just drop out of the sky?
I can't afford to sleep through the virus hard at work.
It's called me out.
This body will collapse.
Useless to the world.
One sudden drop.
One by one as my senses fade away.
Tied to machines that feed signals to my brain.
This is the end.
The doctor draws a blade.
With patient hands.
He writes his name in braille.
I can't slow my breathing down when I'm staring at the floor.
Underneath the threat of giving in, I give it all once more.
Quietly dissolving under lights
That call me home I can hear the voices trailing off.
Someone is shutting me down.
Someone is shoving me underneath waves of lead.
And I wasn't strong enough to swim back up to the surface to find you.
This is how it begins quietly counting backwards from ten, nine, eight.
Seven-six-five-four-three.
But I can't concentrate on anything.
No one can save me.
I'm not even here.
I am drifting from consciousness into oblivion.
We have followed our leaders into the vault of a burning bank
We raised our children on dead end roads
waiting to death in the summer win
Looking for answers that I was never meant to find
I swallow my tongue in defeat before I drown
face down in the street waiting for the ambulance to arrive
I saved myself from you
Gagging to death on these prayers
my agony is self-inflicted
Burn my body at the stake
My love in effigy
My songs are gasoline in the mouth of a coward shouting "Fire"
I swallow my questions down in fear before I know
Too much of myself, trying to explain what keeps me falling to my knees.
The burden of living proof, I saved myself from you.
In case of a new emergency, I saved myself from you.
When nothing moves in the wake of regret, I saved myself from you.
The signal flares will light the way to the scene of the accident,
where we'll dance like a pile of teeth in a broken mouth.
Such a sick celebration.
Everyone loves a fucking tragedy in epic proportions.
Let's set our hearts at self-destruct.
Like scarlet drips on a white tile floor.
A cardiac metronome.
We'll scrape the guardrail from our teeth and start again.
There's a flood in the infirmary where we'll swim through broken glass.
I crawled for miles
Slit open by a trail of thorns
I prowled, I prowled for vapid avenue
Slurring every word I wished I said
Stranded, a nocturnal hell hole
I have a dread of becoming a martyr
Pry it out, pry it out
Pavement, spits back when the clock strikes
I crawled for miles
And miles
Take the palms
Save the fright from
I sprawled, protypical creature
Mouth wide on a cobblestone canvas
Time lapse, rejected donors
Flee from the scene
Blind numb
On a whiskey slicked highway
I'm reeling towards
The temptation at hand
Fog lights
Disjointed lightning
Nauseous, nauseous
I'm drooling right on cue
I'm sleeping in a pew
It's all misconstrued
Goddamn, this night
Fabricate
Deny
Until the beat makes you sick
Guttershark
Prescribe
The man is void of reason
I crawled for miles and miles
Till the palms
Called it quits, yeah
I crawled for miles
And miles and miles
Take the palms
Save the fright
From fear grips me
Drained, pissed
Drowned
You might cut a man
Just to watch him bleed
You might cure yourself
Of this plague
You might spill your gut's
To this blood thirsty crowd
They might think I'm you
I'm gonna end up you
You can't shake it
The fear, the voice, the tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me
You can't shake it
The fear, the voice, the tremble
The bittersweet melody is deafening
So hide your broken halo from me
I crawled for miles
I crawled for miles
You and I are not survivors, decorated victims of a losing war,
All dressed up in our defensive wounds.
We are the ghosts.
Haunted by the living ones.
Every day apparitions.
Haunted by the sound of our own voices.
We are the ghosts.
Faithlessly wandering around.
And I'll wander around. Yeah, I'll wander around.
Passing through, I'm just passing through.
Stranded here forever.
Caught in the middle of our own exorcism.
The human body is a grave.
This world is purgatory.
We are prisoners of our selves.
Stranded here forever.
Slave away, for the price of your youth you can earn yourself a dying wage.
You're worth your weight in the sweat that you spill for the good of the company
At the end of the night counting on your smokebreaks
You seem to move a lot of product but the product doesn't move anyone,
and that's the honest to god damned truth.
Did you answer the call when it came or did you call it a day?
Like my father, he buried his passion,
sacrificed the twelve-bar blues to take on the real world.
At dawn I awoke to go back to the clockwork
where I sing my songs to whoever will listen.
A glimpse of the good life beyond 9 to 5
to the has-beens, the no ones, civilians and children.
On the company dime, burning all your smokebreaks
You seem to move a lot of product but the product doesn't move...
Trudge on, workhorse.
God help you all you're just getting by.
You run like a river without a prize in your sights.
Bleed on. Bleed on. Bleed yourself dry..
This road is my bridge,
She will wreck your life.
It's for me to decide,
how you'll wreck your life.
Cut the Queen, just try.
She will wreck your life.
It's for me to decide.
How you'll wreck your life.
Cut the Queen, just try.
She will wreck your life.
You will plug me in and turn me on.
Turn on me.
I am your device of manufactured hope.
You plug me in and turn me into wires and blood.
I am your trophy wife shaking hands with your guests.
Hi my name is "yours".
The unfortunate ones will be spared.
We are the industry.
I'm sorry your name is not on the list.
Your results do not comply.
Your ashes will fuel the machine.
We crawled out of the ocean for the evolution
to conduct the grand finale.
She wants so badly to return the favor,
to bring you back home.
Everything's breaking, the cycle is void.
So we fed on the bones of the weak with a rabid bite.
We fucked on in the glow of the bomb.
Everyone's racing, there's blood on the streets.
You bred the new pets, they all caught the plague.
Just human error, lean in and weep.
Don't weep. You made this. Now bask in it.
Ring it in. Brand New. Ice Age.
And I hope you can swim.
If we don't make it out alive,
What comes after oblivion?
We'll all take turns wearing the ring,
The spotlights will blackout the holes in the sheets.
We stretch out for miles and just like a scar along the face of the earth,
It's to bad that you wont be here forever
Brace yourself for the plight of the born
As the spotlight strips you bare
Just a useless act in the play of life
Cast as the role of the lover
And I feel slightly misplaced
In a world that fuck or be fucked, kill the lights
Letch, one more time and say it like you mean it
Lush, one more time and tell it like you feel it
Lover, you've got talent but I just don't see it
Wrap your hook around my neck
And get me off, get me off
Get me off your stage
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you fed me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know why
And what do I have left?
The composer just went deaf
The singer lost his breath
In the glow of the crowd
The dancer's on a crutch
The writer drank too much
The director lost his touch
In the glow of the crowd
Can you resist the urge to burn the script we wrote?
Bring on the flood before we choke
Applause engulfs the room
We bow into the tombs
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
Sing me one more line so I can sleep
This is all you need
My love, it follows you
To your grave, to your grave
And I know, my love, it follows you
To your grave, to your grave
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you told me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
And nothing could be worse and I know
In every coma, lover's kiss collides with truth
And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise
And I know, disguise the lies that you told me last night
These plots are breeding grounds for nothing but the worst
Waiting for the sun to set my wings ablaze.
The show must go on.
The funeral needs a star.
Tonight I have become the gossip and the choir.
The useless and the used.
The one who reaches for her arms.
I am denial.
You are the one who fell from grace for them.
Is there a reason why?
The funeral needs a star.
As you walk away for the last time
could you hear my heart consumed behind you?
As you turn your back from the dying
did you feel the sun burn out inside you?
You set my wings ablaze.
You will run from familiar arms into their embrace.
I hope they love you like I did when you needed me
Collect your bones.
Man did you hear the news.
The boy's back in town
And he reeks of the blues warm
Welcome home to the bitter truth.
So someone spiked the drinks
With bad blood tonight the venom takes control.
I'm kicking down the door.
So fuck the invite.
Spare me the small-talk.
Every second the price on my head grows.
I'm dodging bullets from a gunman who everybody knows.
I can hear you calling out.
But it's a waste of time.
And I just can't bring myself
To slap a mouth that never shouts.
So raise our glasses one more time.
May the best man overdose on pride.
I could destroy you.
But not in these shoes.
You lack the stones to be more than a metaphor.
I saw this coming slow as an avalanche.
Here's some advice for you next time
Make sure you put at least two bullets in the head.
So make this your last mistake
This is not a cheap shot it cost an arm and a leg.
So please give me something to shake
Something to lean on something to shatter or break.
Somewhere between the frozen layers sleeps a fragile woman.
Waiting for her husband to remove the shards of glass.
The sun betrays the light that it once shed.
And daughter cuts the hair.
Tangled in a silver brush.
Spitting at a broken mirror.
I feel the movement of ghosts in the room.
She keeps a photograph locked in her mouth.
The smell of turpentine drips from the walls.
Forgive and forget.
Relive and regret.
You're not alone.
Battered and courageous all eyes on you
We made you some kind of god of war on your back
Awaiting constant salivation straight from the snuff film
Cutting room floor shot by shot cry out
"I've had enough" the pictures not done
Till you lose a pint of blood this is
What I found in the wake the message
Was scratched on the face of his grave it goes
We will find the silver lining and make this our own
Where'd that pretty smile go you put it in a box
And left it on the side of the road thanks for nothing
You watched the ball drop then made a wish on a burnt out star
When'd you lose control you woke up one day with swine
All over your shore we committed our army to you fearless
Leader come see this through far from prophetic no promise
And I'd burn alive to keep you warm when you're alone.
Shiver under blankets in the basement where our secrets sleep.
You pour the liquor on the staircase, girl.
Pass the flask and close your eyes.
Are you grieving for what we've become?
Are you running from that room?
We set the evidence on fire.
We light cigarettes and chase out old regrets.
Are you grieving for tonight?
I smell the sulfur on her skin (breathe in).
Yesterday will be the end of you and I.
Yesterday will be the end of shoulders where we rest our head.
Now we grieve for tomorrow goes on without us.
Now we breathe for no one else.
Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow
waiting for the grave to tell me she is lonely.
Open up and hold me slowly feel my body become one and only.
Death is just an excuse to forget you.
Now we run from ourselves.
The signal flares will light the way to the scene of the accident,
where we'll dance like a pile of teeth in a broken mouth.
Such a sick celebration.
Everyone loves a tragedy in epic proportions.
Lets set our hearts at self-destruct.
Like scarlet drips on a white tile floor.
A cardiac metronome.
We'll scrape the guardrail from our teeth and start again.
There's a flood in the infirmary where we'll swim through broken glass.
Our prosthetic limbs will keep us afloat.
All your moves are an act to me, If I'm dismissive,
the red on your hand and the stutter in your step gave me permission.
Who's broken heart did I abduct to feign these tears?
Who's battered soul did I usurp to howl like this?
The blade sharp and well groomed, but the execution lacked vision.
I was deployed to revive the lull in your casual blackouts.
Who's phantom hand did I possess to get this feeling?
One foot on the stage, one foot in the grave.
The only time you feel alive is when you're on fire.
There's a tempest raging on and on in my body.
You picked your battles, I just loved to fight.
lost some, won some, then I lost count.
You can't see eye to eye when you're drinking from a different well.
I'm unopposed to replaying the dying picture.
I couldn't shut your laughing eyes, they just kept on getting louder and louder.
Grand delusions rub my ego so raw. I wasn't burn with this thorn in my side, no.
I stole every kiss from the sight of the crash.
if you believe these outrageous claims,
Then I'll take you to the black hole.
I'll stand knee deep in your ridicule.
Your tongue flickers as threats are made.
I've saved you a seat in hell.
Lets begin.
You can shove glass down my throat.
I need your fists against my flesh.
That would move me an honest inch.
I am through with you.
Turn your cameras off.
Show me something real.
You are nothing now without your friends.
I'll cut you to ribbons.
My favorite color of confetti.
You tried to cover your tracks
But I caught on to you they found your ear in a jar,
Your bones in a bag, in the back of the room
When they pulled the snakes off your flesh, they were hungry for more.
You have had your last, all your sins are cleansed, no reason for you to go on.
Spike the I.V. with kerosene as insects halo an open wound.
They flutter death threats in morse code and old habits are exposed.
Secret handshake decapitation.
Push the knife back in before embalming fluid seeps.
I'm pulling out the scissors for old times sake.
The sky blistered red, shot's ring overhead
I'm scaling walls that the soldiers built to muffle out your screams
The message was dislocated, misconveyed, incinerated
In the wake of war, just listen for the flood
The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?
If not us, can I just save you?
Can't you hear the bombs are calling all our old habits their own
A sniper patiently awaiting me in every catacomb
Are you scared girl? Won't you be my assassin?
Hunted down for the last time and carried you home
The arthritis in us all is choking me out
It's killing me
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
If not us, can I just save you?
Bring on the love 'cause here comes the flood
Bring on the love 'cause here comes
We must have been seduced by the calm of the isle as we tied our
Wrists, our wrists too tight in the shallow, shallow, shallow
[Incomprehensible]
Maybe you could finally be the one
Who reaches in and saves me from the flood
Collapse, this is our last chance
There's no time for relapse
Just listen for the flood
I made a pact not to sleep through the end
All of the dreamers are stuck in their beds
Fight off the attraction to always play dead
I'm tortured by white noise in half hour sets
Ears ringing, your mouth ran for miles
But hasn't gone anywhere, you're lost
I heard the word on the street
And it means nothing to me
So how do you like me now?
Where's your passion?
The renaissance man is a thing of the past
To you it's fashion
Dress up, don't address
What keeps us from resting
The jackals circle for the feast
I try to fight it off but it's consuming me
The rapture has only begun
While you sleep, they watch you breathing
And you can bet it gets worse
When the moon crashes into the sun
While you dream, both ends are burning
Pray for one more chance
They will steal the air from your lungs
In the back of the hearse
Overturned as your insides prolapse
Wake before, before it's too fucking late
When everyone has a skeleton key
When everyone rots in captivity
When everyone is sleeping off the heat
You shut the blinds
As they cauterize what lives inside
You shut the blinds
Sweet Meredith what have you done?
The whores have painted up their lips tonight.
To kiss the angels into ruin.
You tell me not to hold my breath.
If you could be the end of need.
If you would only reach out your hand.
Stare into my dead white eyes and bring me back to life.
Sweet Meredith you made me real.
And stole my breath with your goodbye.
Tonight heaven wraps her hands around my neck
and sings me her final lullaby.
You made me real.Your kiss is my catastrophe
I lost my voice in the fire.
I burned my eyes staring at your eclipse.
I was just a child.
My father's favorite.
Such delicate arms keep reaching toward the horizon.
As we keep starving for this beauty, we are sick with distance.
Starving for this beauty.
We are sick with distance.
Grieving for his failure.
We are sick with distance.
You keep me on my knees,waiting for, waiting for.
You keep me on my knees mummified in your arms.
You keep me on my knees,waiting for, begging for.
This is the last chance that you will get to say my name into his chest.
I lost my voice in the fire.
I burned my eyes staring at your eclipse.
I was just a child.
My father's favorite.
Such delicate arms keep reaching toward the horizon.
Shine on spotlight cadaver.
What have you become?
Come get your glamour fix.
Pushed into vein.
Shine on sweet medicated kisses.
I wont watch you die.
Your surrogate funeral eyes like blackened pillows.
Your victim's mask is slipping away.
Malfunction slow collapse.
One more fix to get you through.
A soft syringe to lick your wounds.
When you look into the mirror
Are you afraid of what you see
Through yellow caution tape.
Will you come to me for love?
Welcome to the end of the night
Where everyone reeks of stale smoke, dirty jokes
Stop me if you've heard this one
The ransom's over, where's my cut, cut, cut, cut?
Skewered on an open flame
I bought you off the spit, pose for me
Paws and knees trace around the switchblade gash
We're all born fresh but now we rot, rot, rot, rot
I'm the bastard kid of a dead beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Is that good for you? Well, it's good for me, baby
I'm the lucky son of a bitch you need
To keep alive your losing streak
I've got one more trick up my sleeve
Does that work for you? Well, it works for me, baby
When you can't tear your eyes away
'Coz she's got such a pretty face
And a filthy fucking mind
And I will wait outside the gates
But I won't leave till you show me what's on the inside
Well, I can't shake this lack of sleep
It feasts on me till you show me what's on the inside
I'm the bastard kid of a dead beat town
You're just what I need to bring me down
I've got enough strength for one more round
Is that good for you? Well, it's good for me, baby
And our mothers sleep with lottery dreams
Our fathers built the pyramid schemes
Nothing is ever what it seems
But it works for you 'coz it works for me
You just had yourself a taste
Of how sweet the life could be
The plague.
It came and stole my good fortune away it's not the end,
It's just judgment day.
Crossed off the list.
I must have some nerve
How could I show my face around here
Ever again it's not worth the silence.
It's not worth a friend.
They say these things happen in threes.
I braved the streets with 1.2.3.sheets to the wind.
I'll see this one through till the credits begin
It's worse inside all the soldiers wivers are wearing red
I hang my head on what could've been, could've been, couldn't be.
I was graced and forgiven.
Now I'm given a second chance to fall
Now I'd give it all away hopefully I am safe for now.
I'm to blame, I'll admit it.
Now I'm given a second chance to fall
I was graced and forgiven now I'm given a second chance to fall
But it's just like the other ones I know I'll just fuck it up
And it's not worth the silence and it's not worth a friend
They say these things happen in threes this is the dream
That haunts your sleepless nights you try to scream
But can't escape the crushed windpipe I'm so easy to attach,
You're so eager to amputate this is the one false move I made
That left me cursing the day I stopped at all to breathe
A long shot.
The liar is the only one who spills his guts.
We all swallow your words like starving dogs.
We eat it up.
Hell of a scam.
You pulled the wool over our broken eyes again who's in command?
Hell of a scam, you got the one armed man to tie the rope again.
Who's in command?
Yeah, we'll have your head,
We'll have your head we've been misled we'll have your head.
We'll have your head and mercy's not something
You'll be blessed with you'll take a trip to the guillotine
The price of your guilty plea you sold me an empty dream
Now my hearts too black for you to be redeemed
We broke our backs for you we fought your wars for you
We heard your words as gospel truth we slaved away for you
We never questioned you we spread your words as gospel truth
We are forgotten names the only friends you betrayed a stop on your rise,
Can't look us in the eyes I'd put this to bed but the sting remains
And then there was one with sharpened grin a home I was never meant to find.
The wound was exposed and I fell in a curse
I was blessed with as a child I spent my life waiting for this
I knew I even bore the mark around my wrist
And I feel like this could be enough this could be the one this could be the one.
Raise your palms to me and let me show you where our lines collide graze the scalp
And see show me where you think they placed that tracking device.
It is so contagious you can't escape from me
You can't run they're hot on your trail hunting your down
For a lock of your hair and they shot your on the space between your wings.
They tied your limbs and made you sing what makes you so evasive?
You can't escape from me.
We've lost communication these words will dissipate
I've scoured through this wasteland you are a mystery
And I caught you right before you fled
If I could breathe in your air then I'd believe what you said
If I could see what you see then I would never have left
I picked apart the clues that I found I stood out
I stood out for you to show yourself we can forget everything
We've become it's not far it's not far until the oxygen show me
What's in store locked beneath trap doors for every plot unrevealed
You counted my scars and made me sing every note every secret forced me back
Into lucidity and you proved to us, you proved to me suffer
The distance between we'll douse our words in kerosene suffer.
Leave something for me we'll burn them all until we make this true
