"Hello, is anyone there? Hello, I can't hear you Hello, is anyone there? Anyone? Is anyone there?" Let the dancing begin... "Hello? Hello? Um..." "What is this crazy rock and roll music anyway?" Fuck this! Cross my heart, I hope you die Left by the roadside, karma's a bitch, right? Cross my heart, I hope you die Left by the roadside, karma's a bitch, right?

Oh my God Oh my God If only he knew If only he knew If only he knew about the world without the bullshit and the lies We could've saved him; they could've saved me But instead, I'm here drowning in my own fucking mind And I'll be damned if you're the death of me Blood and ink stain the walls Silently with bloodied knuckles, I carry on Hoping it's not too wrong You said the nights were far too long ( Honey, it's just the start of it ) Oh my God If only he knew Oh my God If only he knew (If only he knew) If only he knew Just stand up and scream The tainted clock is counting down (Faster and fast) You gave in to me Would you say the nights are far too long now? (Faster, faster and fast) Oh my God (Oh my fucking God) The tears that stain my cheek Must make me look weak I wear them proudly I wear them proud Just stand up and scream The tainted clock is counting down (Faster and fast) You gave in to me Would you say the nights are far too long now? (Faster, faster and fast) Your knife, my back My gun, your head Your knife, my back My gun, your head (You need a doctor, baby, you scared?) (You need a doctor, baby, you scared?) (You need a doctor, baby, you scared?) You need a doctor, baby, you scared? You scared? You scared? Yeah You need a doctor, baby, you scared? You need a doctor, baby, you scared? You need a doctor, baby You need a doctor, baby, you scared?

This isn't over, baby, don't believe a word they said But then she takes a moment to ponder To wonder what could've been given another chance To find a light in the darkness and a way out of this If only she could see what I could see She takes a moment to stumble to her feet If only I was there to hold her hand If only she saw what I saw She'd get out of this one, she'd get out of here What burns the most is that you lied right to my face And still, I hold your hand to set you free What burns the most is that you lied right to my face And still, I hold your hand to set you free, to set you free With eyes closed, her heart breaks And through it all, she brought this on herself, on herself With eyes closed, her heart breaks And through it all, she brought this on herself, on herself For me, for you, the fallen, save her For us, for them, for good, save her For me, for you, the fallen, save her For us, for them, for good, save her (Save her) Save her She falls beside me (She falls, she falls) She brought this on herself She falls, she falls (She falls beside me) She falls beside me, she falls, she falls She falls, she falls beside me (She falls, she falls) She falls, she falls beside me (She falls) This song's for you With eyes closed, her heart breaks And through it all, she brought this on herself, on herself With eyes closed, her heart breaks And through it all, she brought this on herself, on herself

I'm alive I'm alive Watch yourself, I'm taking over The cracks in the pavement won't break my stride I tread lightly, I tread light I'm alive I can't believe what I've become I won't stop breathing Your world is falling at your feet I won't stop breathing Oh my God Yeah I can't believe what I've become I won't stop breathing Your world is falling at your feet I won't stop breathing Just 'cause you're breathing don't mean you're alive Excuses are useless when your mouth's stapled shut I can't believe what you've become, I can't believe I can't believe what you've become, I can't believe Oh You're drowning in the back room So this is what it feels to waltz? You're drowning in the back room So this is what it feels to waltz? You're drowning in the back room So this is what it feels to waltz? You're drowning in the back room So this is what it feels to waltz? What it feels to waltz? I must be dreaming, demise, so surreal I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming I must be dreaming

Oh, you're back to me, and the hunger returns I told myself I was done for good All the memories of all the pictures burned I see them dancing, my heart begins to pound I didn't make a sound They didn't see me coming The lights are left on The curtains left wide One scream, it's over I lay them side by side, side by side Holding each other I'll be there in the morning with a smile on my face I'll be there in the morning to start it all again Boy, you caught me red-handed You've got no fucking clue what you just got yourself into Panic runs down your leg, seeing me kill again You just got yourself caught, and you don't even know it On the drive, you get the rush and pull a gun on me We make the stop, it's time to be set free Oh, the bullet's gone I take this spade, I slit your throat You fall into your grave I cover up my tracks, I'm done I won't kill again I said that's it, I'm done I'll be there in the morning with a smile on my face I'll be there in the morning to start it all again No, she's daddy's little girl; she wasn't meant to be another me But it's the scissors to my throat, to my fucking throat No, she's daddy's little girl; she wasn't meant to be another me But it's the scissors to my throat, to my fucking throat

I can't see through the tears in my eyes I can't see through the tears in my eyes, I can't breathe I feel I failed, I was meant to make you smile I was meant to make you shine, to make you shine They said this could never happen They said we could never be Are you telling me you listened? I was meant to make you smile I was meant to make you shine I was meant to make you smile I was meant to make you shine I was meant to make you smile I was meant to make you shine So, there's no you and me? And we can't live this way forever? (Forever, you said you'd run away) You said you'd run away, you said you'd run away with me (With me, you'd run away) That we'd escape from the ordinary That we'd escape from the world that tied us down That we'd escape from the ordinary That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart (Woah-oh-oh) So, now this is over, and the world falls upon me (Woah-oh-oh) I never expected to be here alone (Woah-oh-oh) The shadows are forming as we burst into flames (Woah-oh-oh) Why does this end this way? (Woah-oh-oh) (Woah-oh-oh) Why does this end this way? (Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh)

False tales, lies of a washed-up prom queen Why'd you tell me everything was fine, everything was okay? Get on your knees, oh Oh, why? Tear me up No, why? Everything's dead inside Oh, you should've told me, at least I would've known No, you should've told me, and carved it in my bones Tear out my eyes Remove my gift of Sight proves ever cursing The light won't find us here Painted red, my eyes are burning And still, you hide behind the waves Your silence is haunting Your words relentless, burying in My heart betrays me, for a last first kiss goodbye Fall asleep Jar one eye Jar one eye Spilling every lie you've spilled before; still, I'm not forgiving you What's happened between us? What can I give to save us? Being righteous isn't quite enough What's happened between us? What can I give to save me? These oceans are far between our hearts The breathing has got too hard These oceans are far between our hearts The breathing has got too hard Boo, scream with the voice of an angel, lie in the eyes of the gospel Smile in the face of your victims, smile for me This is my last request to you, hold my breath I was clutching onto disaster, hold my breath

One, two, three, four (All the things that you said, was it all in my head?) Come on, baby, keep it down, honey, hush your lips Clothes trailing from the backdoor, to the bedroom And I don't even know your name (Ho) Give me all you've got, make this night worth my time Make this worth my time, oh, what I'd give to live this night again I knew when I first saw you, you'd fuck like a whore You'd fuck like a whore I can hear you scream for more, yeah Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze My lips, your poison, they bring you to your knees Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze My lips, your poison, they bring you to your knees (Ah, come on) Girl, get down, it's almost over Take it all the way, oh You stupid fucking whore And after all of all my dreaming being only you You're standing there, baby, oh, the things that I could do Back to the wall with a drink in my hand Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride And one step too late, and I never told you (Never told you) That I can't take another disappointment Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending Ten inch With your back against the wall With your face buried in the pillow I see you cold, I feel you heartless Bitch, you stupid fucking bitch You stupid fucking bitch "Fuckin' bitch"

You said you'd cried a thousand times But I don't believe a word of it You loved it when my heart stopped So, you start to listen Just stop and listen Don't test my words Just believe, I did believe Just believe, I did believe Who am I to say? For any thought, you could lie your way out of this one For any thought, you could lie your way out of this one Put faith aside We have no way of knowing how short our tie is Before the Devil knows you're dead There will be blood, there will be blood Now, you know just how I feel For any thought, you could lie your way out of this one For any thought, you could lie your way out of this one (Oh, baby, just maybe, you're not the one Oh, baby, just maybe, you're not the one) The fall as they stand at the end of it all, and after it all The hopes of the sinners will lose hope and break for me Oh, baby, just maybe, you're not the one, you never were It was all sympathy and simple words of nothingness, nothingness This is where you die This is where you die

How stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away? Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days? We'll be home soon, so dry your eyes You'll be okay (You'll be okay) Oh my God, the water is rising It's rising You just have to believe in me Sailing out, I'll ride this storm alone We can still make it out, fuck I can help you through this, but you have to take my hand I can take you home, take my hand, take my hand I should've known the tides were getting higher We can still survive They think we're drowning but our heads are still Above the waves, above the waves I should've known the tides were getting higher We can still survive above the waves I should've known the tides were getting higher I should've known the tides were getting higher We can still survive You never said goodbye (Goodbye) You never said goodbye (Goodbye) You never said goodbye (Goodbye) You never said goodbye, and now you're on your own You never said goodbye You never said goodbye (Goodbye)

I see myself there waiting by the roadside Laid claim to nothing but a black bag and the attire I stand in No name, no history, just a target on my temple And a hole in my head, and I could've been one of kings The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be A monkey in a man suit I stand here as nothing to you Wind me up and watch me go Lay down your guns, cut me from ear to ear Eye for an eye; the glass is long gone broken Lay down your guns, cut me from ear to ear Eye for an eye; the glass is long gone broken I walk this road alone No thanks to you I walk this road alone No thanks to you, no thanks to (To) Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Load up your six-shot, baby, put it to my head Pull the trigger, blank, I'd figured, put it to me, dead Lay your guns down, let me die, why won't you just let me die? Lay your guns down, let me die, why won't you just let me die? Lay your guns down, let me die, scars don't heal when you keep Cutting, always cutting, cutting deeper, always deeper Yeehaw Scars don't heal when you keep cutting
