A Death‐Grip on Yesterday (Instrumental)

Go, run away in distress Try to hide from what's creeping and crawling and stabbing within Try to deny the turmoil inside If you fight yourself hard enough You'll never win any ounce of serenity Or a calm hope at best (Or a calm hope at best) Can leave you heaving on the floor Gasping for breath (Are you gasping for breath?) To be left on the floor gasping for breath You're either the person you are Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be Don't let the outside sway too far From where you want to be And at any cruel moments of this You can ruin the best As your body is brutally pressed Against the confines of your tense flesh And if you close your eyes tight enough Then none of the bad can get in (None of the bad can get in) And if you close your eyes tight enough Then none of the light can get in (None of the light can get in) The light can't get in, the light can't get in Boom! You scream as the light hits you It radiates throughout your whole soul Boom! The pain is clarity It cleanses, and if it still fucking hurts then you still fucking know That you are still alive, that you are still in control If you'd only take hold Boom! The day with both hands A death grip, and a good chance to outlive your past (Are you living free, are you living free?) You're either the person you are Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be Don't let the outside sway too far From where you want to be You're either the person you are Or the person you're trying, trying, trying, trying to be Don't let the outside sway too far From where you want to be

You should have ran for days You embrace, you betray (I am sick to say, you're a sad cliché) But when you ran you tripped and fell On a path that lead you straight to hell (This is my salt in your wounds This is my "I told you so") If you knew what I know Would you move like you do? With malicious discontent You went about hell-bent to destroy But did you have a reason why? Here's to lowering caskets of old friends Choice and consequence We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and Start over! Start over! Here's to burying hatchets in those Who you'd never call your friends We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and Start over! Start over! Can you breathe in, reach, and let it out The evil inside that's eating you out tonight With every venomous move, I will suck you up and spit you Get out of my life, get out of my sight Here's to lowering caskets of old friends Choice and consequence We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and Start over! Start over! Here's to burying hatchets in those Who you'd never call your friends We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and Start over! Start over! You let yourself get carried away Don't act like you're ashamed You let yourself get carried away Bow your head now, accept the blame You let yourself get carried away Bury this with you, a waste And now it's time to see What you don't mean to me Now it's time to see What you don't mean to me Now it's time to see What you don't mean to me Here's to lowering caskets of old friends Choice and consequence We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and Start over! Start over! Here's to burying hatchets in those Who you'd never call your friends We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and...

When we danced So pristine and Knee deep in sin, balls deep in hate I see your face I see your face and it tears me Tears me up My mouth is full of love My head is held in shame When you kiss me Do you still taste her? Are you thinking of Are you thinking of me? With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin Does your body still scream my name? Does your body still scream my name? Hold your breath and keep it Trapped with secrets 'Til you're turning cold blue with guilt Still no blood is spilt Had I seen the plot twists coming Would I have checked out the book? And even if I was dead You would never be off the fucking hook When you kiss me Do you still taste her? Are you thinking of Are you thinking of me? With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin Does your body still scream my name? Does your body still scream my... Can you take it while I fake it? Can you take it while I fake it? Cross your heart, false your heart Cross your heart, false your heart When you kiss me Do you still taste her? Are you thinking of Are you thinking of me? With your lips pressed tightly up against his skin Does your body still scream my name? Does your body still scream my name? Cross your heart, false your heart Cross your heart, false your heart

He bends and he breaks If he gives they will take away His passion, his pain, his grace He exhales A thousand black flowers explode Into butterflies as they're away Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (See him numb, see him crushed) See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (Leave them numb, leave them crushed) Leave them numb, leave them crushed Took the fire inside One too many times He's burning over and out now He flails Up against the raging tides No more fights Everything you ever wanted to see See it in his eyes One more time, one more time Climb down to test the waters My hands feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter I'll stay here as long as you let me Decision's been made obvious so I will return Where I started I'll stay here When I'm finished I'll whither away Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (See him numb, see him crushed) See him numb, see him crushed Rip them out, take them Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing That resembles a soul of a man (Leave them numb, leave them crushed) Leave them numb, leave them crushed

You took me home I drank too much 'Cause of you my liver turned to dust Cold rust taste A cruel creeping cold pain Do you understand what I mean? When you feel your soul drop to the floor Like a hole Like an open bleeding sore Then you'll have bled like I bled And you'll have wept as I've wept Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll Let's hit the bar, let's lose control One false move, you took me home One false move, you're all alone But it looks so good and it feels so nice I paid the price I'll cut you out just to hear you scream Get away from, get away from me And I can feel my heartbeat racing As I realize what I must do Get away from Get away from Get away from you I should have turned and ran like hell Last time I got the taste of you I should have turned and ran like hell And I'll see we're through I should have turned and ran like hell Last time I got the taste of you I should have turned and ran like hell And I'll see we're through And I'll see we're through You fell upon me like a plague Weakness, sweet weakness But I digress after all this You're just like all the rest Suck me down, it's time to rock and roll Let's hit the bar, let's lose control One false move, you took me home One false move, you're all alone

You put a bullet in my head Turned black thoughts to red This could all end in tragedy I dream of your death Lay you down to rest I won't look back in fond memory But time marches on like a soldier, are you a killer? I, I think I know what you are - a thief in the night And though it's taken me so very long to figure you out You're throwing stones, your glass castle is falling down On top of your good times, I'm not interested in working this out You put a bullet in my head Turned black thoughts to red This could all end in tragedy And that's what you are, a sad plastic fucking mess Don't come to me with how you're tired, used up and Just barely getting by. Because I would walk on by and Not even, not even kick you when you're down Though you would deserve it because you are lower than The lowest dog. But this is the part where I say goodbye And let the sands of time blow over us Say goodbye, and let the sands of time blow over us You've never had to crawl, you've never had to see What it feels like to be so trapped underneath The weight of someone's world, comes crashing down on me I was longing to be free, I put the bullet in you and me This is my farewell to you and I This will all end in tragedy This is my farewell to you and I This will all end in tragedy This is my farewell to you and I This will all end in tragedy This is my farewell to you and I This will all end in tragedy Woah, this will all end in tragedy Woah, this will all end in tragedy Woah, this will all end in tragedy Woah, this will all end in tragedy This will all end in tragedy This will all end in tragedy This will all end in tragedy This will all end in tragedy
