Carry your flags, march into that fictional cause and show off that medal Just don't reach for that gun Reach for that gun Carry that banner, build that heart out of stone Just don't reach for that gun You scaled the high horse and I felt the change I know the difference between you and me You scaled the high horse and I felt the change I know the difference between you and me You and me You cleaned the outside of your chalice But it's filled with robbery and self indulgence Just like the rest of us You wear that cross like a crown You wear that cross like a dagger You wear that cross like a crown You wear that cross like a dagger Oh my god, take this sword from my mouth You scaled the high horse and I felt the change I know the difference between you and me Come down from that tower Come down from that tower Come down from that tower Come down from that tower Nothing will be the outcome Nothing will be the outcome Nothing will be the outcome Nothing will be the outcome Nothing will be the outcome Nothing is the outcome Nothing will be the outcome

It's like you know the words But you can't hear the music You've lived a lie for so long Now you believe it You're shooting silver bullets And taking magic pills I'm asking you, do you know a way to delete my conscience? Don't put your ear to the floor to hear the sound of the future Yours is a history shaped by disaster We're coming back for you You better brace yourself I'm telling you We're coming back To collect that killer Who killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down? You killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down? We make the same mistakes We always count them I want to fail you so badly I'm telling you We're coming back To collect that killer Who killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down? You killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down? What if I have to lose? What if I have to suffer? So what if I have to lose? So what if I have to suffer? You killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down? You killed me and threw me away Am I holding you up Or you holding me down?

From the bloodline of vicious serpents A dreadful heart within a lovely shell A demon's heart, but with the face of God I guess a liar's heart is still true even if her lips are not The vomit that flows out from your mouth Has seeped into your chest Searching for the strength To breathe in one last lie from you But right now the grave seems so much easier The fear of that devil in me It comes from you You're like the smoke in the window It comes from you She comes for sorrow She comes for lies We came here for blood Did you? Yes or no? We came here for blood Did you? Yes or no? No one's getting out because We came here for blood Did you? Yes or no? No one's getting out because We came here for blood Did you? Yes or no? No one's getting out because We came for blood We came for blood She's not breathing and I don't care Because no one's breathing, no one She's not breathing She's not breathing She's not breathing Yeah Choke that witch out Suffocate her Suffocate her Choke her out

Open that door I'll follow you into that space Where nothing is regretted then forgotten Where is that grace that carries me out? So strange it's mine It's closed and locked But if you open that door, it won't be Yesterday when, before the days of collapsing And I'll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you Can you help me every step of the way? We can bury that battle and bury the cause There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time Everyone knows cause they see the glare in our eyes Be careful now, don't drown yourself in sorrow I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down and now I'll carry on till it's over And it's over But if you open that door, it won't be Yesterday when, before the days of collapsing And I'll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you Can you help me every step of the way? We can bury that battle and bury the cause There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time Wrong this time This time Yesterday when, before the days of collapsing And I'll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you Can you help me every step of the way? We can bury that battle and bury the cause There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time This time Yesterday Yesterday

Left alone Your pale skin is a razor sharp wire So I place these scales over my eyes Don't touch me, I'm sick You whisper, but I hear only what I choose Hello my good old friend Your hand pulls me back from that mire Will I look back and stare And wonder if she is way back there? But afterwards my mouth Will be filled with gravel And I'm left alone You know that feeling of fear and desperation In the pit of your stomach that's making you nauseous Excitement, apprehension You wish you could lose it all Hello my good old friend Your hand pulls me back from that mire Will I look back and stare And wonder if she is way back there? Hello my good old friend Your hand pulls me back from that mire Will I look back and stare And wonder if she is way back there? But afterwards my mouth Will be filled with gravel And afterwards I'm left alone The fear of dealing with this is stronger Than the fear of just forgetting this And future, I am scared of you Left alone Hello my good old friend Your hand pulls me back from that mire Will I look back and stare And wonder if she is way back there? I swear I will find my way back I swear I will find my way back to the light I swear, I swear Now that I'm left alone I'm left alone

Don't worry it can't be fixed Don't worry it can't be fixed So don't worry Light that fuse, back up three steps Light that fuse, back up three steps And sink without a trace Light that fuse, back up three steps I'm sinking in cursory And I'm sinking headfirst I'm sinking in cursory And I'm sinking headfirst Hold me down till I stop crying I don't want to feel this anymore Hold you down cause you're not trying I don't want to feel this anymore Hold me down till I stop crying I don't want to feel this anymore Hold you down cause you're not trying I don't want to kill you anymore Is this what you were designed for? Did you think that you had it coming? Hell follows with you I'm sinking in cursory And I'm sinking headfirst I'm sinking in cursory And I'm sinking headfirst I'm sinking headfirst Is this what you were designed for? Did you think you had it coming? Hell follows with you

I can't recall that last day of sun Curtains closed And sitting with the lights out An uncertain emptiness surrounds me I'm numb and my judgments Have switched to autopilot Nothing left but echoes And the thoughts of moving on, moving on Don't stay away Don't stay here Tell me all your secrets I promise I'll be listening And if you ever come back home I'll be waiting patiently Tell me nothing sacred I promise I won't hear a word And if you ever come back home I won't act so patiently Black feathers And an unannounced call These things go hand in hand These things go hand in hand Like talking to you And the intake of glass I hope this knife in my hand Speaks for itself, speaks for itself Don't stay away Don't stay here Tell me all your secrets I promise I'll be listening And if you ever come back home I'll be waiting patiently Tell me nothing sacred I promise I won't hear a word And if you ever come back home I won't act so patiently She's not coming back Not coming Tell me all your secrets I promise I'll be listening And if you ever come back home I'll be waiting Don't stay away Don't stay here Tell me all your secrets I promise I'll be listening And if you ever come back home I'll be waiting patiently Tell me nothing sacred I promise I won't hear a word And if you ever come back home I won't act so patiently She's not coming back
