Fuck this!
Cross my heart, I hope you die

Karma's a bitch, right?

2. Final Episode (Let's Change The Channel)
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!
[x2]
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!
3. A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta
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 me,
For good,
Save her!
[x2]
Save her!
She falls beside me!
She brought this on herself!
(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.
4. Nobody Don't Dance No More
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.
[x2]
Oh!
You're drowning in the back room!
so this is what it feels to waltz?
[x4]
What it feels to waltz!
I must be dreaming!
Demise is so surreal!
I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!
I must be dreaming!
5. Hey There, Mr. Brooks!
[feat. Shawn Milke of Alesana]
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 the gun on me!
We make the stop,
It's time to be set free!
Oh, the bullet's gone!
I take the 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!
[x2]
6. Hiatus
Smoke is rising from the houses
People burying their dead
I asked somebody what the time is
But time doesn't matter to them yet
People talking without speaking
Trying to take what they can get
I ask you if you remember
Prospect, how could I forget
Drums Here it comes
Don't you wish that life could be as simple
As fish swimming round in a barrel when you've got the gun?
Oh, when I run
Here it comes
We're just two little figures in a soup bowl
Trying to get the other kind of control
But I wasn't one
But here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
And here I lie
On my own in a separate sky I don't wanna die
On my own here tonight
But here I lie
On my own in a separate sky.
7. If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once...Then You Should Get Out Of The Circus
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!
[x3]
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!
(Whoa!) So now this is over and the world falls upon me.
(Whoa!) I never expected to be here alone.
(Whoa!) The shadows are forming as we burst into flames.
(Whoa!) Why does this end this way?
Whoa!
Whoa! (Why does this end this way?)
Whoa!
Whoa!
8. A Single Moment Of Sincerity
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 could'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 the 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.
[x2]
Oh!
Scream with the voice of an angel!
Lie in the name 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!
9. Not The American Average
1, 2, 3, 4!
(All the things that she 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.
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,
Make this worth my time (oh!)
What I would 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!
Hope they hear you scream for more! (yeah!)
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.
[x2]
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!
One step too late
And I 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!
Fucking bitch.
10. I Used To Have A Best Friend (But Then He Gave Me An STD)
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 sit and listen!
Don't test my words!
Just believe!
I did believe!
Just believe!
I did believe!
Who am I to say?
Fall Amy, fly,
You can't lie your way out of this one.
Fall Amy, fly,
You can't 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 your dead,
There will be blood,
There will be blood!
Now you know just how I feel!
Fall Amy, fly,
you can't lie your way out of this one.
Fall Amy, fly,
you can't 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, will destroy 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!
11. A Prophecy
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!
Failing that 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!
[x4]
And now you're on your own!
You never said goodbye!
You never said goodbye, goodbye!
12. I Was Once, Possibly, Maybe, Perhaps A Cowboy King
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.
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!
[x2]
I walk this road alone,
No thanks to you.
I walk this road alone,
No thanks to you,
No thanks to you.
Load up your six-shot baby,
Put it to my head!
Pull the trigger,
Blank I'd figured!
Put it to me, dead!
[x4]
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!
'Yeeha'
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting!
13. When Everyday's The Weekend
Another sunset!
What a way to start another messy night!
Another drink,
Another bar,
Another girl inside my arms!
I can't see straight anymore!
Just got kicked out the fucking door.
It's all easy!
It's all easy!
That's how we fucking roll!
It's all easy!
It's all easy!
O-o-o-oh!
Tonight's our night like every night before,
Until we fall,
Until we fall.
We'll drink you under
The fucking table!
Rack 'em up!
Put 'em down!
Rack 'em up!
Put 'em down!
Oh!
I like to party!
You like to party!
We like to party!
All night long!
I like to party!
You like to party!
We like to party!
All fucking year!
All fucking year!
