Fuck This

Close my heart
And hope you die
Live by the wrong side
Carve us a bitch
Ride.

Close my heart
I hope you die
Live by the wrong side
Carve us a bitch
Ride.

. . .


Oh my god,
If only he knew
Blood and ink stain the walls silently with bloodied knuckles
I carry on hoping it's not too wrong
(Honey it's just the start of it)

Oh my god,
If only he knew
Drowned by the traitor

Just stand up and scream, the tainted clock is counting down (faster, faster)
You gave in to me, would you say the nights are far too long now? (faster, faster)

The tears that stain my cheek must make me look week
I wear them proudly

Just stand up and scream, the tainted clock is counting down (faster, faster)
You gave in to me, would you say the nights are far too long now? (faster, faster)

Your knife, my back
My gun, your head
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 the light in the darkness and way out of this
If only she saw what I could see
She takes a moment to stumble to her feet
If 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 take your hand to set you free
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself
For me, for you, the fallen, save her
For me, for us, for good, save her
She falls before me
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself

. . .


I'm alive
Watch yourself I'm taking over
The cracks in the pavement don't break my stride
I step lightly
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
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
You're drowning in the back room
So this is what it feels to waltz?
I must be dreaming
Demise so surreal

. . .


(feat. Shawn Milke)

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
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 bullets 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 fucking throat

No she's
Daddy's little girl
She wasn't meant to be another me
But it's the scissors to my fucking throat

. . .


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.

. . .


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!

. . .


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, why you tore 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 to remove the gift of sight
Proves ever cursing still, the light can't find us here
Painted red my eyes are burning
And still you hide behind the waves

Your silence is so haunting
Your words relentless, burying in
My heart betrays me for a last first kiss goodbye
Fall asleep and jar one eye

Spilling every lie you've spilled before
But I'm not forgiving you
What happened between us, what can I give to save us
Being righteous isn't quite enough
What happened between us, what can I give to save me

These oceans are far between our hearts (these oceans are)
The breathing has got too hard

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 on to disaster
Hold my breath

. . .


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
(Woo) 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
That this would be a night to remember
Hope they hear you screaming for more
Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze
My lips, your poison
They bring you down to your knees
Girl get down
It's almost over
Take it all the way
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
Baby back it up and ride, ride, ride
She's screaming
With your back against the wall, with your face buried in the pillow
I feel you cold, I see you heartless

. . .


You said you 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?

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 out 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
You never were
It was all sympathy and simple words of 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, its 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 are 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 are getting higher
We can still survive
Above the waves
I should've known the tides are getting higher
I should've known the tides are 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 (Goodbye)
And now your 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
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
I walk this road alone
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
Lay your guns down let me die (scars)
Why can't you just let me die (don't)
Lay your guns down let me die (heal)
Why can't you just let me die (when)
Lay your guns down let me die (you keep)
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting
Always cutting
Cutting deeper
Always deeper
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting

. . .


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

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

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
