You could never be my envy.
You could never be my jealousy.
You could never be my envy.
You could never be my jealousy.
A world without you is a world I could only wish for.
A world with out is a world I'd fucking die for.
You've taken everything...
Poison and despise lay in rampant wake in the shadows you have created
We've been left to drown in an endless tide of apathy
You disgust me
The guise of a true murderer
Killing with a smile
As your cyanide lips rip us apart
Now there'll be no forgiveness
‘cause this is.... this is the end'
A world without you is a world I could only wish for,
And a world without you is a world I'd fucking die for.
So I'll hold that pretty face beneath the surface
Until your lungs hold nothing but the affliction you've created
This world is wasted on your life
Through evils eyes I've seen your soul betrayed
I'll watch you fucking drown
So I'll hold your pretty face beneath the surface
Until your lungs hold nothing
There'll be no forgiveness, no forgiveness

. . .


Your warm embrace has been replaced by cold
And those defiant eyes have fallen
Broken by the floor
Another rain-streaked face
Left alone to drown in malice
And your bleeding heart can only heal so much
We can't weather this storm of longing
And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past

Can you hear your crying wish?
Because your prayers remain answer-less
Your prayers remain
In sweet decay
Your prayers remain
In this sweet decay

Your love failed me
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Could never carry your fractured world

So just throw it all away
Your love is lost on us
Just throw is all away
Your love is lost on us

. . .


The day light's gone
The empty streets echo our past and the days that once were so beautiful
Before now
Before us
So save yourself
'Cause all dreams are gone
And all hope has faded
And as the sunlight fails I watch this world slip away
And we smiled as we betrayed ourselves
And a clear sky is only a distant memory
Our worst intentions carried away on the evening breath
Everything we lived for draws our final thought around our necks
Your faces lies still
I cant see your breath and its freezing my blood until the end
One more time one more line
What is this hell
Reminisce to the beginning of everything
But The irony alone would kill me
Ten thousand hearts set to silence for the choice of one
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn before my eyes
Cause all dreams are gone
And all hope has faded
And as sunlight fails I watch this world slip away
Your face lies still
I can't see your breath and it's freezing my blood until the end
Ten thousand hearts sent to silence for the choice of one
End it all with the touch of a switch and I can see our lives burn
I can see our lives
I can see our lives burn
Your face lies still
I can't see your breath and its freezing my blood until the end
As we just let it slip away

. . .


The incisions in your wrist were all for show.
Just like you.
The epitome of self indulgence.
Another farce.
A charade and another set of crocodile tears.
So serenade her with your last pathetic suicide love song.
"Broken hearts never mend".
But fools never move on.
And now she's gone because of you.
And once again you're the epitome of pure self destruction.
Cupid never found his mark.
As we await the insertion of blades on flesh.
You part the skin and tell of blades on blood.
So part the fucking skin.
To tell the blades on blood.
She said I love you
She said...
She said goodbye.
So cry me a fucking river bitch.
You wouldn't know love if it crushed your fucking chest.
Let go.
You wouldn't know love if it crushed your fucking chest.
"razors, roses and a black tomorrow"
They never showed any affection to anything but your ego.
A tragedy of errors at the best of times.
You are everything that's wrong with me.
You are everything that I despise.
You are everything I dreamed would die.
You are everything that fades away and slowly dies.
Will you bleed for me when suicide seems so yesterday?
Will you bleed for me?
Will you fucking bleed for me when suicide...
It's so yesterday.
It's all so fucking yesterday

. . .


I saw the disappointment from across your face
A mark of solitude
So here's to giving in
Your eyes have betrayed you
And I'll wear this mask of disgust for every day I've met you
Disarm with a smile
Your eyes betrayed me

String me another line as your knife severs my spine
The blackness of your heart has spread beneath your skin
And as your new face runs, I count the seconds 'til you're gone
As your new face runs, I count the seconds until you're fucking gone

Hold this allegiance with the hearts of apathy
We cannot breathe from your choking hands
Mark this hour of hopelessness with burning bodies
Returning for your heart
Returning for your fucking heart
Murder is on the air tonight

. . .


Tragedy.
Another day lies broken and lost.
A shattered life cuts the pulse of acceptance.
And all I want is to be something more then this.
Another day lies broken and lost.
A shattered life cuts the pulse of Acceptance.
And all I want is to be anything but this.
Sleepless nights spent screaming for answers.
Cursing sweet venom at a wretched future.
An open casket stained with hope.
Laced with deceit and treachery.
An existence I only wish to forget.
Why do I always regret?
Those words leave the taste of blood.
Forget my face.
Just bury everything.
Why do I always let it go?
‘cause I've let it slip away between my finger tips.
I've tried so fucking hard and still I could never gain a true understanding.
Chocking at our misery.
Splinters of failure cut like glass.
And I'm sick of just pouring myself out into careless hands.
Choking on our misery.
Splinters of failure cut like glass.
But I'll put it to rest tonight in the hope that maybe I wont have to wake.
Ill put it all to rest tonight.
Forget my face

. . .


If looks could kill.
You would be a fucking shotgun.
Against my head so fucking cold.
Picture perfect and pathetic.
I would so love to hang you.
Cat got your tongue?
Selling yourself short again?
Your selling yourself short again.
Bare your insecurities.
I want to see you cry.
I want to see your tears.
Why did you throw your heart away.
Why did you let yourself down?
Why did you throw your heart away.
Why did you let yourself down time and again.
Why did you throw your heart away.
So taste the skin and let your heartbeat slow.
Feel you bleeding away.
Lifeless.
Why did you let yourself down.
Why did you throw your heart away.
That cheap fucking smile carries you to bed.
And those lips are social suicide but I just want to see you dead.
You're like a shotgun baby.
Pointed at my head.
And those lips are suicide but I just want to see you dead.

. . .


After everything you've done.
After your second face failed.
This time theres nothing left to save.
And your words were broken.
With the touch of vipers you set your words upon my back.
Spitting daggers you can't kill those already dead.
Buried beneath a pile of one liners and cheap attempts at honesty.
Buried so fucking far from your worthless lies.
And the fire.
The fire to cleanse your mouth.
You'll never awake from your hell and for a second you almost had me fooled.
Keep walking.
Keep breathing.
Keep cursing our names.
We're plotting your end by the dawn.
We're apparitions that stalk your every turn.
We're death incarnate to cleanse you from this world.
Midnight.
Until I see your face again.
Until I end this loveless dance.
Midnight.
Until I see you fucking scream.
And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood we'll dig your grave.
We'll dig your fucking grave.
Until I see you face again.
Until I end this loveless dance.
Midnight.
Until I see you fucking scream.
And until I see the moonlight shine with your blood.
Midnight.
Until I see you face again.
Until I end this loveless dance.
Midnight.
Until I see you fucking scream.
And until I see the moonlight shine red.

. . .


Fuck the memories
We're dead at every turn
So spin your fucking shit
And we'll die with every twist of tongue

Your hollow gaze has shifted past my eyes
Another dead face fades away
Now what's left to take?
Another day I regret your memory
In my mind you will never be more than this

So what's left to fucking take?
Now my trust is gone
As your world comes crashing down
I'm going to watch it fucking burn

Everything we hate lies in pieces
Everything we hate fucking dies... tonight
Through those deceiving eyes, I've seen the blackest heart
The blackest heart
Everything you love fucking dies tonight

. . .


Die
Die
Die
Die
Thoughts replaced by a placid romance
Without movement, I can't escape
Die
Searching through the static
Twisted and torn inside of
Such blinding visions of destruction
So I have to question
Was this in the master plan?
Now a broken future's all that we hold
Broken
Broken
Our broken future is all that we hold
Our day draws
To its close
To its close yeah
1, 2, 3 go
Dusk
Washes away
Integrity now bleeds away
As tired hearts are left to drain
Integrity now bleeds away
As tired hearts are left to drain
Do you see their faces when you fall asleep at night?
Do you see their faces when you fall asleep at night?
Now they're nothing more than blood stained memories [memories]
Blood stained memories
Blood stained memories

. . .


Sever.
And step forward.
I will separate myself from you.
I will walk this line unassisted and undeterred.
Sever.
Sever the strings.
I'll cast aside your uniform
Your focus shifted too much for me to not question.
Your sincerity.
To manufacture misery.
Everything you ever wanted.
Everything you ever knew.
Everything yo ever lust for will be taken from you.
Your reflection.
Ghost of a beauty queen.
Plagued with fashion.
And stain our mouths with worthless deception.
You're a plastic perfection.
We'll burn you to the ground.
Everything you ever wanted.
Everything you ever knew.
Everything you ever lust for will be taken from you.
Everything you ever knew.
Everything you ever lust for will be taken from your heart.
When did this all become so meaningless?
As to your second skin.
Now the wolves become nothing more that sheep.
We set flame these apathetic trends.
Set flame the paths that have led us astray for to long.
Set flame the paths that have led us astray for the last time.
Burn.
All bets are off.
I'll watch the heartless burn.
Tomorrow dawn will be alight with our burning bridges.
All bets are off.
I'll watch the heartless burn.
Tomorrow dawn will be alight through seasons change I've watched you waste away.
Shed your skin and become.
Reach inside your chest and remove what's left of your blackened heart.
Through the seasons change I've watched you waste away.
And become one with the damned.
You lust for.
Reach inside your chest and remove what's left of your blackened heart with distain.
