Crocodile tears Lipstick traces A fallen angel Nameless faces Shall we dance in this darkness forever? Don't be afraid, come take my hand. We look at ourselves in the mirror. Please join me in this dance of the damned. Deep dark secret Such bad intentions Night was falling Beguiled by your smile Shall we dance in this darkness forever? Don't be afraid, come take my hand. We look at ourselves in the mirror. Please join me in this dance of the damned. Shall we dance in this darkness forever? Don't be afraid, come take my hand. We look at ourselves in the mirror. This faithful journey, the dance of the damned.

In the darkness of my deepest obsession. You lurk waiting for me, like a deathbed confession. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. (slow march, lost out of time) Like a lost child in the pretentious simulation. (slow march, lost out of time) Don't let it all fall out of your mouth, just to pursued to my conviction. (slow march, lost out of time) You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. (slow march, lost out of time) They say love, isn't it a shame? This is my transgression. (slow march, lost out of time) When the darkness surrounds you, Lightning strikes three times. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart. You will always break my heart. You will always tear me apart.

Garden...Garden of Eden...That we call home...Is in endless torture...all because of you... Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Garden of Eden...Planet of blue...Broken like the heart of a jilted bride...Worn and tarnished...Grab for the brass ring...Always knowing that it changes nothing... Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. It took us so long...To get this far...Is it so wrong...To want to have all...Now crucified like Jesus Christ...Nailed to his cross... Nailed to his cross...Ripped down and pissed upon. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Open your eyes

Collect your pound of flesh... It's all in the roll of the dice... Be careful what you wish for... All that glitters is not gold... Disaster in the making... Under a blanket of indifference... A heart With no mercy... A delicate little flower... It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway The calm before the storm... Like a lamb to the slaughter... Just like a raging inferno... A dagger to the heart of gold... Shadows in the twilight... Waking to a nightmare... Restless as the wind... As if nothing had happened at all... It doesn't matter anyway It doesn't matter anyway

Will they come for me still? Will They Come for me again? Yea, I don't know how, and I don't know when. This has become all a part of me. This stupid itch, Just inside of me. Can I, will I, will I be the same again? Will I, will I, will I feel the same? I cannot forget all the things that I have done. Or this seething monster that I have become. How can I stay and keep my sanity? With this terrible thing, that grows inside of me? Will I, will I, will I, feel this way again? Will I, will I, will I, be the same again? Can I, will I, will I be the same again? Will I, will I, will I feel the same? You could be my salvation, all alone in this world.. Nothing with you, is everything, My upside-down girl. But these feelings, they are still the same. Yeah, all of the fear and all of the pain. Every subtle twitch, everything is for you. Now I don't know, I don't know what to do! Will I, will I, will I, feel this way again? Will I, will I, will I, be the same again? Can I, will I, will I be the same again? Will I, will I, will I feel the same? You could be my salvation, all alone in this world. Nothing with you, is everything, My upside-down girl. You could be my salvation, all alone in this world. Nothing with you, is everything, My upside-down girl. Nothing with you, is everything, My upside-down girl.

You have to go where they tell you... you have to feel the burn through and though... you must believe me when I say, It doesn't matter any way... You have to go to hell and back... You have to feel this heart attack... you have to Know the things I know... you'll be burred in your hole... Die, in the name of the father. This bottle is my only friend. Die in the name of the father. Jesus, where the hell have you been? You have to feel what I feel... The only winner in this deal... you point your finger at the moon... It strikes the hour of your doom... You have to turn your life around.. You'll b bleeding on the ground... you have to see into my soul... you'll be burred in your hole... Die, in the name of the father. This bottle is my only friend. Die in the name of the father... Jesus, where the hell have you been? Die, in the name of the father. This bottle is my only friend. Die in the name of the father. Jesus, where the hell have you been?

We are what we are... We cannot change that so far... Has it all come down to this... Has it all come down to just one kiss... I cannot go on feeling like this... I must go away without this... The way you move girl, those eyes those lips... You've got me under your spell with just one kiss. I want to share this with you... Nothing else will ever do... I just can't believe... Nothing is just, what it seems to be... Has my blue sky turned to black... What the question is, and where its at... The way you move girl, those thighs those hips... You've got me under your spell with just one kiss. Just one kiss! I will not throw it away, I take it every day, I think what else can I say, I just throw it away... i'm getting down on my knees, I'm begging baby please, I want much more than I need, there'll be more days like these... I do not want any more than this, how can I go on with just one kiss. I do not want any more than this, how can I go on with just one kiss. You got me under your spell with just one k

Welcome to my world. you're such a lovely girl. I'll take you to my room its not too soon jeteme boku. You're the sunshine and the rain. Blood coursing through my veins I've never met a girl like you before. What are we waiting for? ...And I Just want to love you. I just want to love you. You're the nightmare inside my head. You're the monster under my bed. you are the darkness at the end of my perfect day. you make me so afraid. Welcome to my world. you're such a perfect girl. you're the sing-song that i sang all out of tune. don't you know its all for you? And, I just want to love you. I just want to love you.
