Last night you told me you slit your wrist
You couldn't break the thought that you would not be missed
It's not the same discussion when my back's against the wall
It's not like how it was before we started to fall
I won't walk with you again
I'll just wait til hell begins
I won't walk this path again
Until the night that hell ascends
You're empty minded
Fucking empty minded
"Tomorrow will be better" the lie we always hear
I don't wanna be here in this place when you are near
The blood drips from your veins and it pours into mine
What's dead is not forgotten but is always lost in time
I won't walk with you again
I'll just wait til hell begins
I won't walk this path again
Until the night that hell ascends
You're empty minded
Fucking empty minded
Before we drown in this smiling abyss
I hope everything you love about me dies with this kiss
Kill the day and seize its soul
Carpe noctum; take control
When everything is bleeding and my heart is black
I hope you wake up dead, depressed and on your back
After everything you've done; and everyone else
I have to learn to love myself so I can fuck myself

More Than Myself

Lovely like the winter falls
Its glory darker than my dreams
The sudden loneliness creeps along my path
Littered black with leaves
Broken like the fallen branches lie
Corroded smile, torn apart with time
Wind, rain and tears come shining through this veil
Meant to make you shine
I want to save you more than myself
To show you that there's so much more to living
I want to save you more than myself
Even if it kills me
Let us lather the blood-stained victory march
Envisioned warm within our minds
Creep inside your future; show me what your heart; slowly dies to find
I'll dry your eyes with sandpaper hands
Lift you up and bring you down from grace
Please fallen angel, won't you show me that this world is your place?
I want to save you more than myself
To show you that there's so much more to living
I want to save you more than myself
Even if it kills me

Angel's Kiss

Quit saying you're alone and lie with me here
The night's falling down around us, so tell me that you're near
The blood wants to run tonight, don't let it have its wish
Just lie down, this time around
Give me my angels kiss
So please come and tell me what it's like to fear
With everyone and everything forging you your tears
Love died in absolution, so tell me it's alright
It's not alright. It's not alright
But you're so pretty, but you''l never, ever heal
No matter what they tell you, darling, I'll always be here
When you found me dead up in the clouds, your choir saved my life
Baby, watch me come alive and I'll show you how we die
You drive too fast for me
We don't want anyone to know what it's like to be free
But I found freedom drunken on the floor
It was ours until someone had to lock the fucking door
As we wash the blood from your scarlet catharsis
Locked inside your head
We'll suffer forever in dawn eternal, and lost within your bed
Well, sometimes I feel like I'm just a burden
And most of the time, I just wish I was dead
But nothing short of this silent sunset
Has made me feel this bad

Survive

The angels die in your eyes
They all fall down
Angels fall between my arms
Into the ground
You don't have to die
You will survive
I won't hide under this shroud anymore
I will move on
Baby, and you'll drink my blood
Hold down the things that end my love
Joy is what I'll sing to you
As we burn and burn
You don't have to die
You will survive
I won't hide under this shroud anymore
I will move on
Should've known that I won't sleep tonight
Among these things
Watch my departed soul drip from my veins
Kinda like a vampire dies; trying to hold on
Even if I die, you'll be alright
If I; I have to die
So tell me the truth sweetheart...
Do you really wanna die?

Wait And See
04:47

Blood is flowing violent from the inside
Heartache and hatred; tell me who's here to die
Follow a burning star across the wasteland
Suffer for the sinners to see their light
But does he even love you?
Does he care as much as me?
I guess we'll never know how perfect we could be
The serenity of the outcasts is like an oceanic breeze
Caught lost in a mournful daze; fighting in vain among the seas
I know you're broken
You can't hide it from me
Are we broken?
We'll have to wait and see
I know you're broken
Forever lost at sea
Are we broken?
We'll have to wait and see
Voices are telling me to go and end it
Tempting and fatal when you're living in shit
Lamplight is sacred; (We're moving into dusk now)
Hiding in the shadows of a tempest blackened
By everything you ever said
I know you're close to death now
You're trying not to be what they think you should be
To him instead of me
