She paints a pretty picture we can all adore She's covered in razor lines and dynamite You've shown me how to dissect your beating heart And just how far these fake smiles can go So glamorous (shattered like glass) Fingers shoved to the back of your throat For a little sex appeal, heaving Don't forget to call the ambulance when your body hits the floor So fucking perfect Your execution will be televised You threw it all away for a piece of the action Vanity assassin With cuts like a diamond and wrapped in plastic
The whole world is crushing on you The whole world is watching you die Enjoy living on top of the world When you die knowing you lived your life on your knees Die knowing you lived your life on your knees
The lies are hard to spread thin But it's so easy to control Weakness is your savior, But there's nothing left to save This is family tradition passed on in fear Unconditional love for a fuckin' stranger? Nails driven in me, for I have sinned Your ambition bleeds on a cross Security bleeds on a cross Your hope bleeds on a cross Your life bleeds on a cross I'd kill for nothing, you'll die for anything Easier said than done, so easy to take the fall A scapegoat for all your insecurities Excuse me;a hero;a man made god; For all your insecurities Walk that sunday tightrope
When the safety net fails who will you follow? Another sheep has fallen Bleed your choices made, with security in mind A scapegoat for all your insecurities Excuse me;a hero;a man made god; For all your insecurities And when the last savior is destroyed I'll dust myself off and just walk away As you've taught me, as you've tought us all A prayer for the dying, a prayer for you The hopeless
Fall to your knees, fall to your weakness It has become your standard Consuming every word Meaningless words from meaningless sentences Where is the message? Where is the progress? I will separate the past from the past I cannot repeat the same mistakes we used to Shed another tear as I stab you in the chest With pieces of your broken heart Fuck your broken heart Why can't you let this die? Let this die Similarities complete comparison (compare yourself to me) To create the stagnant birth of this standstill, step back Screaming your hymns of heartache At the top of your lungs and in vain This bandwagon is on it's last leg How long will you beat this dead horse?
I have no compassion as a witness to your demise Yes, she does bleed Color me misery Color me beautiful Shake the hand of repetition slow Serenade me with a love song (bullshit) Tragedy of emotion barely breathing Yes, she does bleed We don't dance anymore I don't love anymore
These are the days The days we speak with serpent tongues These days we fall through the ice and drown As you have done this time The water fills your lungs and you suffocate (once more) Suffocate tragically Bleed for me There is no forgiveness There is no second chance
Destroy my opinion of you and your self-worth With just one single word (no)
Parade in bright lights I wish you were here, holding my breath Tonite is perfect for bloodletting But I'm alone again It looks like christmas time Bite my lip and tears fill my I'll carry on, I'm better off living without you No one to pull me under, this time I'm pulling through I feel like falling apart Everything beautiful dies So I kiss it goodbye
Sever my life from yours The parade comes to town Everybody gather around I love the way you smile in the nite.

Force-fed youth watch crippled america Dependent on things not seen in black and white Responsibility is a dying art form Everything is out of (gun) control "From my cold dead hands" you said Throw your gift into the fire Into the fire of apathy You play the role again and again Smoke your last hope although you're dead Manufactured stupidity This image beaten into a child easily led to do the same Television is your crutch Fear is your god Is this all you're worth? A wasted opportunity
You sold yourself short You sald yourself Throw your gift into the fire Into the fire of apathy You play the fool again and again I'll be here to clean you up I'll be here to clean up your body This is the death of apathy
