Saint Veronika (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Can I get everybody just to take one step back From each other, just take one step back Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, there we go, thank you [Verse 1] They found an empty bottle on her windowsill The day her mother lost her sleeping pills She was sick and tired of being invisible Hard to see in color when you're miserable [Chorus] Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So be strong enough to hold onto us We're still right here by your side [Verse 2] No one ever thought that she was capable And the damage done is irreversible Now she clings to life inside a hospital Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall Always said her life was never meant to be Oh, stuck here living someone else's dream But beyond your window there is so much more Even every prison has a open door [Chorus] Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So be strong enough to hold onto us It's just not your time to die [Bridge] Go! Hey! And while- the angels sleep! All of the devils are awake Waiting to- steal your love! Oh, right outside of Heaven's gate And all the- the sacred hearts! Can't numb this feeling from the pain 'Cause when the- drugs don't work! You're gonna curse his holy name Dear God! Oh, God! Oh, dear God! Oh, God! [Interlude] Oh, Veronika- Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind [Chorus] Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So be strong enough to hold onto us We're still right here by your side Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika It's just not your time to die [Outro] Yah, yeah, yeah, hey! [Spoken] Dankeschön! I don't normally do this type of shit Because I think it's pretty cheesy, uh But, uh, I think in this situation It might actually work really well Uh, is it possible for all of you to like Light your phones up, you know Like they do that at like big pop concerts, yeah Stuff like that, because this song is about, eh Leaving this earth and this plane and Transitioning to another one, up into the stars Oh, that is so, that's so beautiful
