Let the Record Show

Lyrics

[Intro: Emilie Autumn, Inkydust] How's that? Good [Verse 1] Turning tricks with absent guile Reeling in your crooked smile Why did I turn to you? I only wanted a hand to pour my heart into And now I'll bump my grind through another night Lose my mind in another fight Why did I turn to you? I only gave you a chance to prove the rumors true [Pre-Chorus] And now I'm paying with my Paying with my life I'm paying with my life My life My life [Chorus] So let the record show that you murdered me In your coldest blood with your own two hands Don't think no one understands It happens every day [Verse 2] Working life like a burlesque show Get them off and they'll let you go Why did I turn to you? I only turned out to be just one more girl you slew And now I'll bump my grind through another Lose my mind in another Why, why, why, why? I only gave you a chance to prove the rumors true [Pre-Chorus] And now I'm paying with my Paying with my life I'm paying with my life My life My life [Chorus] So let the record show that you murdered me In your coldest blood with your own two hands Don't think no one understands It happens every day [Post-Chorus] You're jealous, oh You're jealous, why? It's a simple excuse for a complex crime So write this on your soul, but don't waste my time [Bridge] If I'm going down, then I'm going down good If I'm going down, then I'm going down clean If I'm going down, then I'm going down The prettiest broken girl you've ever seen If I'm going down, then I'm going down good If I'm going down, then I'm going down clean If I'm going down, then I'm going The prettiest wretched whore you've ever seen But while I breathe I've got no evidence to prove my end And so you'll walk away? Nope, wrong again! [Chorus] So let the record show that you murdered me In your coldest blood with your own two hands Don't think no one understands It happens every day [Post-Chorus] You're jealous, oh You're jealous, why? It's a simple excuse for a complex crime So write this on your soul [Chorus] And let it show that you murdered me In your coldest blood with your own two hands Don't think no one understands It happens every day [Post-Chorus] You're jealous, oh You're jealous, why? It's a simple excuse for a complex crime So write this on your soul, but don't waste my time
