Lyrics

[Verse 1] Farewell, goodnight, last one out turn out the lights And let me be, let me die inside Let me know the way through this world of hate in you 'Cause the die is cast and the bitch is back And we're all dead, yeah, we're all dead [Pre-Chorus 1] Inside the future Of a shattered past, yeah, yeah [Chorus] I'd lie just to be real And I'd die just to feel Why do the same old things Keep on happening? 'Cause beyond my hopes There are no feelings, yeah [Verse 2] Bless the martyrs and kiss the kids For knowing better, for knowing this 'Cause you're all whores and I'm a fag And I've got no mother and I've got no dad [Pre-Chorus 2] To save me from the wasted Save me from myself, yeah, yeah [Chorus] I'd lie just to be real And I'd die just to feel Why do the same old things Keep on happening? 'Cause beyond my hopes There are no feelings, no [Bridge] If I believe, if I deceive, if I defend you now that way Would you believe, could you receive, could you have faith? No one is, is ever gone And time is everything and I have none [Verse 3] Everyone's lost just waitin' to be found And everyone's a thought just waitin' to fade So fuck it all, 'cause I don't care So what, somehow, somewhere we dared [Pre-Chorus 3] To try to dare To dare for a little more, yeah, yeah [Chorus] I'd lie just to be real And I'd die just to feel Why do the same old things Keep on happening? 'Cause beyond my hopes There are no feelings, yeah
