BITTER
WHEN THE NIGHT IS GETTING' OLD AND THE AIR IS GETTING' COLDER
YOU KNOW I'LL NEVER FOLD UP - I TURN MY BACK ON FEAR
AS I LIE AWAKE ALONE AND THE VOICES COME TO TAUNT ME
EVERY NIGHT ANOTHER HAUNTING - DRIVING ME BEYOND MY YEARS
WHEN SLEEP FINALLY FLIES ME AWAY
UNDER CRIMSON CLOUDS OF PAIN
ALL MY REGRETS HAVE TAKEN SHAPE
AS BITTER TEARS THAT FALL LIKE RAIN
HEY - I THINK I'M READY
TO CONFRONT THE THINGS IN LIFE WHICH ARE HAUNTING ME
HEY - IF IT TAKES ME ALL MY DAYS
I'LL DRIVE AWAY THE BITTER TEARS OF PAIN
PHANTOMS OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
NOW COME TO TEMPT MY SOUL TO SIN
DARK PURPLE MOUNTAINS OF MISERY
BRING THE WEIGHT OF MY PAST ON ME
HEY - I THINK I'M READY
TO CONFRONT THE THINGS IN LIFE WHICH ARE HAUNTING ME
HEY - IF IT TAKES ME ALL MY DAYS
I'LL DRIVE AWAY THE BITTER TEARS OF PAIN
SO TIRED OF THE PAIN
THE NEVER-ENDING STRAIN
IT'S TIME I MADE THE CHANGE
IT'S TIME TO REARRANGE
HEY - I KNOW I'M READY
TO CONFRONT THE THINGS IN LIFE WHICH ARE HAUNTING ME
HEY - IF IT TAKES ME ALL MY DAYS
I'LL DRIVE AWAY THE BITTER TEARS OF PAIN
DEAD ALREADY
CRAWLIN' THROUGH YOUR MIND
A CANCER ON THE INSIDE
SPREADING SICKNESS 'TIL NO LIFE REMAINS
YOU LET ME GAIN A FOOTHOLD
NOW I'LL NEVER LET GO
I WILL CHOKE YOUR SPIRIT DOWN TO ITS LAST BREATH
YOU ARE DEAD ALREADY
I'M JUST PLACING PENNIES ON YOUR EYES
I'M THE IMMORAL
THE ONE CORRUPTING YOUR SOUL
BUT MY WORK'S MADE EASIER WITH SOME HELP FROM YOU
YOUR FEAR OF LIVING
LED YOU TO YOUR END
WHAT IS LIFE MY FRIEND WHEN YOU ONLY LOOK TO DEATH ?
YOU ARE DEAD ALREADY
I'M JUST PLACING PENNIES ON YOUR EYES
BROKEN
DYING
ROTTING
YOUR LIFE IS NOTHING
BROKEN
DYING
ROTTING
YOUR LIFE IS NOTHING
NEVER LOST
ALL THROUGH LIFE* WHATEVER I'VE BEEN DEALT
I'VE TAKEN IT IN STRIDE AND I'VE ALWAYS FELT
SURE OF MYSELF* CONFIDENT WITH PRIDE
RODE THROUGH IT ALL* GROUNDED FROM INSIDE
ALWAYS
EVEN THROUGH* THE ADVERSITY
I NEVER LET THE PAIN BREAK THE WILL IN ME
IT MADE ME STRONGER* SET MORE MY BELIEFS
ALL I HAVE IS WHAT I AM
AND THAT'S ALL I'LL NEVER NEED
ALWAYS
STAND YOUR GROUND* WITH YOUR SELF INTACT
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH LOVE
IT ALWAYS COMES BACK
ALWAYS
ALWAYS
BLEED YOU
SOMETIMES I WANNA CUT MYSELF
SO YOU'LL FLOW OUT OF MY VEINS
THE KISS THAT TAINTED MY BLOOD
IS BEATING DOWN MY HEART AGAIN
I WANT TO BLEED YOU FROM MY HEART
I WANT TO BLEED YOU FROM MY VEINS
I WANT TO KILL YOU IN MY MIND
I WANT TO BLEED AWAY THE PAIN
THESE DAYS THE COLORS FADE TO GRAY
ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS THAT MELT AWAY
LOST SOUL IN TURMOIL, CRYING OUT
I'M WRENCHING OUT MY GUTS AGAIN
I WANT TO BLEED YOU FROM MY HEART
I WANT TO BLEED YOU FROM MY VEINS
I WANT TO KILL YOU IN MY MIND
I WANT TO BLEED AWAY THE PAIN
WHY WON'T YOU DIE ?
