Track Lyrics
Bleeding Mascara (instrumental) Lyrics
[Intro]
Go!
Aah!
[Verse 1]
A wraith with an angel's body
A demon with a smile of gold
You soul-sucker
I won't become like you
A killer with the perfect weapons
Crystal eyes and a heart of coal
You soul-sucker
I won't lose myself in you
[Chorus]
Look how pretty she is
When she falls down
Now, there's no beauty in
Bleeding mascara
Lips are quivering
Like a withering rose
She's back again
[Verse 2]
What the fuck do you think love means?
It's more than words and more than feelings
Sucking me dry
Is my marrow that sweet?
Your dead lovers have left
A trail of broken hearts and misspent hopes
Sucking them dry
[Refrain]
Does their marrow taste of sweetness, sweetness?
I hope you choke
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Look how pretty she is
When she falls down
Now, there's no beauty in
Bleeding mascara
Lips are quivering
Like a withering rose
She's back again
[Outro]
She's back a—
She's back again
She's back
You Eclipsed by Me (instrumental) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I began my ascent at minus zero
You made so sure of that
You tried to keep me down here
Your complacency has been your downfall
Nobody made you king of the world
And now I'm here to dethrone
So, kiss the ring, motherfucker
It's my time, my time to shine
Grasping for the straws as they fall
Maybe you make a splint
For your broken ego
For your broken ego
[Chorus]
And I say thank you for the scars
And the guilt and the pain
Every tear I've never cried
Has sealed your fucking fate
Did you take me for a fool
Or were you just too blind to see
That every effort made has failed
And there is no destroying me?
[Verse 2]
Hate can be a positive emotion
When it forces you to better yourself
You built me, constructed my desire
Perfected my hatred
Now I'm driven to be
Ten times better than you think you are
Ten times better
Than you think you are
[Chorus]
Piece by piece, I've built my walls
And burned the bridges down (Ooh)
That lead back to people like you
So full of malice, so full of scorn (Ooh)
You tried your best to crush my spirit
You tried to steal my soul (Ooh)
You pushed my back against the wall
And I broke it down
[Bridge]
I will not be broken
Though I am the one that bleeds
I will not be broken
I am the one
I will not be broken
Though I am the one that bleeds
I will not be broken
I am the one
I will not be broken
Though I am the one that bleeds
I will not be broken
I am the one
[Chorus]
And I say thank you for the scars
And the guilt and the pain
Every tear I've never cried
Has sealed your fucking fate
Did you take me for a fool
Or were you just too blind to see
That every effort made has failed
And there is no destroying me?
[Outro]
There is no destroying me
No, there is no destroying me
The Crimson (instrumental) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel it welling up inside
And Robert Smith lied
Boys do cry
And with blood tears in my eyes
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
I can't hide the monster anymore
One can only feel desolate for so long
[Verse 2]
Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror doesn't recognize
I metamorphosize
The darkness has been biding its time
To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
To become what I became
I viewed the sun for the last time
[Chorus]
Will you still hold me
When you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
When you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you
[Verse 3]
And it pulses through, the desire to change
To deconstruct all of my
All of my past failings
But where to begin?
Because when you live in sin
It's hard to look at saints
Without them reflecting
Your jet-black auras back on you
[Pre-Chorus]
And all I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
I'll wipe the blood from my cheek
And get on with my day
[Chorus]
Will you still hold me
When you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
When you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you
[Bridge 1]
And all I have is hope, and all I need is time
To bury in pine under six feet of time
The lies I told me about myself
Claw my way out
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails
I won't lose hope, I won't give in
[Bridge 2]
Just live and breathe and try not to die again
Just live and breathe and try not to die again
Just live and breathe and try not to die again
I try not to die again
[Chorus]
Will you still hold me
When you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
When you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you
Will you still hold me
When you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
When you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you
The Remembrance Ballad (instrumental) Lyrics
[Intro]
These days are closing in
The end has become apparent
We're only here for so long
Will anyone remember my name
When time has washed away
The dust of my ashes?
When my head rests
In a velvet-lined casket?
[Verse 1]
What's out there?
What is my eternal fate?
And it only just recently hit me
That this life is just a state
Mortality fading
Like the innocence of love
I'm scared to death
Of what's to become
[Pre-Chorus]
Of my immortal soul
Of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
[Chorus]
Who calls out my name? (My name)
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close
For the last time? (My eyes close)
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness? (Does it end?)
And what of my soul?
What of my soul?
[Verse 2]
All those things that you couldn't say
You should've said (You should've said)
All those "I love you's" lost
Weighed more like lead on your chest (Lead on your chest)
All those things that you couldn't say
You should've said (You should've said)
All those "I love you's" lost
Weighed more like lead on your chest
What of?
[Pre-Chorus]
Of my immortal soul
Of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
[Chorus]
Who calls out my name? (My name)
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close
For the last time? (My eyes close)
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness? (Does it end?)
And what of my soul?
What of my soul?
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
If I could take back
All those misspent days
Every second of anger
I would wash my sins away
[Chorus]
Who calls out my name? (My name)
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close
For the last time? (My eyes close)
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness? (Does it end?)
And what of my soul?
What of my soul?
Who calls out my name? (My name)
Who can tell me what happens
When my eyes close
For the last time? (My eyes close)
Does it all simply end
In a blanket of darkness? (Does it end?)
And what of my soul?
What of my soul?
Demonology and Heartache (instrumental) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So unaffectionate, so insecure
You claim to know a thing or two about heartache
And what it's like to have your insides pulled out
And I believe you
I see it every time your pallbearer's pallor
Is obscured by the darkness (The darkness)
Dancing across your face (Across your face)
And when the blackness veils your eyes in pain
[Verse 2]
I know what it's like
When memories make you wince
And love letters read like obituaries
And photo albums are the books of the dead
I need no reminders (No more reminders)
I'll forget the past and lay it to rest
[Chorus]
If I had my way, I'd cut
The calluses off your
Off your breaking heart
If I could get past the sternum
Cauterize those wounds
With every kiss I could give to you
I'm holding your heart in my hands
The reason it still beats
[Interlude: Spoken]
Am I being too cryptic?
Am I being too obscure?
Am I being too cryptic?
Am I being too obscure?
[Bridge]
Love kills, romance is dead
And I don't even trust myself, but I love you
And you can pull my wings apart
And pin me down under glass
Until the end of days
If it can help you discover
That we share the same pain
I just hope you write your thesis before
Your subject is dead
No life after death
[Chorus]
If I had my way, I'd cut
The calluses off your
Off your breaking heart
If I could get past the sternum
Cauterize those wounds
With every kiss I could give to you
I'm holding your heart in my hands
The reason it still beats
[Outro]
If I had my way, I'd cut
The calluses off your
Off your breaking heart
If I could get past the sternum
Cauterize those wounds
With every kiss I could give to you
I'm holding your heart in my hands
The reason it still beats
My Sanity on the Funeral Pyre (instrumental) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paranoia is the insect worming its way
Through my subconscious thoughts
It's the larva of my self-doubt
Gestating in my heart as I spiral down
And everything I touch is breaking
And it falls to earth in splinters
And I shiver as every splinter
Finds its way underneath my skin
And after 22 years, I can still make my skin crawl
Every shortcoming's a pitfall
[Pre-Chorus]
On my way
To making amends
Within myself to be
To be what I became
[Chorus]
Sometimes, it feels like the whole wide world
Has made itself my enemy
But I will stand upon my own two feet
And raise, raise my head up
[Verse 2]
I lick my wounds
Trying to cleanse the infection
Rabid and diseased
Reality fades away
When I pushed myself too far
A dream of emotional perfection
Has left a wounded heart
Trying to perceive the gifts inherent inside me
It's like squeezing the trigger
It's like opening fire
[Pre-Chorus]
On everyone
Who's let me down
On every beautiful lie that is
That is only fiction
[Chorus]
Sometimes, it feels like the whole wide world
Has made itself my enemy
But I will stand upon my own two feet
And raise, raise my head up
[Bridge]
For the first time
I'm losing control and I like it
Freedom feels like the noose is gone
For the first time
I'm losing control and I like it
Freedom feels like the noose is gone
[Guitar Solo Outro]
Five Vicodin Chased With a Shot of Clarity (instrumental) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh!
After all this time of asking questions
Of trying to find
Something to quiet this soul
I'm left alone within my mind
Into this self-made hell I dwell
It's not as hot as you think
More so dark and cold
With no room to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry, I don't think it's going to be okay this time
My heart has skipped its final beat
It's beating me down onto the floor
That must mean that the pills are working
[Chorus]
The glass isn't half empty this time
I smashed it on the ground
A long, long time ago
It shattered when it fell, and I broke to pieces
Each shard's another reason
Another way to give up
[Verse 2]
This skin is so tight (So tight)
That the air (The air)
Can't reach my brain (My brain)
There is nothing
Telling my heart to beat any faster
To let me scream for help
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry, I don't think it's going to be okay this time
My heart has skipped its final beat
It's beating me down onto the floor
That must mean that the pills are working
[Chorus]
The glass isn't half empty this time
I smashed it on the ground
A long, long time ago
It shattered when it fell, and I broke to pieces
Each shard's another reason
Another way to give up
[Bridge]
I will never give up
I will never take the easy way out
I will never give up
I will never take the easy way out
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
Come on!
[Chorus]
The glass isn't half empty this time
I smashed it on the ground
A long, long time ago
It shattered when it fell, and I broke to pieces
Each shard's another reason
Another way to give up
[Outro]
This is, this is life
This is, this is struggle
This is, this is love
This is, this is war
Oh!
This is, this is life
This is, this is struggle
This is, this is love
This is, this is war
