A warning sign,

you came back to haunt me, and I realized...

Lay beside me, under wicked sky,

through black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives.

"Lay beside me, tell me what they've done."

"...Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run."

The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true.

"Come make me pure,

bleed me a cure."

Truly thought I could heal you,

make it right for you, Sleeping Beauty.

Drunk on ego, truly thought I could make it right

if I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare.

"If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you."

Caught under the wheels that roll
I take the leech, I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul,
I take the leash that's leading me

I'm bleeding me I can't take it
Caught under the wheel's roll
The bleeding of me

"I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
...to know that you're mine

I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
I'm drowning on fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true,
someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talkin'
You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart,
and tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see...
you're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me, and I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sink ships for you,
Take the cross for you
Make me a part of you
Because I believe in you..

...I believe in you..
..I would die for you."

"...The truth is...I miss you.

Yeah, the truth is...I miss you so...

And I’m tired..I should not have let you go."

The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through.

Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through.

"So I crawl back into your arms.

Yes, I crawl back into your arms,

and I crawl back into your arms.

Yes, I crawl back into your open arms."

...And it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel,

was just a freight train coming your way.

(On my death bed, I will pray

to the gods and the angels

like a pagan, to anyone who will take me to heaven.)

Delusional I believed I could cure it all for you, dear;

coax or trick or drive or drag the demons from you.

"The sky was bruised,

the world was black...

and there you led me on."

Caught under the wheels that roll
I take the leech, I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul...

I'm digging my way..

I'm digging my way to something..

I'm digging my way to somethin' better.

I'm bleeding me, I can't take it, the bleeding of me.

I'll save my soul.

I am the beast

that feeds the beast.

I am the blood, I am release.
