tales of a scorched earth

farewell goodnight

last one out turn out the light

and let me be

let me die inside

let me know the way through this world of hate

and you



cause' the dye is cast

and the bitch is back

and we're all dead, yeah, we're all dead

inside a future of a shattered past



i lie just to be real

and i'd die just to feel

why do the same old things keep on happening

because beyond my hopes there are no feelings



so 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

so save me the wasted and save me from myself



i lie just to be real

and i'd die just to feel

why do the same old things keep on happening

because beyond me hopes there are no feelings



if i believe

if i deceive

if i defend you now that way

would you believe

would you receive

could you have faith

no one is ever gone

and time is everything

and i have none



everyone is lost just waiting to be found

everyone is a thought just waiting to fade



so fuck it all cause' i don't care

so what somehow somewhere we dared

to try to dare to dare for a little more



i lie just to be real

and i'd die just to feel

why do the same old things keep on happening

because beyond my hopes there are no reasons
