Tales Of A Scorched Earth

Original Lyrics

Farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights

And let me be, let me die inside

Let me know the way from of this world of hate in you

Cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back

And we’re all dead yeah we’re all dead

Inside the 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

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

To save me the wasted, 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 my hopes there are no feelings

If I believe, if I decieve, if I defend you now that way

Would you believe, could you recieve, could you have faith

No one is is ever gone

And time is everything and I have none

Everybody’s lost just waiting to be found

Everyone’s 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

Farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights

And let me be, let me die inside

Let me know the way from of this world of hate in you

Cause the dye is cast, and the bitch is back

And we're all dead yeah we're all dead

Inside the 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

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

To save me the wasted, 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 my hopes there are no feelings

If I believe, if I decieve, if I defend you now that way

Would you believe, could you recieve, could you have faith

No one is is ever gone

And time is everything and I have none

Everybody's lost just waiting to be found

Everyone's 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
