Intro
-------- x2
Verse 1
So the light now
is my weapon
Like a bush dried
withered in the sun
With this spark I'll
go up in flames
I lay my guns
down but they're
too small to see
It's kinda cute how
I resent to be
Everything but the
instrument I am
Chorus
Embrace the empti--ness
So let it enfold you
A better life is
what I am after
My first name won't
be my last one
Let the light just
drip into your eyes
Verse 2
So it's true my
words are contrived
I tell lies just to
get into your mind
I'm as fake as a
widow's smile
This mask of glass
is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever
have the need to bear
To tell the truth
to anyone but me
(Repeat Chorus)
Breakdown Growl:
And I am dead your
eyes are light
Interlude
D--F#m--G--A--
Bridge
I'm just a bad actor
stuck with a shitty script
All of my lines are
cheap and the cast is weak
There was no music for
the first time I got kissed
There was no femme fatal
my mistress wasn't rich
So I've been formatted
to fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape
I'll bow out quietly
So quietly
So quietly
Outro
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
(Please save me please save me)
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
(Please save me please save me)
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash the shore in weeks
(You can't save me can't save)
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash the shore in weeks
(You can't save me can't save me now
