Using the Guardian as a shield, to cover my thighs against the rain, I do not mind about my hair. Your jacket may be waterproof, but I know the moment you get home you′re gonna get your trousers changed. Failure is always the best way to learn, retracing your steps untill you know, have no fear your wounds will heal. I wish I could travel overground to where all you hear is water sounds, lush as the wind upon a tree. I wish I could travel overground to where all you hear is water sounds, to capture and keep inside of me. Failure is always the best way to lean, retracing your steps untill you know, have no fear your wounds will heal.
I am the heir of the damned kingdom Born into a legacy of regret Searching for the promise of salvation Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay Who would save those who condemn themselves CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior The failure, failure of the devout Set in motion by final sacrifice Change begun in the name of righteousness Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred Once more corrupted by the hands of man Been pulled deep into the chasm By the grip of our desire Must escape the weight of this depression The choices that lead you to dismay The handsome mask of the devil The lure of the cross! Of the dark! You violate the sacred with your greed Prey upon the people′s misery and needs With your greed, with your greed, with your greed! I am the heir of this damned kingdom Born into a life of regret Searching for a promise That′s no longer kept
We used to go out walking hand in hand You told me all the big things you had planned It wasn′t long till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked up on our door And i spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home
If we could share an evening now and then I′m sure we′d find true happiness again You never hold me like you used to do Oh, it′s funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked up on our door And i spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home Success has made a failure of our home
[Spoken] When I think back on this life I guess we were doing the best we could And to look at us from the outside I′m sure it seems somewhat romantic but when you′ve tasted excess Everything else tastes bland Yeah, we had everything to lose But we still lived like we were about to die After all, we were the drug scouts of america
I′ve begun evaporating Right before your eyes I just keep regurgitating My own demise
I miss today I miss the past I miss my veins ′cause they′ve collapsed A simple thought occurs to me
I′m face down on the tracks The train is coming fast And it′s not derailing It′s not the first time And this won′t be the last That my heart is failing
As the blood is rushing to my head And from my wrists I′m in love with all the things I know I should resist
And all the times you said to me Your falling down ones destiny A simple thought occurs to me
I′m face down on the tracks The train is coming fast And you′re right there waiting It′s not the first time And this won′t be the last That my heart is failing
[Spoken] Like I was saying The look in the eyes of death Was intoxicating Taking it into our lungs Laughing at ourselves Where others would probably cry And more importantly I′m proud of this guy Staring face to face with the demons And not back down Takes a constitution that most people just don′t have A life gets soiled with sex, drugs and rock and roll
I′m face down on the tracks The train is coming fast And it′s not derailing It′s not the first time And this won′t be the last That my heart is failing
I′m face down on the tracks The train is coming fast And you′re right there waiting It′s not the first time And this won′t be the last That my heart is failing
