And Sadness Will Sear
-----------------------------
Shepard is chased by the wolves
Wolves who live by intolerance and hate
For what they couldnt understand
Blinded and vicious are the beasts
Needing and ripping at a beautiful human
Who did nothing more than be himself
Tied to the fence as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear
Scarecrow is left crucified
Left freezing, bleeding, tired of wondering why
The wolves just couldn't understand
It's the preachers and the teachers
Government's close-minded creatures
Trying to teach us to hate
That which is different
Tied to the fence as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear
It's 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the scarecrow died
A victim of society's cruelty
It's 12:53 AM, October 12th
When the shepherd died
The candle's light will alight your departure
Tied to the fence as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear
Tied to the fence as they break you
And sadness will sear
Cold is the wind that will freeze you
And Sadness will sear

Coma White
--------------------------------------------------------------
There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
(coma):
'cause You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today, today to run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a Polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
(coma):
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today, today to run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Autopsy Song
-----------------------------------
Open wide, look inside [x2]
At my autopsy
I feel like
A woman
I feel like
I care
I feel like
I shouldn't
I feel like a child
Of despair
I feel like
It's over
I feel like it's coming
After me
I feel like
It's closer
I feel like this is all I'll ever be
I feel like
A failure
I feel like a hungry
Parasite
I feel like
A razor
I feel like a prayer
Lost in flight
I feel like
I'm hopeless
I'm afraid I'm a slave, I'm weak and average [x2]
I feel like
A hammer
I feel like
A nail
I feel like
I'm guilty
I feel like the wrist that it impales
I feel like
A butcher
I feel like
I'm being decieved
I feel like a beautiful loser
I feel like all you sheep
Are laughing at me
Open wide, look inside, at my autopsy
My autopsy
I feel like a complete waste of time
I feel I'm
Transparent
I feel like I can't
Escape my mind
Lose It
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standing on the edge,
battle in my head,
I'm dying to know
I'm dying to know
If I take this leap,
to fail or succeed,
I'm dying to know
I'm dying to know
This is it I'm shaking.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
This is it, I'm falling.
My wings need to grow.
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
There's so many roads,
pitfalls filled with doubt.
I'm dying to know,
I'm dying to know.
Grabbing what I need,
Grip until it bleeds.
I'm dying to know,
I'm dying to know.
This is it, I'm shaking.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
This is it, I'm falling.
My wings need to grow.
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
(Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum, Bum)
If I,
If I take this, this leap,
will I be broken?
I'm dying to know
This is it, I'm shaking.
My body's aching,
I lose my hold,
I will let go.
I lose my hold,
this is it I'm falling.
I lose my hold,
my wings need to grow,
I lose my hold,
I will let go
I will let go.
I will let go!
