Evergreen Terrace - Rip This!

Through black and blue, through thick and thin
It takes much more to break this skin
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We've had our backs against the wall
And all you've said we've proven wrong
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We give and we take, we bend and we break
But that's just the life that we've chosen
This sinking ship will not be abandoned

We're under the radar, we're under the rug
But that's just the way that we've broken
Fall in line to get what you've needed
Out of time, so take it or leave it now

Through black and blue, through thick and thin
It takes much more to break this skin
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We've had our backs against the wall
And all you've said we've proven wrong
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We've lost and we´ve won, but the damage is done
But that's just the life that we've chosen
This sinking ship will not be abandoned

You're here and you're gone, but we're moving on
Nothing is left unspoken
The bottom line is all that we're after
Another dime to silence your laughter now

One more time, one more try
One more time, one more try

Bright eyes have fallen far
But hold tight, a black moon's on the rise
Cross lines with battle scars
We know, you get what you pay for
Get what you pay for

Bright eyes have fallen far
But hold tight, a black moon's on the rise
Cross lines with battle scars
We know, you get what you pay for

Through black and blue, through thick and thin
It takes much more to break this skin
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We've had our backs against the wall
And all you've said we've proven wrong
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

Through black and blue, through thick and thin
It takes much more to break this skin
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

We've had our backs against the wall
And all you've said we've proven wrong
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

Through black and blue, through thick and thin
It takes much more to break this skin
Looks like we've finally made it
This time we finally made it

Serrated words
Can cut so deep
They slash across my chest
And now they pour into my lungs
They will never be the same
Have you enjoyed your selfish games

What doesn´t kill me, makes me numb

Please don´t forgive me
I´m never waking up
This won´t mean anything to you
No use resisting
You´ll never get enough
This won´t mean anything to you

The hole you left
I filled with the stones
You threw and now it´s time to sink
Rats will eat all my flesh and lick my bones clean

I´d rather be here than there with you

I need you to say I don´t mean anything to you
I need you to break, I don´t mean anything to you

I can´t breath with you near me
Cut so deep, taking over
Leave me here dead inside
I can´t breath knowing you´re alive

Something´s come over me and I need some answers
My capulet, it seems, is just a step away
We walk, we walk this darkened road
I can´t see, I can´t see at all
This joke is getting older every single day

Something´s come over me

No place I´d rather be
What are the chances
It´s right in front of me but still a step away
We walk, we walk this weary road
I can´t move, I can´t move at all
This joke is getting older every single day

I´ve heard quite enough

Forget, forget it all
Starting all over again
Regret has mounted tall
Over and over again
Is this our final call
Starting all over again
Forget, forget it all
Over and over

You can´t take it from me with softly spoken lies
One more mistake may end up costing you your life

We are the wicked
That walk these city streets
By your lighthouse
By the riverside

We are the ones
Taken for the vandals and the thieves
These filthy streets disgust you
As they keep you on your knees

The graffiti´s just as clear
As the writing on the wall

You want it
You got it
Pray that it washes away

You want it
You got it
Feel it through your veins

You want it
You got it
Another dollar, another day

You want it
You got it
Pray that it washes away

You think an open mind
Can be so dangerous

Poor hopeless sinner
Too filled with guilt to see
Thoughts are so betrayed
Pray that it washes away

We are the wicked
That walk these city streets
By your lighthouse
By the riverside
