but I dont trust the stars
feed me all your lies about us
while I lay dying in your arms
let the anger bleed through smiles
drug me so Im blind
bring me here to leave me cold
breathe in for the last time
(Chorus)
nightmares find me, midnights long
leave me here, where i dont belong
singing broken ballads, raining glass,
left alone here, with bandages,
this blade now has me trapped.
I tell you I am wasted, you say go back to sleep,
Im awake inside my nightmares, screaming......Bleeding....
I am high on what the blade can do,
monsters cant scare me now
im emptying myself from the inside out
you say that angels walk among us,
i see their tattered wings,
all the while you try to make me better,
im pre-occupied with other things
I like the pretty little butterflies
in cages made of steel,
lock me up inside this world,
where I will never have to feel,
reflections of things imaginary,
living in a world of make believe,
asleep with purple cotton candy clouds,
trapped in a world I cannot leave
(Chorus)
nightmares find me, midnights long
leave me here, where i dont belong
singing broken ballads, raining glass,
left alone here, with bandages,
this blade now has me trapped.
I cant keep going under here, living in this place of death,
I can feel you all around me,
as I take my final breath
(Bridge)
dying like those butterflies,
that had no will to be set free,
drowning in this place thats backwards,
twisted like you and me
I tell you I am wasted, you say go back to sleep,
Im awake inside my nightmares, screaming
You cant save me...
