I Killed the Prom Queen Album

If I ruled the Earth
I'd sail ships over seas until sundown
Then I'd return in dark
To walk these streets alone

By day, I hear the serpents calling me
This leads me from the shore
In search of the deepest abyss
I am forever covering my tracks
And standing here with less than an existance

Though I hold the key to everthing
This sinking feeling never dies
I'll chase my sunset laced with pride
In this heartless galleon

Although I'd rather fill my lungs and rapidly descend
And lay with my thoughts under bleak starlight
I'll keep on pushing through perpetual darkness
Then in Hell I'll seek my confidence

Then I'd return in dark to walk these streets alone
The twilight here won't embrace my words like waves do
The feel of dry land is making me sick
So I stand here coughing up sharks
Till my neon glowing neck breaks

This sinking feeling never dies
I'll chase my sunset laced with pride
In this heartless galleon

Walking through the dark, here's to a new beginning
It's time to bow your heads
To a nation's swinging axe
While you search for answers planted in the ground

I'm happy watching you dance your legs down to your knees
I'm happy watching you be infatuated with love
I'm happy watching you, watching you die

This war with myself never ends
This war with myself never ...

The only way I'd return is to an orchestra of wolves
The only way I'd return
If I ruled the Earth

Storm clouds hanging overhead
Offer not the slightest bit of comfort for the first time in days
I wait to discover disasters that I've slept though while I felt so alive
So we say goodbye, so we say goodbye

Heartstrings severed just as quick as they were discovered
So we say goodbye, so we say goodbye
I'll break my own fall to keep you picture perfect
Just don't wake me up now...

So say goodbye, close your eyes for the last time
Questioning everything that went wrong

The silence - she whispers to me
Telling me things we dare to speak out loud
The collaboration of the blinding sun
Through vacant streets hits home hard
Like a hatchet to the skull

I'd keep you here if it kept me warm and these winters away
Your hands were the only hands needed to hold me
For the first time in days, I feel alive
In the end, we'll both rot together
In the end, we'll rot together, our love lies in embers

So say goodbye, close your eyes for the last time
Questioning everything that went wrong
Peering out of those same cracked windows
That I studied for days upon days

Suddenly collapse, it all falls down
So say goodbye, close your eyes for the last time
Questioning everything that went wrong

I curse your name
I curse the earth you travelled
With a heart so serrated
It draws lacerations across the hands

You used to hold so tightly up until now
I'm glad farewells were exchanged before today
This phrase has never sounded so sweet to my ears

I don't mourn this act or mourn for you, mourn for you
And with those encounters still installed in my mind
I leave with a putrid taste inside my mouth

Every living thing on this earth dies alone, dies alone
This phrase never sounded so sweet to my ears
Every living thing on this earth dies alone, dies alone
This phrase never sounded so sweet to my ears

With reason enough to curse the earth you walk from
Those final encounters stuck, stuck in my mind
The scent of abhorrence still lingers

Part your exit this moment is only married
By thoughts of your presence
I curse your name and the earth you're walking on

Everything living on this earth dies alone
Everything living on this earth dies alone
Everything living on this earth dies alone
Everything living on this earth dies alone

These scornful thoughts resurrect to the sound of that name
The scent of abhorrence still lingers here
To look at those lacerations
With no chance to heal, no chance to heal
These scornful thoughts still linger on
These scornful thoughts still linger on
These scornful thoughts still linger on [fade out]

Once I've drawn my final painful breath
Ad disfigured any beauty my mind holds of you
This process of pain can be ended elegantly
With no distaste,no fear of soul decay
I felt betrayed for so long
I can' let go, these failures dragged me down
I wither away

I will never forgive or forget
A constant reminder
Your lifeless heart on a rope around my neck
A keepsake from this rusted love

We are falling fast to the ground
We are falling, we are falling, we are falling
Fast to the ground

I'd bite into your face just to be close to your eyes
I've discarded so much beauty in a lifetime
I'll stitch my own insides to the highest tree
A keepsake of this rusted love that you wish upon me

This process of pain can be ended elegantly
With no distaste, no fear of soul decay
I felt betrayed for so long I can't let go

I will never forgive or forget
A constant reminder
Your lifeless heart on a rope around my neck
A keepsake from, a keepsake from this rusted love

Everyone here, everyone here
Who breathes will fucking die
Who breathes will fucking die

I'll take you down to the water's edge
I'll show you exactly what it's like to feel alive
As you gaze up at the sky, as your frail hands reach out for mine
I have forced myself to look away

As all hope is lost, as you gaze up at the sky
I'll show you exactly what it's like to feel alive
We'll paint it black and blue
As a painful reminder of the black heart
That's beating inside you, bleeding inside you

Among the merciful, sin will reign
Only guilt will crush us all
And when we face the end, we'll find the deepest sleep
In graves we dug ourselves

I'll make sure you never sleep again
The air around us has become a threat to swallow
These words are uttered in contempt and spat out like poison
I hope you rot down to the core

From many years of misery, I'm torn in two
We'll paint it black and blue
As a painful reminder of the black heart
That's beating inside you, bleeding inside you

Among the merciful, sin will reig
Only guilt will crush us all
And when we face the end, we'll find the deepest sleep
In graves we dug ourselves

You wore out your welcome, like you wore me down to the bone
Outside, the mood is absent and silence provides no solace
I offer no shelter from the dead night air
Just a tomb to call your own

In this falling fortress, awake me from this broken dream
Your god won't lead you through today
He only hears your cries as a chorus to a lullaby

Your faith has fallen before your eyes
A mindless cage that keeps you suffocated
And on your knees, lonely, wanting more

He preaches another love song, temporarily blinded by lies
You've taken beauty from these words
Rewrite your own mind in this war

You wore out your welcome like you wore me down
You are an image without form
And in this moment, my heart collapsed
You smashed it apart

He preaches another love song, temporarily blinded by lies
Everything you hold in your heart is frail
Everything you love will pass away
Everything you hold in your heart is frail
It will perish in a wall of flames

I've never compared myself
And I couldn't care anymore
I've never had it to hold, so I've got nothing to lose
Young love left you broken hearted
"We could have never had us, because I never had you"

So let your eyes tell the tale
What I was meant to say
I thought of you for too long
Now a frozen smile won't even bring you back

Your kiss is no longer safe to me anymore
Your lips have turned into something I don't know anymore
They are the gates to a vicious tongue
Your razor wrists won't make this change or go away

I'd never trust those bloodshot eyes
This love was living with its eyes sewn shut
At times, I'd love to bludgeon you and dance with your corpse
Yesterday's memories left me weak

I'm chasing shadows, wasting time
Waiting for Vegas to call my name
Idle thoughts spill constantly from open mouths
With their eyes sewn shut

I hope this haunts you like it does me
B-sides and broken smiles won't dance with me
Idle thoughts spill constantly from open mouths
With their eyes sewn shut

While you've been dreaming of the dead and lost
I have been awake kissing these clock faces
The fear of sleep has left me tired and worn
But in her dreams is where I will haunt her

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel
These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes
I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground
Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears
It will be okay

I took to the sky, did you mourn for me?
Well, who needs flowers when they're dead and buried
For now, my whisper is my dearest friend
But even I know this won't last forever

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel
These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes
I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground
Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears
It will be okay

Smile when you think of me, the pain will go in time
I may be alone with fear in my mind
I leave these words in hope that that we'll meet again
Again. Now? I know this won't last forever

So here I stand, breathless, waiting for nothing
Peer into my chest
See if this thing's still ticking
Another victim to that power that no one gave you

Standing all alone, I've realised I'm not giving up
The first time this touched me
I became an invention called zero
So as I walk from this earth, I'm taking you with me

Existence will fall down
Betrayed, security fails
All hail your faithless god - lies.
Slain upon thy faithful sword - trust
I will not bow
Compassion is locked inside and I'm holding the useless key

So here I stand, just waiting for nothing
Peer into my chest, rip me apart
As this lethal injection runs cold through my veins
Lights in my head slowly fade out, I'm in the dark again

There will be no tolerance for those with no respect
Standing all alone, I've realised I'm not giving up
If I walk this earth, I'll still take you with me
I'm sure these keys will open a vile passion

Praying hands won't save purity
Praying won't save purity
As this lethal injection runs cold through my veins
Lights in my head slowly fade out, I'm in the dark again

All hail your faceless god
Slain upon thy faithful sword
All hail your faceless god
Slain upon thy faithful sword
Still I refuse to bow

Too many times, searching for mercy without sincere remorse
Look into these eyes forever holding doubt
Under masks of false comfort you wear so proud

And when the walls tear down
The shell exposed must head for the shadows
These bridges still smouldering
A dark veil shields the eyes, but still your name carries the wind
Know that I'll leave all comapssion where its due
At the foot of your headstone

It's too late to rise from ruin
The stench of death hangs in the air tonight
But if you come back, I'll be waiting with an open casket to bury you alive
Years of betrayal will stain the days ahead

I wish to sow the seeds of vengance
A single wish to end this rule
I wish to sow the seeds of vengance
And let the sky be vacant again

Years of betrayal will stain the days ahead
I'll be waiting with an open casket to bury you alive
Watch the angels drop like flies
From the dead heavens above
