Stay out of the light. Or the photograph that I gave you.
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll grieve you.
Can I meet you? Alone. Another night and I'll see you.
Another night and I'll be you.
Some other way to continue. To hide my face.

Another knife in my hands.
A stain that never comes off the sheets. Clean me off.
I'm so dirty, babe.
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes.
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far 'til you bury them.
So deep and down we go.

Touched by angels, though. I fall out of grace.
I did it all so maybe I'd live this everyday.

Another knife in my hands.
A stain that never comes off the sheets. Clean me off.
I'm so dirty, babe.
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame.
It's for the bodies I claim and those
Only go so far 'til you bury them.
So deep and down we go.

Down...
And down we go.
It's how we go.
It's how we go.
And we all fall down again.

And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death.
We'll love again.
We'll laugh again.
And it's better off this way.
Well never again, and never again.
They gave us two shots to the back of the head and we're all dead now.
Well never again, and never again.
They gave us two shots to the back of the head and we're all dead now.

One more night, one more night.
Well I'm about to cry out.
Another night... tried.
Well I tried, well I tried, well I tried.
'Cause I tried, but I lied. But I lied.
Tried, I tried, I tried, oh.

And we'll love again.
We'll laugh again.
We'll cry again.
And we'll dance again.
And it's better off this way, so much better off this way.
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed.
Well never again, and never again.
They gave us two shots to the back of the head and we're all dead now.

When I first heard this song I hated it, but the mroe I listen to it the better it gets. It just keeps going and going with no pauses to break the intensity. And from the birdge on it's a fuckin masterpiece, plus the singer is damn good, I've never heard anyone scream like him. It's just awesome.

I love the bridge. It's fucking genius. Sadly, it's the last song on this masterpiece of a CD, but it's an amazing track, so you're not left unsatisfied.
