Lyrics

Helena

Long ago

Just like the hearse you die to get in again

We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

from every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Came a time

When every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

from every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend to leave and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide?

[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

Thank Your For the Venom

Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal

And you never had a chance

Love it, or leave it, you can't understand

A pretty face, but you do so carry on, and on, and on

I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me

I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on, and on, and on, and on

Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door

What's life like, bleeding on the floor, the floor, the floor

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something

That you'll never kill

If this is what you want

Then fire at will

Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?

I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load

Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son

It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one, and one, and one, and one

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something

That you'll never kill

If this is what you want

Then fire at will

You'll never make me leave

I wear this on my sleeve

You wanna follow something

Give me a better cause to lead

Just give me what I need

Give me a reason to believe

[Chorus]

So give me all your poison

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts

And make me ill

You're running after something

That you'll never kill

If this is what you want

Then fire at will

[Chorus] So give me all your poison (Fire at will)

And give me all your pills

And give me all your hopeless hearts (Fire at will)

And make me ill

You're running after something (Fire at will)

That you'll never kill

If this is what you want (Fire at will)

Then fire at will

I Never Told You What I do For a Living

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

[Chorus:]

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 every day

[Chorus:]

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 lose

Only go so far 'til you bury them

So deep and down we go

Down

And down we go And down we go And down we go And we all fall down

I tried

I tried

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death

We'll love again, we'll laugh again

And it's better off this way

And 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.

Well I tried

One more night One more night

well I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' out loud

I tried, well I tried, well I tried,

'Cause I tried, but I lied

I lied

I tried I tried I tried

And we'll love again and 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

And never again, and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now
