"Tragedy Of Empty Streets" lyrics

"Tragedy Of Empty Streets"

Now buildings are starting to fall
Bricks beginning to break
Your steps are leaving cracks in the sidewalks
Leaving trails of empty streets

And I'm going blind from staring at your eyes
Because they release the fire of a thousand suns
But I've grown so numb I can barely shed a tear
Even if you cut the strings that hold my head up

You're pulling teeth
Ripping flesh so you can lick the blood from your fingers
So break these bones taste my skin
Let my death sing the end of it

So you can do no more damage
So you collect no more trophies

Let me be the last
Let no one feel how I feel

This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me

From your hell I've become this numb
I wish this pain on no one

Behind your smile
Beneath your lungs
I hope your darkness comes

This tragedy began with me
So let it end with me

I tried to be what you wanted me to be
And I'm sorry that I can never be perfect for you
But every time I look in the the mirror
I see your eyes stare right back at me
And I don't want it anymore

Now buildings are starting to fall
Bricks beginning to break
Your steps are leaving cracks in the sidewalks
Leaving trails of empty streets

You're pulling teeth
Ripping flesh so you can lick the blood from your fingers
So break these bones taste my skin
Let my death sing the end of it

So you can do no more damage
So you collect no more trophies

And I hope you're fucking happy
I hope you're fucking happy
