"Empty Elvis" lyrics
"Empty Elvis"
Blame the almighty, crucify me, martyrdom, sex, and fame
Screaming, "Oh, oh, my God! Oh, that's your god?"
Blindfold the firing squad
Pay the almighty with your body
Then you can carry me
Screaming, "Oh, no! That's wrong! You don't belong!"
Stand before the firing squad
Oh
I'm alone again, I'm alone again
I'm alone again, oh
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
I want it all
Screaming, "Oh, oh, my God. Oh, that's your god?"
Blindfold the firing squad
They, the almighty, keep inviting us to all come along
Then they scream, "Oh, oh, my God!"
When they see that you're flawed
Take shots at the firing squad
It seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
I want it all
Over and over, and over again
Oh, my God, is that your god?
I'm over, over, over, over it
Soul made the devil his riches
Because I couldn't have gotten here all by myself
All of us paper thin pages ripped for money
All of us paper thin pages ripped for money
Oh, it seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
It seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
Over and over, and over again
Over, over and over
Over and over, over and over, over it
Ooh, oh shit

Thrice - "Paper Tigers" They preach to the choir, always in the permanent daylight
They toss paper tigers from their perfect porcelain skylines

Misery Signals - "One Day I'll Stay Home" I surrender whole to one
Night by night, day by day

A Day To Remember - "If Looks Could Kill" Something's wrong and it's not me for once,
and I know you'll call me crazy.
but I hate the way you look straight through me.
What have I done that's so wrong?

Stray From The Path - "Mad Girl" You know I've got so much to say
But I'm infected, and you're the new disease of today
You try and seize the day but your infected,

Being As An Ocean - "We Drag The Dead On Leashes" We've all done things that we're ashamed of
We think they make us unworthy of love
We carry regret in our demeanors
Wear it all over our faces
In our smallest actions; our greatest fears
Daring all...
