"Tales Of A Scorched Earth" lyrics

"Tales Of A Scorched Earth"

Farewell, goodnight, last one out turn out the lights
And let me be, let me die inside
Let me know the way through this world of hate in you
'Cause the die is cast and the bitch is back
And we're all dead, yeah, we're all dead

Inside the future of a shattered past

Yeah, yeah, I'd lie just to be real
And I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
'Cause beyond my hopes, there are no feelings, yeah

Bless the martyrs and kiss the kids
For knowing better, for knowing this
'Cause you're all whores and I'm a fag
And I've got no mother and I've got no dad

To save me from the wasted, save me from myself

Yeah, yeah, I'd lie just to be real
And I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
'Cause beyond my hopes there are no feelings, no

If I believe, if I deceive, if I defend you now that way
Would you believe, could you receive, could you have faith?
No one is, is ever gone
And time is everything and I have none

Everyone's lost just waiting to be found
And everyone's a thought just waiting to fade
So fuck it all, 'cause I don't care
So what, somehow, somewhere we dared

To try to dare, to dare for a little more

Yeah, yeah, I'd lie just to be real
And I'd die just to feel
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
'Cause beyond my hopes, there are no feelings, yeah
