"The Lottery" lyrics
"The Lottery"
(feat. Caleb Shomo)
Gathered all in a circle
It's Ritualistic
Just like before
They say to pick a number
To pick a color
But what's it for?
I'll stand by this tradition
Man my position
It's ignorance
Faceless into the mirror
I'm not convinced that I stand a chance
Please don't hurt me
I'll be
Your one and only
Standing here lonely
Watching you throw things
Fire fire away
Twisting
We're all contorting
While you keep sorting
Us in a line
Chasing
The warm embracing
While you keep tasting
The bloody wine
Blindly leading the blindfolded
To an outdated state of mind
The free will die
Live my lie
Make your body whole like mine
Please don't hurt me
I'll be
Your one and only
Standing here lonely
Watching you throw things
Fire fire away
One day this will end with a fire on your skin
The crowds will come in waves as the sacrifice begins
The banners will be waving in the ashes of your hell
The end is fucking now
Please don't hurt me
I'll be
Your one and only
Standing here lonely
Watching you throw things
Fire fire away

Brand New - "Seventy Times 7" Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know,
like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart.
For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is...
My Chemical Romance - "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" Well, if you wanted honesty
That's all you had to say
I never want to let you down
Or have you go, it's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when...
Story Of The Year - "Anthem Of Our Dying Day" The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
And here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world...
Simple Creatures - "One Little Lie" I live on the dark side
So pull the shades tight
Don't shine the light in my eyes
I'm so jealous and inspired
It's like I'm always wired
To a time-bomb
I lost my faith in drinking
I lost my voice...
Mayday Parade - "First Train" I feel alone and
I know you felt like this before
Let's imagine we could be
Anything and
Anyone, well guess what, we
Can be all of those
Things
So let's take the first train outta here
We'll let it...
