[English]
Let's go!I kissed the scars on her skin
I still think you're beautiful
And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend
I screamed out, "God you vulture!
Bring her back or take me with her!"
Tear it down, break the barricades
I wanna see what sound it makes
I hate this flavor with a passion and I fucking hate the aftertaste
How does it feel, how does it feel?
How does it feel? Well, it feels like I'm on fire
Wake up, I know you can hear me
Make me a promise here tonight
Love like a tidal wave
Dreamless in early graves
I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done we can say that
When it's sudden death, we fight back
(Oh, yeah, this was just as I suspected)
Pretend like I don't entice you
I've seen you circling the sky above my head
You traitor! I will never be taken for granted again
Keep digging holes in the desert
Say a prayer for you, I know that you're in pain
But if we die at the same time, does it still scare you?
Make me a promise here tonight (let's go!)
Dreamless in early graves
I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that
Oh my God, we're not gonna make it
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave and nothing will remain
She's mine
You stay away from her, it's not her time
'Cause, baby, I'm the one
Who haunts her dreams at night
Until she's satisfied
Make me a promise here tonight
Love like a tidal wave
Dreamless in early graves
I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that
When it's sudden death, we fight back
Go!
Fuck it
