30 Seconds To Mars - Hurricane

Album∶This Is War

...

No matter how many times that

you told me you wanted to leave

No matter how many breaths that

you took you still couldn't breathe

No matter how many nights did you lie

Wide awake to the sounds of the pausing rain

Where did you go? Where did you go?

Where did you go?

(Heartbeat, a heartbeat, I need a heartbeat...)

Tell me would you kill to save a life?

Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?

Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn

This sorry can't change things, I so long to cry

...

No matter how many deaths I die, I will never forget

No matter how many lies I live, I will never regret

There's a fire inside, Of this heart,

a riot about to explode into flames

Where is your God? Where is your God?

Where is your God?

...

Do you really want?

Do you really want me?

Do you really want me dead or alive to torture for myself?

Do you really want?

Do you really want me?

Do you really want me dead or alive to live alone?

Tell me would you kill to save your life?

Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?

Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn

This hurricane's chasing us all underground

Tell me would you kill to save a life?

Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?

Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn

This hurricane's chasing us all underground

Oh, oh, woah

...

Do you really want?

Do you really want me?

Do you really want me dead or alive to tortue for myself?

Do you really want?

Do you really want me?

Do you really want me dead or alive to live alone?
