One last breath in fear city Hold me close cause I can't hold on anymore Oh, what a shame, such a pity I can't indulge myself in the feeling anymore And when I look in the rear view mirror I see burning buildings So it fills me with no such feelings Of mercy killings I might just come at the sound of the dying child Wait, what did you say? That's definitely not what he said I've lived here now for a while But most of the times I just get lost in the days Hey you, over there with the beautiful smile Who, me? Yeah, the gag too, the user denial Do you have something else that you'd like to say? Well, actually yes When I was a kid I was obsessed with science And saw so many random acts of Thought, thought, thought, thought violence The method of the madness made me think I like it The science of silence, the silence of violence So what came first, the silence of violence? Oh honey, you know it really depends on what you're buying these days All of my friends call me a light sleeper Well I guess that I just don't dream anymore I used to call the shots But sometimes the shots just have to call themselves Like making a U-turn on the belt of the highway I can do it my way now Like turning around at the burning building I threw it away for the better living One at a time and I stepped right in The carnal knowledge embraced my skin The smoke from the hall sank in my nose My eyes, my soul, my ***, my grin I screamed for my life, I screamed, I screamed Out there, no one can hear you in the walls of sin Concrete floors that I love living in One last breath before I give in Just one last breath before it's Christmas morning The bells are ringing and I'm in mourning Wish I had a sign, wish I had a warning That the bells of heaven would come and erase My nose, my eyes, my sin, my face On New Year's Eve, the years behind Are just another reason to lead All the beautiful lives we lead When fear is all we need What a beautiful life What a beautiful life What a beautiful life What a beautiful life What a beautiful life
