Sideshow cars and plastic stars
A turgid affair
Illuminates the dwindling scars

They point and stare

I've been longing for a son like you
I've been searching for a way out too
and somebody - somebody's looking for you.
If I find some way out

Then I will stay
With heart split two ways down
Like tears down my face
We'll find our way out

Without a map just our hearts
And when we get out
We'll topple down your house of cards
				

[Verse 1]
I can taste this deadly silence
I can touch the sacrifice
But sometimes what you get is violence
I know I'll lose my soul tonight

You can hide your self-obsession
All your pride you cannot save
All your vigorous possessions
I can take it all away
I can take it all away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can take it all away!
Oh, I will take it all away!

[Chorus]
So fuck you, don't place the blame on me
And fuck me, because I should have seen
And fuck, this day will haunt me everywhere I go
So fuck my soul when I burn it all

[Verse 2]
Shadows dance, they smell of fire
There's broken glass across the floor
I hear the scream inside the pyre
I can't trust myself now anymore
I can't trust myself now anymore

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Not anymore!
I can't take it anymore!

[Chorus]
So fuck you, don't place the blame on me
And fuck me, because I should have seen
And fuck, this day will haunt me everywhere I go
So fuck my soul when I burn it all

[Bridge]
I can take it all away, so
Oh, so I can take it all away
Oh, oh, I can take it all away

[Build-up]
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, I will take it all away
I, can, take
I will take it all away
I, can, take
I will take it all away
I, can, take
I will take it all away

I will take it all away!

[Chorus]
So fuck you, don't place the blame on me
And fuck me, because I should have seen
And fuck, this day will haunt me everywhere I go
So fuck my soul when I burn it all

So fuck you, don't place the blame on me
And fuck me, because I should have seen
And fuck, this day will haunt me everywhere I go
So fuck my soul when I burn it all

So fuck you, don't place the blame on me
And fuck me, because I should have seen
And fuck, this day will haunt me everywhere I go
So fuck my soul when I burn it all
				

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray
All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray

Beneath the lies you hide your greed
But I keep it here, what you cannot steal
Inside a blood red cavity
You know it's coming, but your eyes can't see
You're tearing up, you're down on your knees
And it gets so god damn hard to breathe

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I will betray
All you can do is to hope and pray

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

Don't fucking tell me what to play
I'll always disobey
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

Now there's a void inside of me
Where I keep the wound that cannot heal
And whenever I go I will go all alone
I've never found a place where I belong
You hear the sound of a blade in your back
And you know I won't be coming back

All you can do is to hope and pray
But I know so well that I betrayed
All you can is to hope and pray

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

Don't fucking tell me what to play
I'll always disobey
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
All night long I dream of the day
The day when I say

All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do is to hope and pray
All you can do

Don't fucking tell me what to write
I know I'll never satisfy
Until my last day
I'll go my own way

Ouh!
All you can do is to hope and pray, ouh!
All you can do is to

Don't fucking tell me what to write
This song will be our last goodbye
Until my last day
I'll go my own way
				

[Thrash Part]
Like a thousand cries to the blackened sky!
Ow!
'Ey! 'Ey, 'ey!
Oh yeah!

[Verse 1]
It feels like a thousand years
My eyes torn open like a constant stare
Time's howling in my ear
But I'll hide my thousand tears

If this is what it takes, fuck fate
Fuck fate, like a smile fucks with hate
I'm still gasping for air
But I'll do another thousand years

[Chorus]
'Cause I'll follow you till the day I die
And I'll sink your ships when your lies collide
You try to hide in the great divide
But I'll follow you just like a thousand eyes

[Verse 2]
I'll make you regret this, I swear
I swear by my own high truth and your low-life lies
When you slip, I'll be there
With a pill of cyanide

The moment you look away
I'll fill my deep, dark dungeon, hang you upside down
I'll hear your thoughts when you pray
Then I'll make you drown

[Chorus]
'Cause I'll follow you till the day I die
And I'll sink your ships when your lies collide
You try to hide in the great divide
But I'll follow you just like a thousand eyes

[Saxophone Solo]

[Drum Solo]

[Breakdown]
Ooh!

[Thrash Part]
Like a thousand cries in the blackened sky!
Ow! 'Ey!
'Ey, 'ey!
Ooh, 'ey, 'ey!

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll follow you like a thousand eyes
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

I'll follow you!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
I'll sink your ships
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

[Chorus]
'Cause I'll follow you till the day I die
And I'll sink your ships when your lies collide
You try to hide in the great divide
But I'll follow you just like a thousand eyes
Eyes! Eyes!
				

[Instrumental]
				

I hear this broken sound
Of what's gone by
I see a tear of lead behind your eye

It's happening again
I've lost this place I didn't occupy
Our broken fairy tale so hard to hide

I hear it closer now, whisper through the night
I hear it through the dark, whispering a lie
It's happening again, and you keep telling me you know I tried
But deep inside you know it's all a lie

Behind this cold and empty stare I know I was never there

Now I know it's all a lie
Chose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love - for a place -
For a place in this House of Control

I've tried and tried but cannot hide from my dying drive
I've seen this across the sky, I came to say goodbye
I thought I could control the end
Thought I would change, but now i can't pretend
I know how this will end, now I see why

Behind these red and bloodshot eyes
I know I'll stay this way until I die
Because

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love for the place
In this empty House Of Control

There was a time before this time
When I told myself
There was a time before this when I told myself
It was worth the sacrifice
To sacrifice all I loved for
What I was going to love
There was a time before this time
In my my my my cold black soul
I knew what I was living for
But now, but now I'm not so sure

Damn you life, look what you stole
All this time I've played this role
Look deep inside this cold black soul
Where all you'll find's a foul dead hole

Behind the taste of what I said
Behind the silence in my head
Behind this cold and empty bed
Where thoughts of you are all found dead

Hey! [12x]

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
I sold all the things I love
For a place in this empty House Of Control

Now I know it's all a lie
Choose a poison, choose a life
Now I know just what I sold
I sold all the things I love for a place in this
Empty House of Control
				

[Instrumental]
				

[Verse 1]
When I crawl, on my knees
I know I will smile
I will be a good whore

I will lie, through my teeth
'Cause who I once was
Doesn't matter anymore

Don't know who I am
Don't know why
Nothing in this world
Can ever satisfy

On my knees, when I cry
Will I feel like this
Until I die?

[Chorus 1]
My God, I don't know what I started
My God, I don't know what I started
I take and take until I'm sore
I cannot fake this anymore
My God, I feel like a whore, but I still need more!

[Verse 2]
Don't spit it out
Try not to drown
Don't make a sound
I get down on the ground
Put it in my mouth
Like an animal

Then I swallow it all
Born again, born by sin
With my knife in your back
You'll never win

It's been dead
It's been tied
But now I hear it scream inside

[Chorus 2]
My God, now I know what I started
My God, now I know what I started
I take and take until I'm sore
I cannot fake this anymore
My God, I feel like a whore, but I still need more!

[Bridge]
Still need more!
Still need more!
Still need more!
I still need more!

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Chorus 2]
My God, now I know what I started
My God, now I know what I started
I take and take until I'm sore
I cannot fake this anymore
My God, I feel like a whore, but I still need more!

[Guitar Solo 2]
Still need more!
Still need more!
Still need more!
I still need more!

Still need more!
Still need more!
Still need more!
I still need more!
