We're far beyond redemption
And that's why I'm still screaming
Those saccharine lies that taste so sweet
In the end they only rot your teeth
We're still disillusioned
And that's why I'm still screaming
One of us is taken away
Almost every day
Everything that I've believed
Just proves I'm easily deceived
I'm trying to understand that
I'm tearing out the last few pages
Of every book I own
'Cause some things, I don't want to know
This is a joke on the grandest scale
And that's why I'm still screaming
Paid for by pawns who sense
Something is wrong but still carry on
This story arc is fucked
And that's why I'm still screaming
There's no denouement, no happy ending
Just slow, steady decline
Everything that I've believed
Just proves I'm easily deceived
I'm trying to understand that
I'm tearing out the last few pages
Of every book I own
'Cause some things, I don't want to know
Heaven, please lay waste to this
'Cause no good will ever come of it
I am a modern day Nero
So hand me a fiddle and bow
'Cause dancing on ashes and graves
Is the only joy I know
We're dancing on ashes and graves
