Lyrics
If you had the courage to stop me
From turning into what would be
The worst in everybody's eyes
Hey, I'm no angel or the devil of your conscience
To tell you who to be
Good, bad, ugly or otherwise
If you had good common sense
Your choices would be gleaming flawless
I want no part in this self-deprecating, worthless chemistry
We made our beds, to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade
Turn about face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, Don't walk away from me...
Because this is our war
Oh, you think they've had it all
While you were left with nothing
Oh, you've taken the fall
For them to walk all over
You've made your bed, so soft and comforting
These dreams await, The Great Good Morning
We made our beds, to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade
Turn about face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, Don't walk away from me...
Because this is our war
Oh, we've got you by the throat... Ha, ha ha!
All you want to be....
Welcome, oh, to the everlasting all-time low
Please put your hands together
For the ever failing one man show- Domino!
Ladies and broken gentlemen
The undisputed champ of misery
And in this corner, we find his challenger
The pride of Utopia, the greatest thing ever
If you could recall, one moment of your past
That defined you to be, that made you the man
We've come to love, All the above
Oh, this disaster binds us absolute
A thousand lies you tell yourselves
That no one ever loved you right
But I would do anything for you...
The question fits the question mark
Your signals crossed, your message lost, Ha ha!
Spoken word passage
This wall won't hold forever
Your time has come, it's now or never
We made our beds, to lie in them proud
Proud of our great mistakes
This warring knife, the flash of it's blade
Turn about face, I implore you, brother
Don't walk away, Don't walk away from me...
Because this is our war
One by one, we are together, we fall together
One by one, we are together, we fall together
Brother, don't be afraid...
We are together, we are together
Brother...
We are together, we fall together...
