Lyrics[]
All bets are off but you still
think that you've gotta a right well,
Your lucky days are numbered now. (and you're to blame)
You built a castle of sand.
Shaking the devil's hand well,
At least I've still got my soul to sell.
You've got to take me away,
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that’s real)
Help me escape
cause I wanna be, (I’ll take my last breath)
Left to be free,
I just wanna fake my own death.
You played your part of the whore,
You got some kinda nerve or,
Have you forgot I don't forget, (and your'e too late)
You walk beside the dead where,
The angels never tread well.
At least I've still got a soul to sell.
You've got to take me away,
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that’s real)
Help me escape
cause I wanna be, (I’ll take my last breath)
Left to be free,
I just wanna fake my own death.
There's nowhere to run.
From hell and above.
I swear to a god that someday,
There will be blood.
It all comes down in the end
in spite of me you do it all again.
It all comes down in the end
in spite of you I’ll do it all again.
You've got to take me away,
Cause I wanna feel (wanna feel)
Something that's real (thing that’s real)
Help me escape
cause I wanna be, (I’ll take my last breath)
Left to be free,
I just wanna fake my own death.
