My Chemical Romance - FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS lyrics

rate me

We have to take this, to be alive.<br>

There's just one life to give and so we strive..<br>

..to build upon this, this way of rhymes, this book of lives, this custom of doubts.<br>

We all re-adjust from your tastes.<br>

Slipping forward so we feel graced.<br>

This passage that I've misplaced.<br>

Merely existing to stay the same.<br>

Just take this to the extent in which you are living the "morally predictable" way,<br>

Hoping, reaching for blank salvation,<br>

Every second, every hour, of every single day.<br>

Wait!<br>

There's only one!<br>

One life!<br>

Then it's done!<br>

Just wait..there's only one, one life, then it's none.<br>

I see gallows built in your name.<br>

Strangling you while you breathe to pray.<br>

You'd rather live and serve.<br>

Die and "be saved"..there's so much you deserve.<br>

You deserve to be..buried deep, to forever sleep.<br>

Wait!<br>

There's only one!<br>

One life!<br>

Then it's done.<br>

Just wait!<br>

There's only one!<br>

One life,<br>

And then it's none.<br>

I'd rather serve in hell, than reign in heaven.<br>
