Woe Is Me - Fame > Demise lyrics

rate me

The devil and god are knocking at my door

I thought I had your word

That a father dies before his son

Now the reaper and his men are marching away

Straight to hell

All that you taught me to be

Was a moper, a dreamer that only refused to dream

Oh save it please

My voice is peaking through your speakers

And I'm speaking just to show you the way

How could you

Shelter me out

I'm much older now

you're a chemical fiend

You shatter like a beaker

When I only want to show you the way

The architect, the creator

I'll build my way out of your demise

These dreams are my castles,

Not the walls you built up around me

Oh when I look at my watch and I know

Time is gold

It can't be pawned and it can't be sold

Now you're running out of time,

Better relapse and rewind

Crucify your addiction so you can cross this line

Nothing can save you from the fate that awaits you

Disregard the signals

Disregard the smoke

Father don't believe them

Just let them fucking choke

Now we lay you down to sleep

I pray his hands, your soul to reap

And if I die before you wake

Then I've lost a bet, and for fucks sake,

When all your cards are on the table

Pray the floor is still and stable and dance your life away

Your true colors are starting to get loud

(so loud that it hurts my ears)

Have fun praying to your gray god now

Yeah, this war don't determine whos right

This war just determines whos left standing tonight

Stop handing me lights

I can see what you are in the dark just fine

I'm not blind, I'm bending the blinds

Peaking through to get a glimpse of your anguishing life

you're hiding like a vampire, here comes the strife

This won't hurt me cause I get a thrill from the bite

So place your bets

Place your bets

Cause through my eyes you'll reap what you sew
