It's true - we're all a little insane, But it's so clear now that I'm unchained. [Pre-choral verse] Fear is only in our minds, Taking over all the time. Fear is only in our minds, But it's taking over all the time. You poor, sweet, innocent thing, Dry your eyes and testify. You know you live to break me. Don't deny sweet sacrifice. One day I'm gonna forget your name, And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain. [Pre-choral verse] You poor, sweet, innocent thing, Dry your eyes and testify. And, oh, you love to hate me, don't you honey? I'm your sacrifice. I dream in darkness, I sleep to die. Erase the silence, erase my life. Our burning ashes Why you hate? Blacken the day. Are you still too weak A world of nothingness, To survive your mistakes? Blow me away. You poor, sweet, innocent thing, Dry your eyes and testify. You know you live to break me. Don't deny sweet sacrifice. |    |
