My Best Wishes
I Killed The Prom Queen · When Goodbye Means Forever [2004]
Walk across the flame and burn yourself away
As my throat's swollen when you're dead
How can you continue to lie to yourself?
As I glance back at you
You continue to lie to me you have lied to me
No matter how much blood is lost now
Under a dying sky you are swept away
You are so beautiful
I felt safest in your arms
On the brink of extinction
Hands around my neck and turn to save me now
As despair is a distant closure
Walk across me body and kiss my lips
Continue to beat me
You are so beautiful
Move yourself
Step back from me
Walk away from me
Under a dying sky
I felt safest in your arms, On the brink of extinction
Hand around my necks and turn to save me now
I hope you can hear my voice
I have buried my own self - cause you lied to me
As I whisper out for redemption
I scream out for your forgiveness
