I, Lucifer

Take this breath in my chest I crave death and nothing less Slit my throat 'cuz I'm better off dead My life has been wasted Keep me around as if I had a purpose I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant I'm wanting out if that means taking you on I've seen your breath written on these pages You have bled for animals in cages Was I given straw to build this house? Tell me why the hell did my walls all fall down? Keep me around as if I had a purpose I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant I'm wanting out if that means taking you on, and now I'm taking off your crown Take these hands and turn them into weapons Change these plans and make them into your's Take this man and turn his sight from demons All I am is wanting you more Now I see what's been hidden inside of me I'll never question you again

Outside, they hear a different song than inside What's in your heart? You'll find they are just waiting for you this time to watch you fall If you're drawing lines you can get off our side We want to be wrong if what you say is right Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop And how can you? Now can you use what you've got? A fire burning inside of you, and they've tried to put you out You'll find possibly maybe that you might die, not on your own But they will tell you you're wrong If you're drawing lines you can get off our side We want to be wrong if what you say is right Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop And how can you? Now can you use what you've got? Your blankets of "What if's?" they're making us cold We've tasted life wasted and it's getting old "You'll never make it." At least we tried And if we make it, at least we tried We've tried, we've tried, we've tried, we've tried! You can not stop us This is who we are You can not stop us This is who we are If you're drawing lines you can get off our side We want to be wrong if what you say is right Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop And how can you? Now can you use what you have got?

Cut out a heart and then ran away with you Today I'll start and do the same to you I'll watch you leave I'm not what you need Everyone wants the same as I do As you wait and bleed, I am trying to forget you I'll watch you leave I'm not what you need Lie to me to make this better, and I won't leave I will stay. I've made a grave with you We can sleep now. Entombed, we can sleep now So this happens once again to a child without sin Don't say, "This is love." Just say, " This is greed" We'll watch you leave We won't give up this time We won't give up We'll give our all this time We'll give our all

Give me one reason and I'll give you more It seems I'm not what she was looking for I was waiting for something And I found out it was nothing [Chorus:] Never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old) Never say those things boy (and forget all that you know) You will love this pain (you've got nowhere to go), and you will play her games And do what you're told I'll be happy with or without you You make your choices and become what you choose Break an organ that's mended, and fake who your in love with Never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old) Never say those things boy (and forget all that you know) You will love this pain (you've got nowhere to go), and you will play her games And do what you're told Tell me, "That distance is why we fight." And though your not like other guys, everything I say is right Tell me, "I envy and hate your God." Life is a meaningless song Hope and true love all have gone away I'll never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old) I'll never play your games girl (I am letting go) You're not what I need (now I really see), and you are what I leave I have never felt so free

I carved a picture Into my skin I showed everyone I'll never sin Just cause I bleed like you I'm not a man Not of this world And you must understand that I've got a predestined plan I walk better than you I'll preach what I practice And I will practice on you I carved your holy name Inside my skin I showed everyone I'm not a trend I am a zombie I'd be better off dead I speak of angels But host demons instead I pray for a prayer that's you I am praying on you And I talk about walking And I try to walk upon you When I look at all of you I see I see the weak, I'm a wolf among the lost sheep When I look at all of you I see I see the weak, I'm a wolf among the lost sheep I will tell them the scriptures I will profit your name I will sell them the scriptures And I will pocket your fame I magnify splinters The world is carved from my eyes I am posing for pictures I am feasting on bread and your wine

Death to my will Oh, can I fill this hole in my heart? What will ever fill? I've fallen way too far I wanted only you Tell me what we are When I'm hurting you Your hurting me And why are we in love? Nothing is ever new and we both can see that Death to your will Oh, can I fill this hole in your heart? Swallow me as a pill And stand with me in the dark Oh, I wanted only you Winter has lasted too long Oh, it's always cold here We can't see right or see wrong Oh, it always snows, dear Winter has lasted too long Oh, it's always cold here We can't see right or see wrong Oh, it's always, always cold, my dear Tell me what we are When I'm hurting you Your hurting me And why are we in love? Nothing is ever new and we both can see that With crumbling, ripping, and failing You'd think that we'd get the point God and the devil are saying "The well has rejected your coins."

Another second wasted or is it another year? We've tried hard not to face it Erase a thought so clear And we've tried to cover our eyes and ears (But we can see with our hearts,) It's the greatest view from here (Chorus:) Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) Comfortable, we are so blind The vision lives on inside this wasted time And the dream is growing The time that is gone we've tasted Now we crave a different song Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) And we all know And we all know and do nothing about it And we all know We all know and do nothing do nothing We do nothing about them And if it was all turned around What do you see now? All of their many tears could drowned Apathy that' is found in you In you In you In you Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) Give them your eyes (They are no longer invisible.) We all know We all know and do nothing about it We all know We all know and I do nothing, do nothing We do nothing about it

He was given a thorn in his side Was I given the same? Around every corner in this life Lies are whispering I follow what they say As demons hide I'll curse your name And I'll say it to your face When I've died and I've touched the flame I'll know who I should blame The blankets of this leave me cold Curse my thoughts and my eyes Looking back at all of this I know Maybe I should of cried Maybe I don't mind As demons hide I'll curse your name And I'll say it to your face When I've died and I've touched the flame I'll know who I should blame You've got today But you always say That you'll change tomorrow Good intentions fade When you sit and say That you'll change tomorrow That you'll change tomorrow We have stolen blood running through Our veins like a cancer We have found a cure and it's you And we have found the answer We have found the answer As demons lie I speak your name And I'll say it to your face When I die I'll say with a smile That you are the one to blame

I watch him cry And hold onto his legs as mother waits outside for her son to come I've seen to much I haven't seen enough You haven't seen enough until you have seen a family breaking up (no one..) It's like nothing that you've felt before (No one should ever feel like...) (like this) I'll cry, but my tears won't lock the doors (no one...) It's like throwing away all of those years (no one should ever live like this.) I'll cry But my tears won't keep you here Or keep us together Fathers and Mothers Know that your sons and your daughters Might walk a road that is harder Because of the choices you've made Or the ones that you make And we have lived with your blood on our hands What we've been waiting for now... Now it's our chance We will stand Sisters and brothers From broken homes and broken lovers We will fight for something true And we will stand for something true (no one..) It's like nothing that you've felt before (no one should ever feel like...) (like this) I'll cry, but my tears won't lock the doors (no one...) It's like throwing away all of those years (no one should ever live like this.) I'll cry, but my tears won't keep you here or us together Where others have failed We will make it Where families derail We won't lose track We'll start a trail Our kin will take it We'll fight tooth and nail when lies attack Falling Leaf

They fight and it never seems like it ends "Are you too busy tonight?" When all of your children cry "Oh God, when will it end!?" Will we ever see the day The world stands as one? Love and peace are hidden Somewhere under this sun We are on our knees and Praying to end this war Time will already murder What they are fighting for Justify belief in a God that's left you behind But we're still hoping tonight That our prayers and our wishes Find a way through their hearts Will we ever see the day The world stands as one? Love and peace are hidden Somewhere under this sun We are on our knees and Praying to end this war Time will already murder What they are fighting for All of this time their burning down bridges All of this time wars fought from religions All of this time spent burning the witches All of this time they're fighting for riches All of this time their breaking the stitches All of this time their dying in ditches All of this time...

Another child is born into this pain And the unfortunate die slow Who do we blame? Give our fingers a place to go Give us a name that you know They know We all know A God we can't see (is barking orders) A thought and a dream (is more as it seems) As children play in the street (children are also crying) As they choose what to eat (children are also dying) One question started off And now there is more Are answers found in hats of thorns? What is the point? He's given us all a choice We'll flip a coin And rejoice, rejoice We rejoice! The drowning are asking "Who'll stop the rain? Have the angels all gone away?" The suffering's not passing "Who will stop the pain?" A God we can't see (is barking orders) A thought and a dream (is more as it seems) As children play in the street (children are also crying) As they choose what to eat (children are also dying)
