lyrics

So tuck the kids in tight tonight
pick up your bags, kiss your wife goodbye
hear the night and the way the birds cry
regret the way you let your heart dry up

the wind blows and the trees shake
the cars pass and your head aches
you think about the kill you're gonna take
lick your lips and you enter the building

How'd you fall so far?
Where'd you get those scars?
Is your makeup on?
Is the camera rolling?

Wear a mask to the ball
come inside, shed it all
talk and stare at the wall
can you hear my breathing?

Inside a blank white room
staring back at you
don't make a single move
it'll only get harder

living off rotten food
but I got a sweet tooth
fatal flaw leads to you
are you really even living?

All these nails stabbing me
locked doors are all I see
some lies were told to me
locked doors are all I see
this jail I can not flea
locked doors are all I see
my veil lifts off of me
locked doors are all I see

Gas causes tears to pour
a key turns to unlock your door
glass cracks to the floor
a key turns to unlock your door
the mass greater than before
a key turns to unlock your door
your loving wife gone for sure
a key turns to unlock your door

Shots fired and we run away
we go find a safer place!
