Death is constant and viscious, but so far I've escaped.

I've come into this painful world, full of mental rape.

But then I met an angel, clad in beauty, armed with laughter.

She used humor to perfect the moment, and every moment after.

 

chorus:

so live to die, by yourself,

forget everybody else.

all the lessons I have learned,

lay on the ground as I am burnt... as I'm burnt... as I'm burnt.

 

verse 2:

But then she left me winded, burning in a mental blaze.

I slowly withered away, losing count of the lost days.

Not knowing how this came to be, not wanting to see their eyes,

Probing, Watching, Laughing, at my failure and demise.

 

Chorus:

so live to die, by yourself.

forget everybody else.

all the lessons I have learned,

lay on the ground as I am burnt... as i'm burnt... as I'm burnt.

 

End verse:

Bleeding out of unreal wounds, desperately trying to survive.

I touch my face. . .

   then sigh releved. . .

I made it. I'm alive. . .

 

Chorus:

so live to die, by yourself,

forget everybody else.

all the lessons I have learnt,

lay on the ground as I'm burnt. . . as I'm burnt. . . as I'm burnt.

 

but then I rise and you are there,

with your tears I know you care.

then you slowly turn away.

thats the price that I must pay.

 

Final verse:

But then I met an angel, clad in beauty, armed in laughter.

I hope she's happy now, forever, ever after. . .
