Blackened skies have followed me all my life
But it ends tonight
Crawling through the void, there is no peace for me
Destructive by nature, there's no hope for me
I tried, then I died, death is all that waits for me
All that waits for me
They warned me and I'll warn you
They'll get under your skin
They'll stick to you
And I'm only here now 'cause I made it through
I made it through
The words on this page
The blood on this stagе, that's all we have
That's what we takе to the grave
When the world starts to blur
I know they're not just words
They are more than their meaning
You and me, we die in a dream, that's all we have
To carry us away
Away
These are eyes that I can hide behind
It's easy to swallow all my lies
Truth is, these songs got a hold on me
Turned me into something I'm not supposed to be
I was found DOA in my last life
Repeat might be tonight
Blackened skies have followed me all my life
But it all ends tonight
My worst nightmares they live inside
These are ghosts that have haunted me all my life
This is a letter to all the people that I'll never meet
Farewell to everything that I was supposed to be
The words on this page
The blood on this stage, that's all we have
That's what we take to the grave
When the world starts to blur
I know they're not just words
They are more than their meaning
You and me, we die in a dream, that's all we have
To carry us away
Away
They warned me and I'll warn you
They'll get under your skin
They'll stick to you
And I'm only here now 'cause I made it through
I made it through
I'm not killing myself
I'm killing the voice that turned my head into hell
I'm not killing myself
I'm killing the voice that turned my head into hell
I'm not killing myself
I'm killing the voice that turned my head into hell
It's not that I want you to clean my thoughts from the walls
Sometimes it gets so dark I can't escape it all
I don't want you to hear about my death and wonder how
But I've tried thrice, I shouldn't be here now
Could that really happen?
Could you all just vanish?
Could that really happen?
I'm afraid to ask it

Scott Lewis:
This was almost the title track under a different name, which was ‘What We Take to the Grave,’ but we scrapped that idea. It’s one of those songs where you don’t want to write the same thing over and over, but you do want to give the fans what they expect. So, we embraced a little more...
