Leech

[Verse 1: Joel Madden]
Born to the leeches, born on the ground
Left in a dark room to figure it out
In the mausoleums were written inscriptions
We'd run through the graveyard, seeking salvation

[Chorus: Joel Madden]
Father, locked out
You gave me your demons, you weren't around
Mother, you were too late somehow
You gave me your voices, and you said to make you proud

[Verse 2: Joel Madden]
Thrown to the vultures, fighting it out
Licking each other's wounds, but we'd never cry out loud
Don't follow the leader, the leader was headless
Maybe it's obvious we were born to be in hell

[Chorus: Joel Madden]
Father, locked out
You gave me your demons, you weren't around
Mother, you were too late somehow
You gave me your voices, and you said to make you proud

[Bridge: Sam Carter]
You could never treat these wounds, how long they've been open
You could never mend these bones, how long they've been broken
You're trying to save a soul, you never had hope in
Maybe it's all my fault, but all I know is

[Chorus: Choir & Joel Madden]
Father, locked out
You gave me your demons, you weren't around
Mother, you were too late somehow
You gave me your voices, and you said to make you proud
Father, locked out
Maybe it's obvious we were born to be in hell
