Senses Fail lyrics
Album: Let It Enfold You [2004]
| Tie Her Down | |
|
Verse 1:
So love me gently with a chainsaw
And take the glass against your wrists
You know I am your worst nightmare
Oh, how you love my bloody kiss
Pre-Chorus 1:
But it's time to die
You're worth more dead
Chorus:
Tell me your fantasies
I'll make you believe
That I really care
I'll look into your eyes
I'll tell you all my lies
As I take you slow
Verse 2:
So love me gently with a chainsaw
I'll leave you like your father did
I'll bite your lip, so fucking, so hard
And watch the innocence just drip
Pre-Chorus 2:
It down your chest
And into my mouth
Chorus:
Tell me your fantasies
I'll make you believe
That I really care
I'll look into your eyes
I'll tell you all my lies
As I take you slow
Bridge:
Some day your tears will go away...
Some day your tears will go away
A bitter ending from a slow decay
Some day your tears will go away
And I'll sit here with a smile and a match
Outro:
"That night!" she cried, the heartache
"The lies!" she cried, the heartache
"Alive!" she cried, the heartache
"End your life!" she cried, the heartache

| Lady in a Blue Dress | |
|
Just like a lady in a blue dress
You've got cigarettes on your breath
Hair spray and some cheap perfume
I'll put a little sour in your sweet
You've got so much fucking tongue in cheek
You want what you can never have
You say
That you want respect
Well then you better get
Some for yourself
Cause all
That I see right now
Is somebody whos
Lost and insecure
So you say that I am rated X
You suffer from the lack of sex
Black heart and your lipsticks smeared
Your points are trite
And I'm too sober
To deal with you running over
Your same pathetic cliche lines
Don't try to be cute with me
Cause I know you hate yourself
And you'd end your stupid life now
But you're too spineless
Just like the lady in the blue dress
You've got cigarettes on your breath
Hair spray and some cheap perfume

| You're Cute When You Scream | |
|
Fuck with
My heart
I'll teach you what it's like
To be
So used
That you have to clean
The dirt
Stuck in
Your plastic finger nails
And just the scent of you is enough
To make me sick
And all I know is
Revenge is sweet when
You know that you are worthless
And I am better than
The games that you play princess
I've played and always win
I'll take
My time
To slowly plot your end
But now
I will
Spit bullets with my pen
And all I know is
You're cute when you scream
I'll take you to the top
Of this building and just push you off
Run down the stairs so I can see
Your face as you hit the street
|
| Buried a Lie | |
|
rest in piece girl
your death was such a shame
the papers said a bullet got in your way
but i smell foul play
possible poisening
i had to bring you in for questioning
i went to your grave
dug up your body
brougt it to my house
where you lay
chours
so lets play doctor babe
we'll operate today
incisions must be made
you could help solve this case
for me
i headed downtown
to share what i had found
its not a suicide its a crime
i have a witness
its trully evident
there had to be some one else presesnt
at the time of death
poisens in stomache
how could she pull it
if shes dead
chours
We need a scalpel now
Under white lights you lay
We've got to hurry up
Before the flesh decays away
ill catch the murder
and send him away
ill get the evidence
from your last day
(your last day,your last day)
chours
so lets play doctor babe
we'll operate today
incisions must be made
you could help solve this case
we need a scouple now
under white lights u lay
weve got to hurry up before the flesh decays away

| Bite to Break Skin | |
|
So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song now
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot
On your heel
Each breath
Is getting slower
This war
Is getting harder
To fight by myself
Sick waves
Of bitter fashion
Rip down
The shield that I have
Tears rain from above
So you see?
The life I lead?
So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
To poisons dry
These bayonet scars
Never cease
To blind the light shed from the beast
And all we do is hate
Eyes shot
From constant visions
Angels
Rendered useless
Good has lost its heart
So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed
To poisons dry
For you
Bite to break skin
Don't give the secrets
My stoic face
Beaten with passion
The Pheonix will die
Inside the fire storm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps
|
| Rum Is for Drinking, Not for Burning | |
|
This captain goes down with his ship
All hands on deck Stand hip to hip
I shout the orders Shoot to kill
I'm dressed to thrill
I'm dressed to thrill
And all my enemies
I want their eyes to see
Their captain walk the plank
Destroy them rank by rank
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won but war has just begun
And as we grow emotion starts to die
We need to find a way just to keep our desire alive
Now set the sail to quarter mast
We'll jump their ship we'll sink 'em fast
Men follow me to victory
Red as the sea
Red as the sea
And to the cannons roar
Their bodies dance ashore
A pirates life for me
I wont go quietly
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won but war has just begun
And as we grow emotion starts to die
We need to find a way just to keep our desire alive
And to my damsel in distress
You've made a mess of your new dress
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won but war has just begun
And as we grow emotion starts to die
We need to find a way just to keep our desire alive
|
| Slow Dance | |
|
If you pull too hard
Then the string will break
And if you leave the slack
Then the string won't hold
So how can we find ourselves
Trapped in our own private hells
Where we just scream but no one can hear
X marks the spot where the dig begins
The treasure is found within
The broken hearts that are soaked with fear
Fill the glass to this brim
And it will spill out
Keep on the sharpening the knife
And it will be so blunt
To be at one with all you life
And do without doing a thing
Don't try too hard to understand
Or you'll miss the miss the point at hand

| Choke on This | |
|
Half smoked cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets
can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
A de-tox in the cold sweat of shame
and i love your pain
I gave you these roses now but i left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf
So this love's been worn down, like songs on a tape
The sex has lost all of its fun, like gum loses taste
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust,
A de-tox in the cold sweat of shame
and i love your pain
I gave you these roses now but i left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf
I'm here back in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
"You can be my james dean, I'll be your sweet queen"
I said that you were my first, but you weren't even close now
Like a frame in a movie, you're just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish
Play russian roulette as we kiss
I'll be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me
I gave you these roses now but i left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

| NJ Falls into the Atlantic | |

It's 4 am and we will stalk again
The princess and your better queen.
On the fourth day of july
Deep in summer's eye,
Naked like the truth should always be.
So speak your mind.
(Don't folow, with your foot)
All this pain here.
(All comes from, your trial)
I won't listen.
(Your memory, is bleeding)
My lies are faced with blue.
Coming straight from off the wires
Southern face and drunken father
Crying as shes carving in her flesh
It's 4 am and we will stalk again
The princess and your better queen.
On the fourth day of july
Deep in summer's eye,
Naked like the truth should always be.
This falls on
(All palm trees, and trash heaps)
This burning bed
(Where my eyes, will not sleep)
Watching romance from a far,
See bleeding from the glass on my feet
Learning I love the smell of flesh.
It's 4 am and we will stalk again
The princess and your better queen.
On the fourth day of july
Deep in summer's eye,
Naked like the truth should always be.
An angel, on his two knees.
Arms stretched, toward a red sea
Of violence, and assultry done.
The scenic, view of carnage
Caused by, the sore in his hands
The beauty resonates in birth.
Its plain to see, the wind beneath the trees.
Flowing free, the summer breeze is sweet.
But in this place, im choked by my own air.
I love the taste, of your blackened lips.
It's 4 am and we will stalk again
The princess and your better queen.
On the fourth day of july
Deep in summer's eye,
Naked like the truth should always be.

| Let It Enfold You | |
|
So the lie now is my weapon
Like a bush dried and withered in the sun
With a spark I'll go up in flames
I'd lay my guts out but they're too small to see
It's kinda cute how I pretend to be
Everything but the instrument I am
Peace or happiness
So let in enfold you
A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes
So it's true my words are contrived
I tell lies just to get into your mind
I'm as fake as a widow's smile
This mask of glass is what I choose to wear
So I won't ever have the need to bear
To tell truth to anyone but me
Peace or happiness
So let in enfold you
A birth to life is what I'm after
My first name won't be my last one
Let the light just drip into your eyes
I'm just a bad actor stuck with a shitty script
All of the lines are cheap and the cast weak
There was no music for the first time I got kissed
There was no Femme Fatale my mistress wasn't rich
So I've been formatted to fit your TV screen
The film went straight to tape
I'll bow out quietly
So quietly . . .
So quietly . . .
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
Please save me, please save me
Please do this now I beg
Duct tape my arms and legs
Throw me into the sea
Please save me, please save me
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
You can't save me, can't save me
Now watch the waves eat me
Setting my cold heart free
I'll wash ashore in weeks
You can't save me, can't save me now

| Angela Baker and My Obsession With Fire | |
|
I won't forget the day that
That I ccame to
And I started thinkingthat there's more
Than just perfect prom queens and silver spoons
And all I ever wanted
Was someone
To know me back to
The bliss of ignorance
Cause I feel like running head first into traffic
And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
I won't forget the day that
That I found God
In a kitchen knife and on my arm
So paint the pail white floor with
With my red life
And tell me that this pain is
The pain you love
As I swallow the pills happiness
And you watch me fall like
New York in a earthquake
And so I'm here to say
That thoughts in bed with pain
I stand outside my pretty house
I light a match to start the fire
I called the cops to let 'em know
It's 22 Walthery Avenue
I thought I wanted this
I'm here to say
I said I wanted some more attention
I thought I wanted a story ending
I think the truth is I'm scared
I think that I'm just scared to live
I think that the truth is
I'm everything that I hate

| Martini Kiss | |
|
There's poison in my drinking glass
Don't stop just sip it down
And in a swirling masquerade of sound
My body hits the ground
I'm beautiful when I'm asleep
Martini kisses land
On my blistered bloody scarlet lips
The bottles in my hand
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
I'll speak in riddles so you can understand
I'll draw in pencil so you can trace with pen
So in love with me like sand to wet feet
I'll write both our names into the wet concrete
We're glistening like silver spoons
Beneath the summer night
Oh can you smell the ubtle hint of frost
As the flowers start to cry
The Autumn winds are bringing graves
To all the emerald trees
They're so beautiful in their own dismay
The colours slowly bleed
The pawns will fade away
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
The kings at his checkmate
Burn out not fade away
Burn out not fade away
And I sit here
With a sick grin
Choking as I laugh until I die
