Tonight I find myself alone I bed And I still remember every word that you said Goodbye echoes inside of my head But that was years ago and I can’t recall your name Only a figure and face As my fingertips trace The last place our eyes had met The last space where I am dead Where I am dead Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this It goes something like this I gave up on us that night I gave in to all my pride I held your hand so tight But slipped a bottle inside A pillbox controls my mind So close yet out of sight Your name escapes in time Where once our fingers entwined Now I hold my iron and wine Sobbing soaked I choke daylight Awaiting the night Tonight I wish that things might change But I remain locked in a box of chains Goodbye resounds in what I have made And it was years ago that I first called your name Oh your figure and face My fingers reached for grace The last chance I placed my bet The last glance that shot me dead Shot me dead Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this It goes something like this I gave up on us that night I gave in to all my pride I held your hand so tight But slipped a bottle inside A pillbox controls my mind So close yet out of sight Your name escapes in time Where once our fingers entwined Now I hold my iron and wine Sobbing soaked I choke daylight Awaiting the night Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this Never was a worse day Never was a worse day for something like this For something like this

I’d buy you fresh flowers every day I’d leave on the table by the door So you might think of me while you’re away We’d take vacations to the seashore Where and when I’d tell you I love you more every day And you would say Today is the day There are no more words to say To share how I feel right now From the sand on the beach to stars in the sky Hand in hand we can reach every star shining bright From our minds to our hearts to our souls We two have become one whole You are my world and I love you so I’d lay my kiss on your cheek Every night before you sleep And drift off into dreams Of soft spring streams Of autumn breeze shiver leaves on oak trees Until you awake in wrapped in silver sheets Where and when I’d tell you I love you more every day And you would say Today is the day There are no more words to say To share how I feel right now From the sand on the beach to stars in the sky Hand in hand we can reach every star shining bright From our minds to our hearts to our souls We two have become one whole You are my world and I love you so You know I’d die to save your life I’d sell my soul just to keep you close I am the shoulder on which you cry Those are the nights in which time slows I am your iron you are my wine I know all I need is our love so glorious so alive It doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter when All that matters is that I let you know I love you so much more every single day I love you so And you will always say Today is the day There are no more words to say To share how I feel right now From the sand on the beach to stars in the sky Hand in hand we can reach every star shining bright From our minds to our hearts to our souls We two have become one whole You are my world and I love you so

Oh I'm an instigator I'm a hellhound hater You know I wish I’d thought this through But when I feel rock And I feel the roll You know the rush is what has got me through My bodies in shock My mind is out cold And now I'm smoking and I'm drinking and I am totally out of control If you want just a little love If you need just scream and shout If you know push comes to shove Then you know what I'm all about Then follow me to the easy way out Oh we’re streetwise trash We’re in knee-high cash You know we never thought this through But when we feel the rock And we feel the roll You know the rush is what has got us through Our bodies on the block Our brains burning oil And now we’re choking now we’re sinking and we are totally out of control If you want just a little love If you need just scream and shout If you know push comes to shove Then you know what I'm all about Then follow me to the easy way out Oh rock and roll aint just for kids It’s for us all who never grow old You know rock and roll aint just for kicks We’ll sing along until we break the mold

This blade so sharp Has played its part Cut through the depths So perilous Within my heart When I lose my head I search the shed To find my mind But it seems this time I'm as good as dead Now what's so bad Bout being sad And giving in I've given up On drink and drugs Yet I still sin Spin and spit and slit my throat To cleanse my soul Maybe baby you'll my shady blood soaked coat I hung it outside of my hole I dug in deep The walls are steep And I got no rope Seems like I said I'm good as dead Without a hope Well one day I hope they’ll say He was a good man who just lost his way Because sometimes lies Sound so much more nice Than what we hide from the light of day So the story ends When the madman grins What else can I say Sometimes evil wins Such is the way of men Coloring the sunshine in shades of gray
