[Verse 1]
How you turn my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
You've run so long, you've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
[Chorus]
Over the edge, I want to believe
I want to preserve this legacy
Do you mean what you say
In the “art” you create?
You’re digging your grave, my helpless enemy
The rain will wash away the blood
And all the gears will start to rust
In vain you destroy all I’ve loved
For them, I sing this threnody
[Refrain]
(La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la)
[Verse 2]
Bring me the head, rip the heart from my chest
'Cause the person that you knew, that you loved is dead
No cure, so tonight is the night
I'm going back on the deals with the devil I signed
[Chorus]
Over the edge, I want to believe
I want to preserve this legacy
Do you mean what you say
In the “art” you create?
You’re digging your grave, my helpless enemy
The rain will wash away the blood
And all the gears will start to rust
In vain you destroy all I’ve loved
For them, I sing this threnody
[Refrain]
(La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la)
[Bridge]
Somehow I will break and destroy you
And reveal what was hidden in plain view
This disguise was designed
To deflect all that I couldn't show you
I'm cursed right to the bone with apathy
A guest in my own home is how I feel
Dear sanity, I miss you so, come back to me
[Outro]
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
[Refrain]
(La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la)
