[Spoken]
Can I get everybody just to take one step back
From each other, just take one step back
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, there we go, thank you
[Verse 1]
They found an empty bottle on her windowsill
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills
She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in color when you're miserable
[Chorus]
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
We're still right here by your side
[Verse 2]
No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now she clings to life inside a hospital
Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Oh, stuck here living someone else's dream
But beyond your window there is so much more
Even every prison has a open door
[Chorus]
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
It's just not your time to die
[Bridge]
Go! Hey!
And while- the angels sleep!
All of the devils are awake
Waiting to- steal your love!
Oh, right outside of Heaven's gate
And all the- the sacred hearts!
Can't numb this feeling from the pain
'Cause when the- drugs don't work!
You're gonna curse his holy name
Dear God! Oh, God! Oh, dear God! Oh, God!
[Interlude]
Oh, Veronika- Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
[Chorus]
Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
We're still right here by your side
Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika
It's just not your time to die
[Outro]
Yah, yeah, yeah, hey!
[Spoken]
Dankeschön! I don't normally do this type of shit
Because I think it's pretty cheesy, uh
But, uh, I think in this situation
It might actually work really well
Uh, is it possible for all of you to like
Light your phones up, you know
Like they do that at like big pop concerts, yeah
Stuff like that, because this song is about, eh
Leaving this earth and this plane and
Transitioning to another one, up into the stars
Oh, that is so, that's so beautiful
