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
