Lyrics

[Chorus]
Wake up (Wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little make up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable (You wanted to)
[Verse 1]
Grab a brush and put a little make up (You wanted to)
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (You wanted to)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? (You wanted to)
[PreChorus]
I don't think you trust
In my
Self-righteous suicide
I cry
When angels deserve to
Die
[Chorus]
Wake up (Wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little make up
Hide the scars to fade away the– (Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable (You wanted to)
[Chorus]
Grab a brush and put a little make up (You wanted to)
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (You wanted to)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? (You wanted to)
[PreChorus]
I don't think you trust
In my
Self-righteous suicide
I cry
When angels deserve to die
In my
Self-righteous suicide
I cry
When angels deserve to die
[Bridge]
Father (Father)
Father (Father)
Father (Father)
Father (Father)
[Verse 2]
Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes, forsaken me
In your thoughts, forsaken me
In your heart, forsaken me, oh
[Chorus]
Trust in my
Self-righteous suicide
I cry
When angels deserve to die
In my
Self-righteous suicide
I cry
When angels deserve to die
