Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mind of destructive taste
I choose... to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart
Lost in the dark
Call off the chase
[Verse 2]
Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time...
I think of you
Oh, yes I do
Such a crime
[Verse 3]
You opened fire...
And your mark was true
You opened fire...
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire...
[Verse 4]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
[Verse 5]
Lines cut across my face
Why you laugh at my disgrace
I'll never know
How far to go
To reach that place
[Verse 6]
You opened fire...
And your mark was true
You opened fire...
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire...
[Verse 7]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
[Verse 8]
You opened fire...
And your mark was true
You opened fire...
Aim my smiling skull at you
You opened fire...
[Verse 9]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
[Verse 10]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
[Verse 11]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
[Verse 12]
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow, in a sea of sorrow
