Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Skull
[Verse 2]
They all know
They all know
[Verse 3]
Sorry, did I wake your dream?
Some questions run too deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light
Trouble's all we find
Lost our way tonight
(Tonight, tonight)
[Verse 4]
Is it somethin' we said?
Is it somethin' we said to them?
Is it somethin' we said?
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world (Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same
As every other
We're only here to die (Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream (Save me)
I can use some guidin' light
Some place to go
Ya hear me, let me know
[Verse 5]
They all know
They all know
[Verse 6]
Ever since the day you left
My fate's been set unknown
How many years
To walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight
So why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
(I shut mine, I shut mine)
[Verse 7]
Is it somethin' we did?
Is it somethin' we did to them?
Is it somethin' we did?
[Verse 8]
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world (Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same
As every other
We're only here to die (Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream (Save me)
I can use some guidin' light
Some place to go
If ya hear me, let me know
If ya hear me. let me know
[Verse 9]
Help me find my way
Said, help me find my way
[Verse 10]
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies, and to a degree
Losing who I wanna be
You'll find out right now
He may be out of his mind
But someday, you will find
That sanity's left us all blind
And dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes
Crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die
I say it just moves on
[Verse 11]
If you'd only open your mind
Then someday, you will find
Insanity left us behind
And walked right through the door
I can see the pictures clear as yesterday
Pictures all my own
I can hear the voices beggin' you to stay
But know you're not alone
[Verse 12]
(Save me)
I'm trapped in a vile world (Save me)
Where the endgame's all the same
As every other
We're only here to die (Save me)
I'm losin' my only dream (Save me)
I can use some guidin' light
Some place to go
If ya hear me, let me know
If ya hear me, let me know
[Verse 13]
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die young
Tonight, we all die
Tonight, we all die young
