        sweet   vandals wrongly entered this temple I have built 
  
  
I'd end my suffering 
But I love my precious guilt 
My music comes from depression 
And I've always held her near 
It's my biggest inspiration 
A comforting and friendly ear

You treat me like you understand

Well, you're offending me

I found your empty cigarettes 
And I wished I could be cold and hard as stone 
Cause when I cry I can taste your smoky breath 
And I cry alone, I cry alone

Cause this is me up here 
And I bare my soul for you 
Have you bared your soul for me

Look at you standing there 
You wanna taste my drunken brain 
And do you think I'll taste the same 
I don't think so
