Scrape another line on the wall, have you ever felt this satisfied?
Angels pine for freedom in solitude severed looking for a new place to hide
Yesterday is laying like carrion, tomorrow's just a shadow of nine o clock
Waiting in the wake of a travesty, comfort in the pale neon prison block
Everything is beautiful nothing here is sure to lack
This is what you wanted, there's no reason to look back
Smoke surrounds amnesia of poverty, painted whores to laugh in the alley
Jaded faces donate an eye to me hoping for a tragic finale
Dressing up the nothing of fantasy, hatred for the tears in the mirror
Music drives the silence of vanity, crystal ball has never looked clearer
Everything is beautiful nothing here is sure to lack
This is what you wanted, there's no reason to look back
Angels pine for freedom in solitude severed looking for a new place to hide
Yesterday is laying like carrion, tomorrow's just a shadow of nine o clock
Waiting in the wake of a travesty, comfort in the pale neon prison block
Everything is beautiful nothing here is sure to lack
This is what you wanted, there's no reason to look back
Smoke surrounds amnesia of poverty, painted whores to laugh in the alley
Jaded faces donate an eye to me hoping for a tragic finale
Dressing up the nothing of fantasy, hatred for the tears in the mirror
Music drives the silence of vanity, crystal ball has never looked clearer
Everything is beautiful nothing here is sure to lack
This is what you wanted, there's no reason to look back
