All I really want is something beautiful to say Keep me locked up in your broken mind I keep searchin, never been able to find a Light behind your dead eyes Not anything at all You keep living in your own lie, ever deceitful and ever unfaithful Keep me guessin, keep me terrified Take everything from my world Say can you help me right before the fall Take what you can and leave me to the wolves Keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed Why try swimming? I'm drowning in fables You're not that saint that you externalize You're not anything at all It's oh-so playful when you demonize To spit out the hateful, you're willing and able Words are weapons I'd be terrified You're nothing in my world Say can you help me right before the fall Take what you can and leave me to the wolves All I really want is something beautiful to say Keep me guessin, keep me terrified All I really want is something beautiful to say You keep livin' in your own lie All I really want is something beautiful to say To never fade away, I wanna live forever! All I really want is something beautiful to say To never fade away, I wanna live forever! You keep living in your own lie Keep me guessin, keep me terrified All I really want is something beautiful to say Say can you help me right before the fall Take what you can and leave me to the wolves All I really want is something beautiful to say Words are weapons I'd be terrified All I really want is something beautiful to say Keep me guessin, keep me terrified All I really want is something beautiful to say To never fade away, I wanna live forever! All I really want is something beautiful to say To never fade away, I wanna live forever!
