Like Two Lovers in Pompeii (Remix) - Olé Ask

You've got it all backwards And upside down Don't see a problem when a youth is lying face down In a puddle of blood, a concrete cemetery (cemetery) I've wondered, I've pondered what he could have been thinking Before they filled his back with lead A deadly portrait was painted, black and blue with a splash of red Livid You think that this is your world And we're just living in it So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth You're finished Last round, knocked down, lights out Good riddance, yea God knows I'm livid Hands up if you wanna catch a bullet Get on the ground Get on the ground and Beg for your life No peace, no truth No shame, aim and shoot No rights, no apologies Dead to rights, born to bleed Break the oath you swore If I'm a bull, you're the matador With blood on your hands and fear in your heart I swear I'll rip you apart We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye Livid You think that this is your world And we're just living in it So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth You're finished Last round, knocked down, lights out Good riddance, yeah God knows I'm livid No use in seeking justice It always ends up the same No use in seeking justice It always ends up the same (No justice, no justice, no justice!) The odds are stacked against the victim Always taking the blame (Always taking the blame) No one's perfect But you're far from innocent Live life colorblind Or reap the consequence Hell on earth Livid Livid With blood on your hands And fear in your heart (and fear in your heart) I swear I'll rip you apart

I'm holding on To the only fleeting Part of me That keeps me in myself I'm falling Deeper into that which has A grip on my insides And all that is without Now for the vanishing act, oh my God The shadows, the walls, have always had my back I scratch my skin til I bleed, drown in my river of need Caught in the noose of self reduction Running my body to bone, the reaper of what I sow Disgusting existence All eyes behold, lend me your glare Behold the burden I bear Please, let me breathe The silence is my friend now Please, let me be No one needs to know what I feel Please, can't you see? You're only wasting your time Please, let me rot in my own skin If my mind is the ocean, your words are the undertow Wrapped around my ankles, and they're pulling me below So when I've reached the bottom, healing water will fill my lungs Take a look back through the water, and watch what I become

Crushed by the weight of the war waged within me Drowning in all of the blood that I've lost Dragged down deep into insanity Help me please! Out of many I am one Being burned by the rays of the sun I will wither away, growing weak with each day And soon enough I will break Will there ever be an end? If there's not I'll just pretend All is well and I can be Fully healed and fully free Silent screams in my head Am I better off dead? Rip my flesh, feel my pain Pour out my words through open veins Never eat, never sleep So if you need me I'll be Rotting in my hopelessness Weary souls receive no rest A razor or a bottle could bring me to tomorrow But that would only work for so long If God could heal my pain or rid me of this sorrow Why is He testing my patience? Haven't I suffered enough? Haven't I suffered enough?

It was the last day of summer It was the first of a new romance He walked into her on the corner She said, I don't dance He said, baby let me teach you She said, ok, when? He said, how can I reach you baby? I'd really like to see you again He picked her up on a friday night He took her for a bite to eat His heart was beating and his hands were shaking She thought he was sweet And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek And he walked her home and he kissed her He was walking on air all week Well, they couldn't stand to be apart They couldn't leave one another alone Her mama used to say, It's getting late sweetheart It's time that boy went home! And upstairs papa kissed mama And she gave him a sweet caress He said, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness! It was the last day of summer They came walking home hand in hand They went and told her mama They showed her the wedding band Mama cried and poured the wine Papa just said God bless! Now, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness!
