Nothing Good Happens After 12 - AllenOutHere

Who's blood is this on my hands I'm not sure the color doesn't look so divine It feels the same consistency and pigment The rusted taste resembles that of mine Down we go Feel defeat, the lies, the dreams All we've known Suffocate, annihilate Every meaning, every feeling I've lost Nothing gold No, nothing gold can stay (What's dead is done) With one foot in One foot in the grave (Deny the chosen one) Nothing gold No, nothing gold can stay (Run to eternity) With one foot in One foot in the grave (Embrace the infinity) The madness burns in our eyes Warmth from the fire As ashes fall from the sky Set ablaze In ruins I've let go to waste Drenched in decay from the start Memories all fade away Every meaning, every feeling, I have lost Down beneath under my skin I feel a vacancy moving within The darkest cold The fleeting lights The final respite to get through the night Feel defeat Breathe relief All the pain is leaving, misleading, deceiving Everything doesn't mean anything to me Suffocate Seal your fate Separate the guilt and faults from your own mind (Embrace the infinity) Nothing gold No, nothing gold can stay (What's dead is done) With one foot in One foot in the grave (Deny the chosen one) Nothing gold No, nothing gold can stay (Run to eternity) With one foot in One foot in the grave (Embrace the infinity)

If you fall, then I will too Into nothin' ever after Do we have to face the truth? I'll look away, neglect the wounds All the warning signs we refused to see Like a hurricane that's drownin' me So we build it up just to tear it down But the pieces don't fit now We're fallin' apart, we're fading away Pretending the damage doesn't matter Ignoring the scars, but now it's too late We settle for nothin' ever after, let's slip away We've been dreamin' wide awake Feedin' poison to each other It's too hard to walk away 'Cause it's easier to suffer So we build it up just to tear it down But the pieces don't fit now We're fallin' apart, we're fading away Pretending the damage doesn't matter Ignoring the scars, but now it's too late We settle for nothin' ever after, let's slip away Nothing! Nothing! We're fallin' apart, we're fading away Pretending the damage doesn't matter Ignoring the scars, but now it's too late We'll settle for nothin' ever after Let's slip away Let's slip away Let's slip away We're fallin' apart, we're fading away Pretending the damage doesn't matter Ignoring the scars, but now it's too late We settle for nothing Ever after (ever after) Ever after (ever after) Ever after (ever after) Ever after (ever after) We settle for nothing Ever after

Once upon a time Is how it always goes But I'll make it brief What was started out With such excitement Now I gladly end with relief In what now has become a familiar motif That nothing is good enough for people like you Who have to have someone take the fall And something to sabotage Determined to lose it all Critics at their worst Could never criticize The way that you do No, there's no one else I find To undermine or dash a hope Quite like you And you do it so casually, too 'Cause nothing is good enough for people like you Who have to have someone take the fall And something to sabotage Determined to lose it all Ladies and gentlemen Here's exhibit A Didn't I try again And did the effort pay? Wouldn't a smarter man Simply walk away? It doesn't really help That you can never say What you're looking for But you'll know it when you hear it Know it when you see it Walk through the door So you say, so you've said Many times before But nothing is good enough for people like you Who have to have someone take the fall And something to sabotage Determined to lose it all Nothing is good enough

Today I got a letter from someone Just a friend we knew some time ago And as I read between the lines I began to realize He didn't know I lost you a long long time ago. Oh, I just can't make it any longer Everything I do is always wrong I'm livin' a lie and there's no need in tryin' To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone. --- Instrumental --- Lord, I wish that I could die and there's no use in tryin' To keep hangin' on after all the good is gone...

I know you're leavin' me I know I'm not your home You want a movie dancer You want blood from a stone But I'm on to you And you will pour your heart into Any shimmering fad Throwin' good after bad People get addicted to The rush, the chase, the new Just hopin' that all that chaos Will lead to somethin' like this I'll get over you But you won't be whole until you do You won't find what you had Throwin' good after bad And I'll always feel a little left behind But that lyin' wind that calls your name Will leave you flowin' blind Are you fantasizin'?
