Terrible Things - Brick + Mortar

Once there was a healthy man He spent his lifetime workshopping robots No intentions ill or foul (I know you've heard the tune before) No intentions ill or foul In my line of darkness, your poison's kind of useless Old Mr. Corpse is rotting in the room with us I've been tortured, crawled out of purgatory Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with me? Up the ante, I'm tired of this new status quo All the agony stores enough power to know I have done some terrible things in my life I have done unbearable things But I don't want to die (I don't wanna die, don't wanna) Please don't let me die It's coming from below, they want me But I know a thing or two when it comes to being killed It might seem a bit painful But at least you get to come back again, and again, and again May I have your condolences? I know you've heard the tune before (Know you've heard the tune before) You think it's all outrageous Nevertheless, it's like I never left Now what's all the ruckus? Noises so abundant You'd think that I'd get used to this Let my insides evanesce Human contact remains very seldom All the children will channel all their powers to S-A-V-E T-H-E-M Thirty years with torture you can't comprehend Forty years, they're seeking a means to an end Fifty years attached onto puppeteer strings WHO WOULD DO SUCH TERRIBLE THINGS? I just want to die, yeah So please just let me die I'm undefeatable, I'm thriving 'Cause I know a thing or two when it comes to being killed It's oh so VERY painful And I don't want it to happen again, and again, and again It's coming for us all, I'm hiding I'm 'bout to take a blow, and I'm smiling It's oh so very painful And I don't want it to happen again, and again, and again Oh, lada-doo-a Oh, lada-dee-a Oh, lada-doo-a-ha (Oh, whoa-oh) I know you've heard the tune before (I know you've heard the tune before) Once there was a healthy man He spent his lifetime workshopping robots No intentions ill or foul And nothing in the lines of killing kids and trapping ghouls (Why'd you think that?) But then a fated moment, he caught one of his own Couldn't face the world He made a promise, and he'd harness all the anger Enough to bring his loved ones back He's gone haywire Now it's coming from below, THE HELLFIRE I'm about to make a friend but he doesn't seem that friendly! Well that goes without saying, there's no use in praying Again, and again, and again! The research in my head, it's dying! Couldn't leave it all behind and now no-one's gonna find it, find it To me it's all fine art If I could take it back, well I'd not! I guess it's all up to fate for man to reanimate

By the time I was your age I'd give anything To fall in love truly was all I could think That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen She said, "Boy, can I tell you a wonderful thing? I can't help but notice you staring at me I know I shouldn't say this but I really believe I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me" Now son, I'm only telling you this because life Can do terrible things Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink We'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything Too young to notice and too dumb to care Love was a story that couldn't compare I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing? I made you a present with paper and string Open with care now, I'm asking you please You know that I love you, will you marry me?" Now son, I'm only telling you this because life Can do terrible things You'll learn one day, I hope and I pray that God Shows you differently She said, "Boy, can I tell you a terrible thing? It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks Please don't be sad now, I really believe You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me" Slow, so slow I fell to the ground On my knees So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose If you're given the choice then I beg you choose To walk away, walk away Don't let her get you I can't bare to see the same thing happen to you Now son, I'm only telling you this because life Can do terrible things

We are human, we are violent We learn our lessons Then defy them We are heartless and immoral We carry hatred Like a bible And there's a hole in my life There's a blackness inside That's eating me alive Leaving me to decide Do I live with this pain? As the rain starts to fall from my eyes Asking myself why I see terrible things I see a sickness in a world on its knees It will take what you love like a thief But in my dreams I believe, we're not these Terrible things (ah-ah-ah) Terrible things (ah-ah-ah) We are nothing without failure But we've chosen ill behaviour With every scar, we have learned Not to heal, but to hurt We've become something else Even I cannot tell just why (why) I see terrible things I see a sickness in a world on its knees It will take what you love like a thief But in my dreams I believe, we're not these Terrible things (ah-ah-ah) Terrible things (ah-ah-ah) If I fall (if I fall) If I run (if I run) That's when I, will become Terrible things I see terrible things (I see terrible things) I see a sickness in a world on its knees (oh! on its knees) It will take what you love like a thief (oh!) But in my dreams I believe, we're not these Look at me and you'll see, I'm not these Terrible things (ah-ah-ah) Terrible things (ah-ah-ah)

It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love and I'm walking in It's quiet company It's quiet company It's quiet company And I can't fall asleep Without a little help It takes a while to settle down My shivered bones Wait till the panic's out It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break Company It's quiet company It's quiet company And I won't follow you Into the rabbit hole I said I would But then I saw Your shivered bones They didn't want me to It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders It's a terrible love that I'm walking in It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break It takes an ocean not to break

I'm brighter than the sun But I can't wait You're asking me to stay I can't escape I'm staying up all night To sleep all day I'm brighter than the sun But then one day All the things that the people say All the things that the people say The people say The people say Whoa Look, they're lying They can barely deny We're not driving We're just hitching a ride (Brighter than the sun) how'd we get here? They can barely deny (Brighter than the sun) we're not driving We're just hitching a ride I can't seem to find what we came here for Back, around New to me now to saying "No, no more" Back, around All the things that the people say All the things that the people say The people say The people say Whoa Look, they're lying They can barely deny We're not driving We're just taking a ride (Brighter than the sun) how'd we get here?

Leaking through your day? Have you ever had a nightmare Bigger than everybody? Have you ever had a thought That you know won't go away? Have you ever had a nightmare?
