I'm the poison laced in your pen
I'm paranoia
I'm the devil riding on your shoulder
I am fear
I'm the dread of night, night fright, fear and despair
I'm the karma that you never wanted
I'm the creepy voice inside your ear

Feel me creeping on your floor again
Hear me scratching on your door again

I am, I am a necessary evil
I am, I am ashes to ashes and dust to dust

I'm the ghost hiding in your closet
I'm hesitation
I'm anger and distrust, unjust
I'll stick to you like rust
I'm the price you pay
I'm your reckoning day
I'm the pill that is tough to swallow
No matter what you say

Feel me creeping on your floor again
Hear me scratching on your door again

I am, I am a necessary evil
I am, I am ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I am, I am an unforgiving demon
I am, I am ashes to ashes and dust to dust

And as you gazed into your own reflection
The echo of your voice cried out to you

I am, I am, I am

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
				

I can hear you crying out, echoing in the cold night
Running from the dying light, fading in the night

Show me all your battle scars
Show me your warpaint
Hell is just a waiting room, no one's getting out of here alive

You're like an animal
Fighting for survival
You're like an animal
Dying to stay alive

Standing on the burning ground, feel the heat underneath you
Waiting for the curtain call, long since overdue

Show me all your battle scars
Show me your warpaint
Hell is just a waiting room, no one's getting out of here alive

You're like an animal
Fighting for survival
You're like an animal
Dying to stay alive

In times like these, it's hard to tell the helping hand
From the clenching fist
In times like these, you better pray your rope is not on fire

Show me all your battle scars
Show me your warpaint
Hell is just a waiting room, no one's getting out of here alive

You're like an animal
Fighting for survival
You're like an animal
Dying to stay alive

You're like an animal
				

There's a man who's blissfully content with the fact that he's the only one
Who can calm the storm that's raging in her head
She's been calling names and splitting hair
Curse the world for being so unfair
Locked her heart inside a box under the bed

In a cardboard box of madness, all your secrets are safe

Break out
Break the chain and break out

All is fair in love and war, she put an axe right through the bedroom door
Now the walls are sticky, crimson red and warm
She said no one really understood because deep down she was truly good
But there's only so much pushback she can take

In a cardboard box of madness, all your secrets are safe
Spill your heart, show me your madness
All your secrets are safe with me

Right where you wanted me that is where I will be found, oh yeah
Inside this circus of chaos where up turns to down, oh nooh no

So break out
Break the chain and break out

Break out
Break the chain and break out

Break out
				

[Instrumental]
				

Let me in, I'll be your friend and tell me all your darkest secrets
I'm not the one to frown, a jealous heart is a loaded gun
I will terrorize you, hypnotize you, bring out all the rage inside you
Like creeping bugs in your skin, come on now and let me in and

Dance with me
Death will lead, and we will follow
So dance with me
Until your love for me grows cold and dies

Precious words from honey dripping lips will turn to acid
As the fever starts to take a hold on you and all you do
I can see behind those jaded eyes a yellow beast that feeds on lies
Will she follow me, lay down her life, stay right through the night

And the poison in your heart turns to fever in your skin
And suspicion comes creeping in
The way it gets inside your head, the loudness of the things unsaid
Hey, come on now my son, don't you trust anyone
Dance with me
Death will lead, and we will follow
So, dance with me
Until your love for me grows cold
Dance with me
Death will lead, and we will follow
So, dance with me
Until your love for me grows cold and dies

Dance with me
Death will lead, and we will follow
So, dance with me
Until your love for me grows cold
Dance with me
Death will lead, and we will follow
So, dance with me
Until your love for me grows cold and dies
				

I was born a Frankenstein, have mercy on my soul
I've been baptized in unholy wine, electrified, an orphan child
With thunder in my heart, lightning in my head
I come alive, so let's wake the dead

Sound the devil's bell
Send me straight to Hell
There's tiny cracks in everything
That's how they let the darkness in to us

Crooked spine and colorblind, I stepped into the night
I've been mortified, cast aside, a feeble child
And Heaven has no mercy for my kind, a creature by design
Unholy child, you're no son of mine

Sound the devil's bell
Send me straight to Hell
There's tiny cracks in everything
That's how they let the darkness into us

What if I'm the only one out here
Left to die alone in the abyss?
What if I'm the only one who calls you by your name?

Sound the devil's bell
Send me straight to Hell
There's tiny cracks in everything
That's how they let the darkness into us
Sound the devil's bell
Send me straight to Hell
There's tiny cracks in everything
That's how they let the darkness into us
				

Armed with a bottle he came through the front door
Fresh from the grave howling for more
High as a kite, splinter in eye, lord knows he's one hell of a guy
He said: all rock 'n rollers must die. So lay down and face the floor
You've got till morning and the sun comes up to give me what I'm craving for

This is the end of the line
So, lock the doors and pass the wine
Turn up the big city lights
I'm taking on these neon knights
The getting is good, and I'm in the mood
To throw some punches in the night

All is lost, nothing will remain
All is lost, playing the fool's game
You occupy my time, when you're on my mind
All is lost, all is lost

Then came the harlot, mouth like a sailor
Dressed for the killing of innocent men
Scorned to the bone, murder in mind, I swear she's a devious kind
She cried: bring me the head of the queen, I don't care too much for cake
You see I give you till the sun goes down, to hand me her fucking crown

All is lost, nothing will remain
All is lost, playing the fool's game
You occupy my time, when you're on my mind
All is lost, all is lost

Like a rat smelling a trap, like the sting from a heart attack
There's no turning back, no turning back
Like the curse down in your drink, and the ship destined to sink
There's no turning back, no turning back
				

Raging thunder, fire in the sky
Friday night and the full moon is high
Green eyed creatures scratching at the door
Hold my drink, I'll be coming back for more

Night trasher, party crasher
We're gonna keep this train wreck going til the lights come on
Hell bender, no surrender
We just need one foot in the door, four on the floor
Just give us one foot in the door

Helter skelter, writing's on the wall
Highs run low to the barkeeper's call
Howling wolves, we never drink alone
So don't wait up cause we're never coming home

Night trasher, party crasher
We're gonna keep this train wreck going til the lights come on
Hell bender, no surrender
We just need one foot in the door, four on the floor
Just give us one foot in the door

Night trasher, party crasher
We're gonna keep this train wreck going til the lights come on
Hell bender, no surrender
We just need one foot in the door, four on the floor
Just give us one foot in the door

Just give us one foot in the door
				

Just before the ocean swallowed you whole you heard the call.
Sirens singing from below made you welcoming the fall

And you feel the ocean crush you
Feel the waves pulling you under... asunder
She'll never leave you lonely
Wrap her arms around you slowly... so lovely

From the darkness in the deep you can see a shining light.
Captured by a voice divine you aband your will to fight

You hear the sound of thunder
Lightning as she pull you under... asunder
Hold your head up son
You're not alone she will embrace you... and love you

She calls my name out softly
Oh, heaven help me I am falling
Lost out on the horizon
Oh, save me, God save me now

She calls my name out softly
Oh, heaven help me I am falling
Lost out on the horizon
Oh, save me, God save me now
