Lyrics
the ground was wet and the sky was dark, you took her bet, she took your heart, wrapped it 'round an oak tree, like you did that '67 gto, oh no, lovers leave chaos and clothes, in quiet corners where you rarely ever go, one day you find proof that she was real, despite your struggle to forget, oh yes, you're in a fight to the death my friend, black metal t-shirts your shield, you've got the past on your breath my friend, now name all the monsters you've killed, let's name all the monsters you've killed, the man she chose to take your place, turns his collar up to better frame his face, how you'd love to hate her, but you just can't hate somebody you don't know, oh no, did she leave a trail of crumbs, so you could find her when you're what you could become, or did she know you well enough, to realize that garden just won't grow?, oh no, you're in a fight to the death my friend, airways a grand battlefield, you've got your past on your breath my friend, now name all the monsters you've killed, let's name all the monsters you've killed, in my sleep i build machines, but nobody ever wants to hear about my dreams, last night i saw a burning ferris wheel, the meaning's anybody's guess, oh yes, lovers leave chaos and clothes, more debris that you can sort through in one go, you say love is hell, but it's the ghost of love that's made you such a mess, oh yes, you're in a fight to the death my friend, fight like you're chained to the wheel, you've got the past on your breath my friend, now name all the monsters you've killed, let's name all the monsters you've killed
