HALLOWEEN
So are you asking me
Why I look so thin?
I know it's coming from
Somewhere warm
But there's panic in your handwriting
I can hear it when you speak
Desperate and quietly
(Are you gonna say it to me?)
Chained me to the headboard
But the wood is splintering
Breathing in blood like oxygen
I tried to believe
Every Halloween
That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good
I let it bleed
I would trade anything
You can take my life instead
'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
I heard the front door ringing
I heard the bell crack when it fell from the ceiling
I felt the church collapse
And the whole damn choir kept singing from the back
So we are here to say
What a shame
(What would you say about me?)
The only thing I ever learned about luck
Was the lack thereof
And the crowd ran rings around the cenotaph
Laying down wreaths
Made of barbed wire and broken glass
There's blood on the contract
There's a burning in the forecast
I tried to believe
Every Halloween
That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good
I let it bleed
I would trade anything
You can take my life instead
'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
So we are here to say
What a shame
What a life it could've been
So we are here to say
What a shame
Take my life instead
I'm undeserving
I tried to believe
Every Halloween
That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good
I let it bleed
I would trade anything
You can take my life instead
'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
Hell ain't all that bad
Bad
Why I look so thin?
I know it's coming from
Somewhere warm
But there's panic in your handwriting
I can hear it when you speak
Desperate and quietly
(Are you gonna say it to me?)
Chained me to the headboard
But the wood is splintering
Breathing in blood like oxygen
I tried to believe
Every Halloween
That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good
I let it bleed
I would trade anything
You can take my life instead
'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
I heard the front door ringing
I heard the bell crack when it fell from the ceiling
I felt the church collapse
And the whole damn choir kept singing from the back
So we are here to say
What a shame
(What would you say about me?)
The only thing I ever learned about luck
Was the lack thereof
And the crowd ran rings around the cenotaph
Laying down wreaths
Made of barbed wire and broken glass
There's blood on the contract
There's a burning in the forecast
I tried to believe

That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good

'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
So we are here to say
What a shame
What a life it could've been
So we are here to say
What a shame
Take my life instead
I'm undeserving
I tried to believe
Every Halloween
That if I gave enough
And paid in blood
I'd have you back for good
I let it bleed
I would trade anything
You can take my life instead
'Cause I hear hell ain't all that bad
Hell ain't all that bad
Bad
