We Black Hearts Bear the Cross

Your father hated me
while your mother disapproved
they set all the rules
that you never listened to
yeah, you never listened to
i was your escape (your getaway)
so send me off to hell
i prefer the warm weather
let my passion speak for itself
no i wouldnt have it any other way
and Jesus Christ we were such great sinners
and i wont look back
on the empty, empty california, empty california winters
we sure know how to live cus i feel so alive, yes i feel so alive
while others feel so dead
so you can nail me up
you can crucify me
good or bad at least i pushed the limits
at least you can say "i lived it"
at least you can say "i lived it"
i was never the one to hold my breath
never the one to bite my tongue
after all the critics i'll be the bad guy
i'll take the burden for the person you've become
on the empty, empty california, empty california winters
we sure know how to live cus i feel so alive, yes i feel so alive
while others feel so dead
we we we sure know how to live
sure know how to sin
probably why i drink like a fish
trying to drown all my problems but they learn to swim
still i rise above it all this hate but somehow i love it
shit, you can prolly tell by the sound of it lookin back now man, im pretty proud of it
there's a hole in my chest where my heart once was
now its vacant, i need a replacement
im surrounded by girls who are just as heartless
but im known to em all see i've grown complacent
really i just need a vacation, workin all these hours im sick of the grave shift
overnight drives on tours drive through the matrix
its hard to stay real when im surrounded by fake shit
and Jesus Christ we were such great sinners
and i wont look back
on the empty, empty california, empty california winters
we sure know how to live cus i feel so alive, yes i feel so alive
while others feel so dead
so so so dead
so dead
so dead
so dead
sooooooooooooooooooo
