Sink your teeth into me, Bite so hard it bleeds, I need some answers more than ever, please! We are fallen angels with no place to go we are fallen
This song goes out To all the hopeless sinners With grave allegiances So meaningless and vain The walking wounded In a pageant of contenders Who balance
