1. THE BLEEDING (ALBUM VERSION)

Rise

I remember when, all the games began
Remember every little
(Every little lie), lie and every last goodbye
Promises you broke, words you choked on
And I never walked away
(Never walked away), it's still a mystery to me

Well I'm so, empty
I'm better off without you, and you're better off without me
Well you're so, unclean
I'm better off without you, and you're better off without me
Right
The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart, the hatred
Deceiving, the beatings, it's over

Paint the mirrors black, to forget you, I still picture your face
(Still picture your face), and the way you used to taste
(Way you used to taste), roses in a glass, dead and wilted
To you this all was nothing, everything to you is nothing

Well you're so, filthy
I'm better off without you, and you're better off without me
Well I'm so, ugly
You're better off without me, I'm better off alone

The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart, the hatred, the beatings
disaster, it's over

As wicked as you are, you're beautiful to me
You're the darkest burning star, you're my perfect disease

The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart, the hatred, the beatings, it's over
Disaster, the lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart, the hatred, the beatings, it's over
Disaster

It's over now.

3. (THE DEVIL'S OWN

The Devil's own
Why?
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember?

Yeah, right
Slap on the wrist, smack in the face
The family tree, gave me a name, and nothing more
Neglected seed, why?

It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside, I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm Godforsaken, I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside

Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong? What was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember, me?

Right
A happy home, a fairy tale, a broken dream
Gave me a life, then turned away, killed everything, why?

It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside, I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm Godforsaken, I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside, I die

Fuck, you
Father, bastard, I'm the Devil's very own
Mother, know not, just who, I've become
Father, hate me, for being all your not
Mother's baby, I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become, I hate what I've become

Oh
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside

Where did I go wrong? Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done, you've always criticized me
What did I go wrong? What was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done, will you remember, me?
