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 angels looking for a home
You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?
Reach your head into me stir up bitter memories
Steal my dreams while I'm asleep, please!
We are fallen angels with no place to go
We are fallen angels looking for a home
You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?
My head turned with a doorknob
As you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
My head turned with a doorknob
As you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
