  • If I gave you pretty enough words
    Could you paint a picture of us that works?
    An emphasis on function
    Rather than design
    Aren't you tired? 'Cause I will carry you
    On a broken back and blown out knees
    I have been where you are for a while

    Aren't you tired of being weak?
    Such rage that you could scream
    All the stars right out of the sky
    And destroy the prettiest starry night
    Every evening that I die

    I am exhumed
    Just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold
    I am exhumed
    Just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold
    I am exhumed
    Just a little less human and a lot more bitter and cold
    I am exhumed
    Just a little less human

    After all these images of pain
    Have cut right through you
    I will kiss every scar
    And weep, you are not alone
    Then I'll show you that place
    In my chest where my heart
    Still tries to beat, it sets us apart

    Aren't you tired of being weak?
    Such rage that you could scream
    All the stars right out of the sky
    And destroy the prettiest starry night
    Every evening that I die

    Live! Love!
    Burn! Die!
    Live! Love!
    Burn! Die!
    Live! Love!
    Burn! Die!
    Live! Love!
    Burn! Die! Writer/s: Brandon Saller, Christopher Gordon Thomson, Daniel Louis Jacobs, Ektor Alexander Varkatzas, Travis William Miguel

  • Alayna from Somewhere, Nj"Lip Gloss" and "Lip Gloss and Black" are two completely different songs. The former of the two is CRAP. And the latter is THE BEST. Quite a distinction.
  • Agustin from ,I think the Live, Love, Burn, Die part means he's gonna love her all his life untill they burn together and die.
