  • For the love of god, will you bite your tongue
    Before we make you swallow it
    It's moments like this where silence is golden
    (And then you speak)

    No one wants to hear you
    No one wants to see you
    So desperate and pathetic
    I'm begging you to spare me
    The pleasure of your company

    (When did the diamonds leave your bones?)

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    (Go to hell for heaven's sake)

    No one wants to hear you (save your breath)
    No one wants to see you
    So desperate and pathetic
    You think that no one sees this
    I think it's time you knew the truth

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    When did the diamonds leave your bones
    Leave your bones

    You're not a shepherd, you're just a sheep
    I'll cut my depths of everyone you meet
    Your own flesh with no bones
    Feed them to the sharks
    And throw them to the walls

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    I'm burning down every bridge we make
    I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
    I'm leaving out every word you said
    Go to hell for heaven's sake

    Go to to hell for heaven's sake
    Go to to hell for heaven's sake
    Go to to hell for heaven's sake Writer/s: Jordan Fish, Lee Malia, Oliver Sykes

  • Revrund from ScotlandOli Sykes dunno what sort of Christian you were talking to but they got it wrong.
    "I was asked to hand over my faith to God, and let someone try and help me. For me, I just thought 'are you serious?', because they thought my only reason to get better was because of God, that imaginary guy in the sky. That really struck a chord with me, and I thought of all the people around me trying to get better because of this reason, because of God. I didn't get it then and I still don't get it now. Everyone in the world, no matter who you are, knows what's right and what's wrong..."

    God is the One who has been around long enough to have a proper perspective on all of it.
    He is either imaginary, or solid and very real.

    He leaves us all to our own personal interests and decisions.
    But absolute reality has concrete consequences.
    It's not punishment, for a person who walks off a cliff to plummet to the ground below.
    That's just common sense. The lemming who falls has no right to lift a hand to the sky and scream 'I hate you because of gravity!'

    How messed-up we are is our own faults (with culpability of others who have 'done to us' in ways that contributed to how messed-up we have become)
    God is all about relationship with real people that care about each other.
    He cares and doesn't impose and lets each to their own way.
    If you say He should stop evil, then be prepared to be forced to live in the concrete of His perfect perspective.
    If you say leave us alone, then be prepared to live in a brutal world, where strength dictates culture.

    If God is not there as you say, it doesn't matter.
    If He is there, what's the harm in relating to someone who is good and fair and loving?

    The only reason to get better, is 'being better'.

    If the only way to find it is to 'check with the programmer about how the construct works', then why 'ignore the code'?
    Hell is not punishment, it is just characterization of a 'tragically fragmented disc drive'.
    Every decision, freely made, leading to a scrambled useless end, unless someone can fix it.
    (insert some theology here)
