This beautiful tragedy This dying destiny Is crashing into me And this judgment day is drawing near And this confession is killing me again Take me away Come crashing into me Silent night Let me sleep away these memories within

Just open up your heart Or open up your eyes Right till the day you die So anytime you wanna laugh Anytime you wanna cry And baby laugh or cry This ain't no tragedy, this ain't no addiction This ain't no comedy, this ain't no fiction But baby you make me

These are the days our lives will change and we will see our worlds collide Life is a journey throughout the years that pass a lesson to be learned There is a purpose to all that we encounter in this existence What builds us up may one day break us down

From the outside, stand and judge like enemies Opened eyes, see reality Trying all the while, to knock me down, this tragedy And the days turn to memories How could, how could this be, that I feel nothing As the days pass and replaced by memories What do

My head was like a flame It was burning up, burning up It was burning up Well we all get strange And we know it But we're cool with it And we all get a little bit older In this day and age But we deal with it

No more, no more No more, no more Found my horse and carriage Baby I'm a dreamer Blood stains the ivories on my daddy's baby grand Ain't seen the daylight since we started this band Store-bought clothes fallin' 'part at the seams Tea leaf-readin' gypsies

At this age How are them man still hatin'? My young boy in a different country But he ain't ever been on vacation One hand on a girl I'm datin' One hand on the cash I'm makin' We come through like Funky Friday And have all of your mandem skatin'

We're sendin' out a major love And this is our message to you (message to you) The planets are linin' up We're bringin' brighter days They're all in line waitin' for you You're just another part of me Can't you see? Another part of me We're takin' over

Yesterday is dead and gone Shaking the cage Heed our war cry Let there be no doubt This is reckoning day Rattling the chains We want out We are standing in the flames Reaching for the sky

We are too far gone Of all these yesterdays I feel the rage And it burns the pages We were, never meant to make it this far Life feels like it's all in vain Practicing for death alone I'm covered fast In the falling ashes
