Lyrics for Not Long for This World

Cutting or scratching They scar the same The angle is off, the edges are soft The mark remains I know I'm bitter And full of rage You would be too, what I've been through Knowledge is a difficult age So decide Tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide Tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world! Carving or biting We bleed for keeps Out of control, into the cold Hell repeats God, I'm starving Spreading me thin Buying a story My soul was for sale Trust is such an arrogant thing So decide Tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide Tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world! Not long for this world! I know the shit you eat There's nothing mellow in the Drama you live and breathe You like your secrets to be Kept in the family You don't get credit for your Rare good behavior, go be a savior You don't seem to get what I'm saying And I'm sick and tired of explaining Goodnight, goodbye, good luck There's nothing worse than a Ghoul manifesto, I'm not impressed though The greatest conclusion That I ever had Was when I woke up And said, "That's enough!" Living never felt so bad You don't accept it And I don't care Bury yourself Above all your guilt When you're ready it'll be there So decide Tell me how I'm gonna die 'Cause I've already gone away Decide Tell me how you loved a lie It wasn't really hard to see Hard to see Not long for this world! Not long for this world! Not long for this world! I was not long for this world I was not long for this world I was not long for this world! I was not long for this world! I was not long for this world! I was not long for this world!
