chapter 1 takes place on empty canvases
and idle hands are silencing the oxygen
and the salt burns me alive
but these tears have all run dry
the devil's just like cocaine
gradually constant and permanently pain
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
the things that lawyers never tell
arms tied behind your back
and you wish that we'd lend a hand
but that wasn't in the contract
signature signed in blood
but it's artwork that we love
the devil's just like cocaine
gradually constant and permanently pain
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
wrap your hands around this pen
i'll show you what it is to live
wrap your hands around this pen
i'll show you what it is to live
wrap your hands around this pen
i'll show you what it is to live
wrap your hands around this pen
i'll show you what it is to live
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
it was just an awful dream
a nightmare. a night scare
