I'd rather be dead than to live like this
Than to just exist a hand and no fist
See the walking dead around me
Waking up and breaking down before my eyes
Rather be dead, rather shoot and miss
Rather die for a kiss than to live like this

Hear the walking dead surround me
Giving in and giving up because

[Chorus:]
We're all doing fine
And we're falling fast behind
I don't think we'll be the same again
We're losing our minds
We're all doing fine
Is there anyplace to hide?
I don't think we'll be the same again
We're losing
We're losing our minds

We walk tonight

I'd rather be dead than to have no hope inside
Watch my will bleed away and my soul divide
Feel the walking dead around me
Getting closer moving farther from the light

I'd rather be dead, stay alive to find
Somewhere I belong, someone to call mine
See the walking dead surround me
See the life and see the death and now

[Chorus]

Reach out
I never get it
It's just out of reach and
I watch it slipping away
Reach out
Just forget it
It's never good enough
It's never going to be the same

[Chorus x2]

And so I'm bruised and beaten
Wake up from the floor
that I've been sleeping
Next to the radio that you broke
Yeah, the hits just keep on coming

Summer skies alibi December lies
Nothing like a party to get you drunk and make you start a fight
I see the DJ look away
when you say you went home
The turntables turn the tables
You confess you weren't alone, alone, alone, alone...
And it just hit me

That all my mistakes
Could never add up to the only one that you just made
And all my headaches
Will never compare to the biggest one that you just gave

So I'm broken, bleeding
From this mouth you said
was no use keeping
And it's not so good so far
Your lipstick stains my neck
and gives me a new scar

Summer skies alibi December lies
Nothing like a party to get you drunk and make you start a fight
I see the DJ look away
when you say you went home
The turntables turn the tables
You confess you weren't alone, alone, alone, alone...
And it just hit me

That all my mistakes
Could never add up to the only one that you just made
And all my headaches
Will never compare to the biggest one that you just gave to me

All my bruises tell me all your words mean nothing
And these bruises are all I have to show
And all along I had nowhere else to go
Like your dagger stuck inside I'm stuck
Stuck inside some makeshift reality
where you meant the world to me
But finally getting free
I'm breaking free
I'm breaking free
and it just hit me

That all my mistakes
Could never add up to the only one that you just made
And all my headaches
Will never compare to the biggest one that you just gave

That all my mistakes
Could never add up to the only one that you just made
And all my headaches
Will never compare to the biggest one that you just gave to me
to me, you just gave to me

Here she comes, T-minus 3
Watch your back
Walk around the debris
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on

She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl

Is it something that she might've just missed
Is it something that she can hit with her fists?
Light the fuse
and if you're ready come on
She's my riot girl

She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit

There she goes smoking TNT
Down the hatch
Call the LAPD
Either way, she wants to riot come on
She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
Give her something and she'll try to resist
Give her something she'll just swing with her fists
Either way, she wants to riot come on

She's my riot girl
She's my riot girl
She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on
She's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit

She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She's standing on the front line
Says she wants to light the fuse
Says that this is my life
It should be my right to choose
She only wants to burn it down
She wants to see them go , she don't need them
Send it right back into the ground
She says it a violent world, a violent world
leave you with all the bodies around
She's my riot girl
she's such a riot

She's no steppingstone
She'll cut you to the bone
You're better off alone
When she's on, she's on!

Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She's been bruised and bled
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
She says love is dead
Whoa-oh Whoa-oh
She's no minor threat
She's no minor threat
But she's seeing red
She's hanging on by a thread
Take your crimes in stride and commit

Lick my wounds and I feel pain
Watch my future go down the drain
Made my ruin now I'm aimed at you
Bane of the butcher we are through

Love kills, love kills
Like the cyanide living in a jagged little pill
Love kills, love kills
It's not for the faking it's just for the thrill
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

Vanished truth I believed in you
Gave myself you bled me through
Crimes of youth grow better with age
In a living hell you're my war to wage

Love kills, love kills
Like a vendetta left breathing so my guts will spill
Love kills, love kills
It's not for the taking, it's just for the thrill
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

In a wasteland
So far away
I miss your bleeding heart
It's my last stand
I'd die to say
I miss your bleeding heart
In a wasteland
So far away
I miss your bleeding heart
It's my last stand
I'd die to say
I miss your bleeding heart

Devoid of any feeling
Devoid of disagreeing
Devoid of what I'm seeing
Devoid you left me reeling
I break!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!
Stop! I hate it!
Don't stop!

Now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

Now I will not be the same
And so I won't be one to blame
And if I go crash into flames
I guarantee I'm taking you with me
