I can't find the cotton pickin lyrics thread, and I ain't about to look.

The sunrise fills your eyes.
Cannot hear your cries.
Pleading, please just go away.
I can't take another day of this.
No surprise.
A surplus of lies.
Freed from the skies.
Is there something that I missed?
Can't even take another day of this.
Lower than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
She can't recall the last time she avoided it. Lower than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
Judging by your eyes, like crystal balls.
Madam Me is predicting that your answer will be yes.
The sunrise.
Burned out your eyes.
Failed to apologize.
As it was eating at your face.
Took your smile away without a trace of it.
Warmer than piss.
Have you ever felt like this?
It just might take a fever to encounter it.
Knee deep in shit.
There's no avoiding it.
From your knees, you're coated brown, to your toes. There is no sound like this.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
And I will keep you warm in hell.
Way down in hell.




AND





Well I'll sit here and convince myself it's true.
If you keep on telling your friends that we're through.
I've got nothing here but loneliness
Holes in walls and bleeding fists.
My head is pounding like a pillow, like a big black song.

Well my friends and I try to tell me you're gone.
Won't listen to myself or anyone.
You got on a plane and off you went.
You're never coming back again.

I'm trying to convince myself it's true.
Convincing myself
I'll be just fine without you. [x3]
I'll be here telling myself it's true.

I sit here trying to convince myself it's true.
But you keep on pretending you have no clue.
I'd kill for you and eat the flesh.
Give you the heart and burn the rest.
A thousand miles ain't shit to walk if I'm walking to hold you but

I'll be just fine without you [x3]
I'll be here telling myself
I'll be just fine without you [x6]

I'll be here telling myself it's true.



AND





There's a fire forming, not too far from here
Along the east coast maybe, it resides in you, my dear
Worn out on our courtesy, we've made our curtain calls
Like vampire bats deprived of blood, into the New York City night we crawl

And you've got a funny way of showing off your bathroom surgery
You said you were just cooling down from plans of leaving me
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never met arms like yours

The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm loyalty, my king of pain

There's a hard rain falling, flooding your attic, it's clear
Can't put out the fire that resides in you, my dear
There's something I should tell you, for we may not have much time
I've never seen scars like yours

The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm loyalty, my king of pain

The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in your eyes, Miss Vincent
You told me once I made you smile
But we both know damn well I didn't
I'm not much of a jester, but I'd test poisoned food for you
Your majesty, you're royal blue
I'm loyalty, my king of pain
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside

Now do you think you could find the lyrics about your life, or whatever it is Veronikka??
