lyrics

Last night I had a dream
That I woke up and looked out the window
and it was dark and off in the distance
I saw some cars
they were burning
the flames lit the skies up above
as the streets filled with blood
and all of my friends were all sporting fangs
and at first I was scared
but then I just smiled
and put on my coat
Thought finally something to leave the house for

To all my friends or shall we just say acquaintances
you took my love and then you turned it to hatred
maybe I'll see you when you get home
maybe I'll see you when you get home

this town needs something catastrophic
to wake it up
so we're waking the dead
and we'll feed on the innocence
because the innocence just got so dull and boring

And C this city is driving me crazy
Hate the hate is rising up inside me
and Everyone
Sometimes
Tells
Everyone
'Round them
you can't keep a secret your just not allowed them

I'm do scared of growing up
but I'm more scared of dying alone
so if I wind up getting comfortable and settling down
then I hope that this isn't my home

So maybe I'll see you when you get home
