LOOK ME IN THE EYES! YOU DON'T GET TO KILL ME TWICE! YOUR LOVE WAS A COFFIN! YOUR KISS WAS A LIE! I WAS BORN IN THE DARKNESS NOW WATCH ME RISE! BURIED! BETRAYED! BUT NEVER YOURS! I'M NOT YOUR ANGEL! I'M NOT YOUR CORPSE! YOU BUILT THE GRAVE! I BROKE THE STONE! NOW CHOKE ON THE MONSTER YOU MADE YOUR OWN! [Final Chorus — Massive, Emotional, Layered Vocals] I was buried in your velvet grave But I rose from every scar you gave You can put the roses on my bones But you'll never own my soul Now the whole damn world is underneath Every broken part of me can breathe You thought love would be the death of me Now I'm everything I came to be I'm alive I'm alive You can hear me through the night I'm alive I'm alive And this grave is mine tonight [Outro — Whispered Vocals, Fading Piano] Lay me down in velvet Let the black roses grow I was never your angel You just never let me go.
