Lyrics
DYING BY NUMBERS
One was a melody, playing, a tune in me.
One was a sad sound that nobody else could see.
I should have kept it inside.
Yeah maybe I could have tried a bit harder then.
Two came along, saddest song, I had heard.
Why was it wrong? When I sang my words?
I should have kept it inside.
Yeah maybe I could have tried a bit harder but.
Three was a killer, three made me cry.
Freedom came with her but three was a lie I know.
I should have kept it inside.
Yeah maybe I could have lied a bit harder now.
(Chorus)
Foresake everything, for a song.
Forgave everyone, for too long.
I fought for the right when I fought for the truth.
I thought that tonight I was dying.
Where were you?
Where were you?
Five came with anger and five came with fury and
Five was your judgement and five was your jury but.
I should have kept it inside.
Yeah maybe I could cried a bit harder but.
Six was the demon, alive in my head.
Six stood there screaming, the words that you said.
Sickening pain like a cancer it spread.
Six stole my spirit, and left me for dead but I.
I should have kept it inside.
Yeah maybe I could have died a bit harder now.
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
Foresake everything, for a song.
Forgave everyone, for too long.
I fought for the right when I fought for the truth.
I thought that tonight I was dying.
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
(Instrumental)
