Song Lyrics

I've made up my mind and I will be leaving
Leaving this cruel, dark world
For the soulless to share
But first

Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed
Children will cry and watch their mothers die
Because tonight, tonight we all go to hell
Why?

I have to let go of what happened to my love
I am taking out on everyone else
All the problems I've brought on myself
When I made your heart melt
My belle, we soon will meet again

There's nothing left for me to lose
Except confusion
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
There's no one left to talk me down
My feet are slipping

One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one
I am chasing after

For better or even for worse
Remember me forever

Now the only question left is how
To take you all down with me
The coroner will have his hands full tonight
That is if he is not among the dead

Dead will choke the streets
With such vulgarity that grown men will weep
And then you will find
The end is drawing night

There's nothing left for me to lose
Except confusion
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away
There's no one left to talk me down
My feet are slipping

One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one
I am chasing after

For better or even for worse
Remember me

The dizziness stuns me
Would someone please distract me?
Can I really get through this?
Can I really betray myself?
For better, for worse, remember forever

There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat
And as the blade bites my skin Annabel appears
For better, for worse, remember forever

One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories
Of the day that I left her
Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one
I am chasing after

For better or even for worse
Remember me forever
