Lyrics:

Everything ends so quietly
()      ()   ()        (etc)
so cold and shadowless
We put on fake faces, no one sees our shame
This is real, real pain

Chorus:
I'm here to abuse - I'm here to confuse
                                
I'm here to amuse you so
             
look in my face - hide behind your wall
                                      

I'm here to abuse - I'm here to confuse
                                
I'm here to amuse you so
             
look in my face - hide behind your wall
                            
It's been a good day after all


I learn to hate myself everyday
- told to cry or cum
I'll lick your heals till my mouth bleeds
Maybe you'll kick me some

Chorus

Let them both in strangers hands
Not a clue of what's humane
Came running back out to tell me a secret
Closed my eyes and turned the other way

Chorus

It's been a good day after all

Outtro:
Everything ends so quietly
so cold and shadowless
I put on fake faces, no one sees my shame
This is real, real pain (repeat 6 times, fading away)
