Lyrics
I guess we all could have used a little less irony,
and a little more Polyanna.
I'm praying for the proof that there's something worthy,
to come from the black hole of your sadness.
So is it better on the other side, the other side of the door?
And on the final ride, the final ride, you found what you're looking for?
How you must ache,
The way you went and left us all behind.
I'll dig your grave,
if it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
If it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
Yes, we forgave you in your eulogy,
What did you think that we would say?
Did you hope that all our anguish,
would make up for all your pain?
Did you see this in your letter,
did you know how it would go?
The way Mom pleaded with God,
and the way Dad hardly speaks anymore.
So is it better on the other side, the other side of the door?
And on the final ride, the final ride, you found what you're looking for?
How you must ache,
The way you went and left us all behind.
I'll dig your grave,
if it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
Nothing will ever be the same,
and this was a living Hell.
I tried but I could never hate you,
as much as you hated yourself.
Nothing could ever be the same,
and this was a living Hell.
I tried but I could never hate you,
as much as you hated yourself.
Tell me it's better on the other side, the other side of the door?
And on the final ride, your final ride, you found what you're looking for.
How you must ache,
The way you went and left us all behind.
I'll dig your grave,
if it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
How you must ache,
The way you went and left us all behind.
I'll dig your grave,
if it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
If it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
If it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
If it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
If it quiets down the screaming in your mind.
