dig up her bones 
but leave the soul alone 
boy with a broken soul 
heart with a gaping hole 
dark twisted fantasy 
turned to reality 
kissing death 
and losing my breath 

midnight hours 
cobble street passages 
forgotten savages 
forgotten savages 

dig up her bones 
but leave the soul alone 
let her find a way 
to a better place 
broken dreams and silent screams 
empty churches with soulless curses 
we found a way 
to escape the day 

dig up her bones 
but leave the soul alone 
lost in the pages 
of self made cages 
life slips away 
and the [bad word] to play 
these are hard times 
these are hard times 
for dreamers 
and love lost believers 

dig up her soul 
but leave the soul alone 
let her find a way 
to a better place 
broken dreams 
and silent screams 
empty churches 
with soulless curses 
we found a way to escape the day 

candybar creep show 
my highs hit a new low 
marinate in misery 
like a girl of only 17 
man made madness 
and the romance of sadness 
a beautiful dance 
that happened by chance 
happened by chance 
happened by chance 

dig up her bones 
but leave the soul alone 
let her 
let her 
let her 
let her find her way back home 
broken dreams 
and silent screams 
empty churches with soulless curses 
we found 
we found 
we found a way 
to escape the day 
to escape the day 
to escape the day 
to escape the day
