We Black Hearts Bear the Cross (Hera)

Your father hated me, while your mother disapproved They set all the rules That you never listened to Yeah, you never listened to I was your escape Your getaway So send me off to Hell I prefer the warm weather Let my passion speak for itself No, I wouldn't have it any other way Jesus Christ, we were such great sinners And I won't look back on the empty, Empty California, empty California winters We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live Cuz I feel so alive Yes, I feel so alive where others would feel so dead So you can help me up You can crucify me Good or bad at least I pushed the limits At least you can say I lived it At least you can say I lived it I was never the one To hold my breath Never the one to bite my tongue And after all the critics, I'll be the bad guy I'll take the burden for the person you've become Jesus Christ, we were such great sinners And I won't look back on the empty, Empty California, empty California winters We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live Cuz I feel so alive Yes, I feel so alive where others would feel so dead We sure know how to live We sure know how to sin Probably why I drink like a fish, Trying to drown all my problems but they learn to swim Still I rise above it All this hate but somehow I love it Shit, you can probably tell by the sound of it Looking back now, man, I'm pretty proud of it There's a hole in my chest where my heart once was Now it's vacant I need a replacement I'm surrounded by girls who are just as heartless But, I'm numb to 'em all, see I've grown complacent Really I just need a vacation Working all these hours I'm sick of the grave shifts Overnight drives on tour through the matrix It's hard to stay real I'm surrounded by fake shit And Jesus Christ, we were such great sinners And I won't look back on the empty, Empty California, empty California winters We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live We sure know how to live Cuz I feel so alive Yes, I feel so alive, where others would feel so dead So dead So dead (I'll take the burden) So dead (I'll wear the cross) So dead So I'll take the burden, I'll wear the cross
