Marching down a road that was never there
Staring at the loss looking for a cause
Who lives inside my skin now I'm going to change my mind
Until it's just as you like
Out of my way?
So just stand by the exit
And wait for my acid black rain
Smile and take?
Smile to break it all around my head?
That's the state of mind I have
Although I know there's nothing for me to lose?
My love can't just wash away the pain which is here to stay
I gave all my heart deep in hell?
Maybe I just don't care if anyone has been there
Out of my way?
So just stand by the exit
And wait for my acid black rain
Smile and take?
Smile to break it all around my head?
That's the state of mind I have
That's the state of mind I have
That's the state of mind I have
Marching down a road that was never there
Staring at the loss looking for a cause
Who lives inside my skin now I'm going to change my mind
Until it's just as you like
Out of my way?
So just stand by the exit
And wait for my acid black rain
Smile and take?
Smile to break it all around my head?
That's the state of mind I have
Out of my way?
So just stand by the exit
And wait for my acid black rain
Smile and take?
Smile to break it all around my head?
