"Can't Be Saved" by Senses Fail
The Lyrics:
We can all hang ourselves
From gold chandeliers
And drink good bye to all
All the pain and fears
Loose lips have sunk this ship
To a shallow grave
Washed up upon the rocks
From gold chandeliers
And drink good bye to all
All the pain and fears
Loose lips have sunk this ship
To a shallow grave
Washed up upon the rocks
Why:
Suicide and sinking ships. Scary? Maybe.
