Prevent This Tragedy Lyrics - Crimson - Alkaline Trio

Here we are again with handguns for hearts 

They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart 

Nothing to hold, all hope deleted 

Our demise has been completed now 

Nowhere left to go but down 

The flames of hell they give me hope, I drown 

In oceans of this tragic part of town 

Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound 

Of children wishing they were safely underground

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

We are the walking dead, we hold this ghost in our arms 

We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky stars 

Tried to get by on bread and water 

Craving blood poured from the altar now 

Not much left to do but drown 

In flames of miscommunication, down 

And out and off in search of someone proud 

To translate what we truly dream about 

As we lay in this bed thinking out loud 

I'm screaming Uncle, mercy me 

And my broken telepathy 

For I'm left with nothing but this bloodless river bank 

West Memphis please, I'm begging you to stop praying for me

Down, the flames of hell they give me hope, I drown 

In oceans of this tragic part of town 

Where nothing's heard for miles but the sound
