{Loud bit x 2}
Verse: {Quiet bit x 8}
w/Lyrics: You've wrapped yourself in yourself again
Now you've got your own way
You leave a trail of despair
And trust in tatters ruined
But it started out wrong
Convenience and sexual gratification
Bad decisions in wrong moments
But you, you wanted me just once more

Verse: {Quiet bit x 8}
w/Lyrics: And true colours come out in a crisis
To know the freinds you'll have tomorrow
To know the freinds you had yesterday
A Little Death goes a long way
A self righteous style for a self righteous mind
Remember a longing detachment
You'll punish yourself for your own selfish crime
Your loss will be greater than your reward
Chorus: {Loud bit x 4}
w/Lyrics: A Little Death
A Little Death
A Little Death death death
A Little Death
Enjoy! :)
