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
