(We're rolling suicide)

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup (hide the scars to fade away the)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the (hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go, create another fable

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die

Father (Father), Father (Father), Father (Father), Father (Father)
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes, forsaken me
In your thoughts, forsaken me
In your heart, forsaken me, oh

Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
Why cry when angels deserve to die?

25 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Great song and lyrics....but I'm not so sure on the parts where the lead singer does the 'wake up' etc bits...kinda ruin the impact of the song in my opinion....

35 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal OK FOR EVERYBODY TO KNOW!!! im sure the other guy was completely right about the meaning of chop suey and that forsaken me part. i also know that all of them are armenian except for Serj who's born in Lebanon. The meaning of chop suey is ironicly: A thai food steak. i know because ive eaten it haha like watched the menu and suddenly.. WTF????? HAHHAHAHAHA But it's completely true i promise you.

15 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is just amazing (the music is genius!!).. But I can't figure out what it's all about (the text).. The last part of the song, they're singing the part Jesus said, when he hung on the cross: "Father in your hands I commid my spirit, father in your hands..." Does anybody have a clue what that's about!? What do they mean by that? If anybody has an opinion about that please e-mail me OOH, - Signe
