- If the world did end. Would you be my apocalyptic friend?
- Until Tomorrow Then
- I guess it's you I miss.
'Cause I just stare at the ceiling.
My stomach knots and twists.
You've created this feeling.
And I may be out of style.
But do you know what true love is? I'll make this all so worthwhile.
So let's rise above this. Let's rise above this.- Until Tomorrow Then
- Oh, I'm staying in today. And watch the others play. Oh, wash my sins away. Like all good children I mean what I say.
- Visit From The Dead Dog
- I guess God has the last laugh. From up on high he lets us kill. And his people die for their faith. And we call it triumph of the will.
- Visit From The Dead Dog
