Lyrics:
-----------------------------
Don't even take a breath. 
The air is cut with cyanide. 
In honor of the New Year. 

The press gives us cause to celebrate: 
These air raid sirens 
Flooded barbed wire skylines, 
By artificial night, 
As we sleep to burn the red 
From our bloodless lives. 
Tonight we're all time bombs 
on fault lines. 

Have we lost everything now? 
We're walking like each other's ghosts 
Around these silent streets 
(the sedatives tell you everything is alright) 
Like calendars dying at New Year's Eve parties, 
As we kiss hard on the lips 
And swear this year will be better than the last. 

Jet Black - the ink that spells your name. 
Jet Black - the blood that's in your veins. 
We say, "How long can we take this chance not to celebrate?" 

There's music playing 
But we dance to the beat 
Of our own black hearts 
And draw diagrams 
Of suicide on each other's wrists, 
Then trace them with razorblades. 

Fire to Flames, 
"Strike Match." 

Burn these words from our lips 
As 'The Dagger' screams, 
"Love is dead," 
and it's a "newspaper tragedy." 

Have we lost what we love? 
Have we said everything? 
Does it change anything? 
Stare at the clock, 
Avoid at al costs, 
This emptiness. 

Ten seconds left. 
until midnight. 
nine chances to drown ourselves 
in black hair dye 
eight faces turned away 
from the shock: 
seven windows and six of them 
were locked. 
five stories falling 
forever and ever. 
three cheers to the mirror. 
now there are two of us. 
Can we have one last dance? 
How long can we take this chance not to celebrate life?
