Preface (Take It All Away) - The Beautiful Ones

Its all changed since the birth of desire

I’ve touched the sky and I’ve felt the fire

I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve been burned alive

Now it’s a different world I see through these eyes

Love and pain

Are one in the same

Take it all away

No one cares when you hit the ground

They keep you down just to keep you around

They close their eyes and look the other way

They pretend they’re not the reason for your pain

Kiss of betrayal

Take it all away

I just want to feel again

This is a story of a man

Who fell in love and lost everything

So what’s the point of giving yourself

If it’s all for nothing
