To Death
The Rough and The Velvet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't scream my name
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
With all your shit talking
With all your built up lies
And all your stupid alibis
You woke up You woke up You woke up drowning
With all the souls you hurt
With all your betrayals
And all your denials
You woke up You woke up You woke up biting the dirt
Don't scream my name
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
Creeping up from behind
With malicious intentions
Threatening with vengeance
You'll end up You'll end up You'll end up confined
When all hope is gone
Who will you turn to
You burned all the bridges around you
You'll end up You'll end up You'll end up staring at the gun
Don't scream my name
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow




Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow

If that snake ornament was real gold it would have been so heavy and very hard to lift

@deeovery4352

The giant snake that was inside of the tree is a Reticulated Python. Not Anaconda.

@Gloria-ro4vn

Not, the brightest bulb in the pack is he. He even got the Continent wrong, Anacondas are only found in Central and South America. LOL

@dw03053

Those " worms" are gypsy moth caterpillars and come each year in new England

@jennyrealight1860

That tree held its pee since the day it first sprouted!

@endlessunivese9350

@matthewholtman2047

That snake is a boa constrictor

@Gloria-ro4vn

Close, Reticulated Python, bigger, meaner and more ill tempered. Wonder if someone should tell these guys you only find Anacondas in Southern and Central America,
