The Scariest Story Ever Told Album Booklet

"Touching Ecstasy"

[Verse 1]

Take a breath, hold it shut.

Blow the smoke, dream your dream.

Light the fuse, it explodes.

Now your eyes have grown so cold.

[Pre-Chorus]

I didn't ask to be the person that I am.

I didn't ask to be born.

I didn't ask to exist in the place that I do.

I didn't ask for my heart to be torn.

[Chorus]

I'm dreaming of screaming.

I see your body against the wall.

Tears fill my face, are you dead or alive?

Is this a dream or was I holding a knife?

[Verse 2]

Darkest place in my mind.

Remove my heart and watch me die.

Darkest thoughts I can't escape.

Pull me down, remove my brain.

But I already did.

[Pre-Chorus]

I didn't ask to be the person that I am.

I didn't ask to be born.

I didn't ask to exist in the place that I do.

I didn't ask for my heart to be torn.

[Chorus]

I'm dreaming of screaming.

I see your body against the wall.

Tears fill my face, are you dead or alive?

Is this a dream or was I holding a knife?

[Bridge]

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

Nobody sings like you anymore.

Nobody screams like me.

"Based upon the title, you can probably guess that this song is about doing drugs, but more specifically, it is about the types of thoughts that go through your head when you are high."

LYRICS BREAKDOWN: 

"Take a breath, hold it shut.

Blow the smoke, dream your dream.

Light the fuse, it explodes.

Now your eyes have grown so cold." (This entire verse is about doing drugs for the first time and seeing how it effects you and those around you.)

"I didn't ask to be the person that I am.

I didn't ask to be born.

I didn't ask to exist in the place that I do.

I didn't ask for my heart to be torn." (The pre-chorus is based on the depressing thoughts that begin once you come down from your high.)

"I'm dreaming of screaming.

I see your body against the wall.

Tears fill my face, are you dead or alive?

Is this a dream or was I holding a knife?" (The chorus is based off of an experience I had when I did drugs, where I believed that my at the time partner was lying dead in front of me.)
