Emilie Autumn
Let the Record Show
[Intro: Emilie Autumn, Inkydust]
How's that?
Good
[Verse 1]
Turning tricks with absent guile
Reeling in your crooked smile
Why did I turn to you?
I only wanted a hand to pour my heart into
And now I'll bump my grind through another night
Lose my mind in another fight
Why did I turn to you?
I only gave you a chance to prove the rumors true
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm paying with my
Paying with my life
I'm paying with my life
My life
My life
[Chorus]
So let the record show that you murdered me
In your coldest blood with your own two hands
Don't think no one understands
It happens every day
[Verse 2]
Working life like a burlesque show
Get them off and they'll let you go
Why did I turn to you?
I only turned out to be just one more girl you slew
And now I'll bump my grind through another
Lose my mind in another
Why, why, why, why?
I only gave you a chance to prove the rumors true
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm paying with my
Paying with my life
I'm paying with my life
My life
My life
[Chorus]
So let the record show that you murdered me
In your coldest blood with your own two hands
Don't think no one understands
It happens every day
[Post-Chorus]
You're jealous, oh
You're jealous, why?
It's a simple excuse for a complex crime
So write this on your soul, but don't waste my time
[Bridge]
If I'm going down, then I'm going down good
If I'm going down, then I'm going down clean
If I'm going down, then I'm going down
The prettiest broken girl you've ever seen
If I'm going down, then I'm going down good
If I'm going down, then I'm going down clean
If I'm going down, then I'm going
The prettiest wretched whore you've ever seen
But while I breathe
I've got no evidence to prove my end
And so you'll walk away?
Nope, wrong again!
[Chorus]
So let the record show that you murdered me
In your coldest blood with your own two hands
Don't think no one understands
It happens every day
[Post-Chorus]
You're jealous, oh
You're jealous, why?
It's a simple excuse for a complex crime
So write this on your soul
[Chorus]
And let it show that you murdered me
In your coldest blood with your own two hands
Don't think no one understands
It happens every day
[Post-Chorus]
You're jealous, oh
You're jealous, why?
It's a simple excuse for a complex crime
So write this on your soul, but don't waste my time
