Structure:

Intro: [Quiet bit x 2]

[Loud bit x 2]

Verse: [Quiet bit x 8]

w/Lyrics: You've wrapped yourself in yourself again

Now you've got your own way

You leave a trail of despair

And trust in tatters ruined

But it started out wrong

Convenience and sexual gratification

Bad decisions in wrong moments

But you, you wanted me just once more

Chorus: [Loud bit x 4]

Verse: [Quiet bit x 8]

w/Lyrics: And true colours come out in a crisis

To know the freinds you'll have tomorrow

To know the freinds you had yesterday

A Little Death goes a long way

A self righteous style for a self righteous mind

Remember a longing detachment

You'll punish yourself for your own selfish crime

Your loss will be greater than your reward

Chorus: [Loud bit x 4]

w/Lyrics: A Little Death

A Little Death

A Little Death death death

A Little Death

Enjoy! :)
