We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
Life is short, I’m running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom
until the fear is gone…
…the fear is gone
…the fear is gone
’til the fearless come… and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
’til the fearless come… and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
Everyday through frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
Until legends live and man is god again
And self-preservation rules the day no more

been tryna call
I’ve been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do much
You can turn me on with just a touch
Sin City's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I'm blinded by the lights, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I'm drowning in the night, when I'm like this, you're the only one that I trust
running out of time
I see the sun… light up the sky
gotta hit the road in overdrive
the city's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I'm walking by to let you know, I can never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time, blinded by the lights, I can't sleep until I feel you

Perfect little dream…. the kind that hurts the most
Forgot how it feels… well almost
No one to blame… always the same
Open my eyes… wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up in flames
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me see the light
Smashed up my sanity
Smashed up my integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what's left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do
Covered in hope and vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust I will betray
Give it to me I throw it away
After everything I've done I hate myself for what I've become
I tried, I gave up…
(Throw it away)
(Take me with you)
Without you, Without you everything just falls apart
Without you It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
… It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

she took the wind from the sails
I yearned for love’s true embrace
this lie it lives… will only last for so long
left alone… this bewilderment
wave after wave…
my dreams with you came crashing down
washed away…
let the pain subside, need to find peace of mind
(love) subsides…
(this current) divides…
and just like that, love dies…
haunted by memories
…they endlessly replay
haunted
…this truth you kept locked away
raindrops fall, chillingly
drenching, as the cold bites down
inviting Death into me
she embraces with her warmth when I’m in need.
(love) subsides…
(this current) divides…
and just like that, love dies…
love… is all we want…
synopsis
through the process of a closure in death, ‘Vol. 2’ is not only placing the final nail in the coffin of martyr art, it also marks the true resurrection of joey diabolic.
press
“Who in their right mind dares to approach the work of the tortured genius of Trent Reznor? ...a guy from Newburgh, NY and he assembles such a brutal and exaggerated mash-up version of “Gave Up” and “The Perfect Drug” that it turns your head..” NECROMANCE (SPAIN)
“JoeyDiabolic uses the same speed and chaos that NIN is known for, but is less minimalistic, resulting in a much fuller sound.” Bart Meijer • ARROW LORDS OF METAL (NETHERLANDS)
“JoeyDiabolic is most successful in the concrete-melting eight-string siege.” Kris Hadermann • ZWARE METALEN (NETHERLANDS)
“JoeyDiabolic's end result of "Love Like Blood" has the necessary metal hook to leave you with a good taste in your mouth.” Cesar Luis Morales • NECROMANCE (SPAIN)
