The Number Twelve Looks Like You – If These Bullets Could Talk Lyrics 13 years ago
whoa, instead of the part where i thought he said "HURT, by my best friend" it's

i'll never be hurt again
(i'll never be hurt again)

by my best friend"

after "as a glass enters the vein" he says "watching you dream" before the justice chines part.
and he says, "this is a seraph's dream" not seraplis

The Number Twelve Looks Like You – If These Bullets Could Talk Lyrics 13 years ago
ok so after years of listening to this song i find myself listening to it again a lot, i'm in the process of doing a vocal cover of it so i had to really study the lyrics and i've seriously replayed it over and over, there are some parts that are really difficult to understand, but this is what i've come up with.

[START LYRICS]
what you've accomplished... towards me was sickening (against me was)
so i'll be sure to re... return the favor (...turn the fa-avor)
you hurt me so horribly, i turned my back (you killed me)
i don't ask for much, but i'll ask you this
why would you destroy your own best friend? (friend)

i'm... i'm so tired... of looking... (tired of gazing into mirrors)
of looking into mirrors just to see the reflection cry (watching the reflection... cry)
cry
just plain and simple (now i am to cry)
we wrote it as a memory
i needed you to die (i need you to die)
so long, [[*and I meant will you*]]

as they plan on burying your lifeless body (i'm so...)
i'll be sure to shatter the tombstone set in place (tired...)
there's nothing more i'd rather see than you chasing bullets as you fall into a tub (of looking into mirrors...)
then your heart grows comatose and your appendages are torn off (just to see...)
[[*there's me with the*]] hurt more 'cause you're gone (the...)
you're gone... YOU'RE GONE (reflection)

here's a picture
i'll place this in your lover's hands
watch her dying in pain and disbelief

friend (you're)
you're gone (gone)
this time

you're a memory (you're... gone)
you're a memory (you're... gone)
you're a memory (you're... gone)
you're... gone

i feel i've done my part
now it's time for me to stop this beating heart
i'll never be hurt again

HURT
by my best friend
would you hurt just for you?
your best friend
your best friend

i feel that i've done my part
but now it's time for me to stop (but... but now it's time)
this beating heart
[END LYRICS]

parts highlighted with --> [[***]] <-- means i don't know if that's what they say.
but i do know that at the end of the spoken word he says "hurt more 'cause your gone"
he can't say harmonics or anything like that because there's not enough syllables in his words to even say something like that nor does he speech provoke that word. nor does he say "that you're gone" he says "''cause you're gone" you can obviously tell i'm right just by listening. "that" is not even spoken in that last verse of the spoken word.

i think the full part is: ----- "?there's me? ... it must've hurt more 'cause you're gone" -----

so those lyrics are like 98% right. except for the two parts in which i highlight with asterisks ** and brackets [[ ]].
i'm seriously going to get ahold of the vocalist and ask them. i remember going to their shows back in '06 and '08 and this song was the best. especially LIVE... gave me chills every time. so much emotion.

there hasn't been a comment on this song in a year... next to civeta dei, this is their second masterpiece.
