| Everything is dark
|
| Everybody’s here
|
| All I gotta do is get the words right
|
| When the microphone is near
|
| Shoot off all my thoughts
|
| Maybe make it rhyme
|
| Try to be as honest with myself to them
|
| Without committing the crime
|
| I know that I can’t put it the way
|
| That a better-read person could do
|
| So I sacrifice my talent for the truth
|
| So let it burn, let it fall
|
| Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
|
| And let it circulate right through a vein
|
| That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
|
| Everybody screams
|
| Then everybody stops
|
| I just wanna have a little moment when the silence gets me off
|
| Let me say my peace
|
| Get out of your hair
|
| All I wanted was to be the backrest
|
| On your broken, hopeless chair
|
| And I know that the living are lifeless
|
| And if the doctors could euthanize half of the things
|
| That make me become the person that I hate
|
| So let it burn, let it fall
|
| Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
|
| And let it circulate right through a vein
|
| That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
|
| Everything is dark
|
| Everybody’s here
|
| All I gotta do is get the words right
|
| When the microphone is near |
