I don’t care – more of the same
If living was easy I’d be a saint
It takes so long for lessons to stick
There’s blood in the cup - go take a sip
I wait and I watch
In time it all dies
I wait and I see
I don’t mind – it’s all just a game
Dying’s tricky, oh what a shame
Slogging along – a tough habit to kick
There’s blood in the cup – but it’s making me sick
I wait and I watch
In time it all dies
I wait and I see
You know
I’ve become
Wary of life
Just for fun
Die alone
You know
Enough is enough
I wait and I see

They said it would be years to come
Without a spine, it’s hard to run
They said it could never happen
Yet I turned myself into a weapon
I tried to convince you too
But somehow you always knew
Flash in the sky, the sun crashed down
Hide in the dark, but don’t make a sound
Roam the rubble, just looking for you
Plead to the ruin - my love was true
They won’t stand in my way
Those who try will meet the same fate
Close my eyes, and picture your face
There is no horror left that can erase

You’ve got such a bark
Scares everyone right
But me, I’m not impressed with the part
I’ve spent my whole life
Just waiting for this gift
And now here you come with your lip
Well if you want me, just come and see
You’ll find more trouble than you could have believed
It’ll be easy when you disappear
Practice my alibi and keep sharp my spear
You got sold some lie
Where no one will bite back
And now you dive headfirst into a trap
That’s just how it goes
When your mouth writes all the checks
But me, I’m not known to forget
Well if you want me, just come and see
You’ll find more trouble than you could have believed
It’ll be easy when you disappear
Practice my alibi and keep sharp my spear

Alright
That’s enough
First the runes
And now my 'do'?
Doing the right thing’s never been so easy
I’m taking this haircut back even if I have to kick it off your head
Let’s go
Yeah all of you
You can get in line
All at once or one at a time
Untuck those khaki pants
Put your torches on the ground
Cause by later tonight
You’ll be donning a hospital gown
No way
You’re all named chad?
I bet you never dreamt
You could be abused this bad
Doing the right thing’s never been so pricey
My taxes funding all your ambulance rides, I’ll find a way to cope
Okay
Didn’t even sweat
made me look so cool
Haven’t even pulled a hammer yet
Untuck those khaki pants
Put your torches on the ground
Cause by later tonight
You’ll be donning a hospital gown

Sit there in the cracks
Just listen in
If you’re real patient
You’ll uncover all of the sin
Would you pretty please
Just watch over me
And if I should fuck up
I can trust you’ll make me bleed
You gave to me this fear
I know that I deserve
And now the world can rest easy
I’ll wait for my day to burn
Oh, divine voyeur
Absolve me of my guilt
And when I lay down
I’ll sleep forever in filth
Would you pretty please
Just watch over me
And if I should fuck up
I can trust you’ll make me bleed
You gave to me this fear
I know that I deserve
And now the world can rest easy
I’ll wait for my day to burn
