Lyrics

[00:34.38] Wait to rise long after dark
[00:40.22] Been asleep at least three solid days
[00:46.05] Wandering round this house just like a ghost
[00:52.52] Searching for something in this life
[00:58.11] That would fill the holes and satisfy
[01:04.62] Your need to please everybody else
[01:11.01] While your nerves shatter and fall apart
[01:17.13] Wear out the grip tape wrapped round your heart your heart
[01:41.55] Now you're dressed and ready for the kill
[01:47.63] Check if your friends are asleep in bed
[01:53.45] Same ones who left you to yourself
[01:59.62] Make some noise and take a walk outside
[02:06.02] All those years you kept the pain inside
[02:12.11] Strangled any chance to love your own
[02:17.96] And veer from your collision course
[02:23.87] But you'd rather go out in a ball of flame
[02:29.76] Ball of flame
[02:33.16] Went take the name
