[Intro: Caleb Shomo]

I, uh... I don't really know what to say Hello, how you doing Haha, I uh... I feel like I'm in a fever dream, I don't know what the fuck is going on right now, haha... Me and my uh, my father, who was here tonight were not too long ago talking about how, uh, my first ever concert was here when I was like five years old, ever, right here in the Schot... Haha, and uh, you know, fucking, twenty-seven years later, we are headlining the fucking Schottenstein Center, holy shit! Now, who out there has seen Beartooth live before? Anybody? That's very good

Now, do we have any first timers here in the house? First timers, where are you? Now, as you might have guessed, with this being our hometown, I have played a lot of fucking shows in Columbus, Ohio. Lot of shows. And I have a feeling that we have some of the loudest singers that we have ever played to in the fucking house tonight, so. By show of hands, how many singers are in the house? Singers, where are you? How about like, do we have any professional singers? Like, the best singers in the fucking world, anybody? I see like three or four. Now... Now, I'm gonna call bullshit on this, now. I feel like, I feel like I got about half of you to put your hands up. Now, here's what we're gonna do. On the count of three, you are going to make the loudest noise you have ever made in your fucking life, so take a deep breath. One, two, three! You see? That's all singing is. That's all this whole show is about. It's about letting go

I know the world is fucking, we all know that life can be absolutely fucked. But here? Here at a Beartooth show? Oh, that is not the case. That is not the case. We are here to provide you with sanctuary. We are here to provide you with a place to let all of your shit go. Just like I said earlier. It's magical, I promise you. So, all I ask, is you believe, just a little bit. And what can happen, when you sing as loud as you fucking can, 'cause I promise you, it has changed my entire fucking life. So. I have been waiting for one whole fucking year to play this very song that I'm about to play. And I have played it many times to many audiences. But tonight? This is gonna be the loudest it has ever been. So, let's have some fun with it. Let's see if you know this one. Ah-he-hem

It's "Mr. Brightside", you know it. So sing it as loud as you can

[Verse 1: Caleb Shomo & Crowd]

I'm comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' just fine

Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all

It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag

And they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head, but she's touching his


[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Shomo]

Chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can't look, it's killing me

And taking control


[Chorus: Caleb Shomo]

Jealousy

Turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
