[Refrain]

Everything is dark

Everybody’s here

All I gotta do is get the words right

When the microphone is near

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Everything is dark

Everybody’s here

All I gotta do is get the words right

When the microphone is near
