Something to prove. Pacify the monsters from my past

Nothing to lose, so I ain't never coming back

Don't be too sad. I do this with a heavy heart for every man

And please mom and dad – I knew you just wouldn't understand

Now I'd really rather end it with a stroke of the pen, -

- but I'm tired of trying to fix what's broke again

My new shoes are hardly broken in, -

- and this coat don't conceal what it needs to

Hold your breath. The worst has yet to pass

Wait for the bomb to blow. The burst to blast

Stay calm, kid. Never be the first to ask

I need proof that the road is paved

Beat black and blue. These bruises just refuse to let it pass

Not nothing new. My family's familiar with this path

Don't come alone, unless, yes it's divinity you see -

Can set you free. You speak you

Don't get me wrong. --

I'd really rather end this with a stroke of the pen, -

- but up jumped the prophet, and we're at it again

Even with the pin pulled I keep smiling

Beautiful business meets front page violence

Home made handguns for teenage tyrants

The weak ones speak, and the strong stay silent

I've never been the one to laugh last

Trying to fight battles that I've chosen

Midnight for you means for me it's half passed

The wind warms up as it blows in

Hold your breath. The worst has yet to pass

Although I'm constantly wrong

Close your eyes. Protect them from the blast

In case I'm terribly wrong

Even with the pin pulled I keep smiling

Beautiful business meets front page violence

Home made handguns for teenage tyrants

Even with the pin pulled I keep smiling

Hold your breath. The worst has yet to pass

Although I'm constantly wrong

Close your eyes. Protect them from the blast

In case I'm terribly wrong

Hold your breath. The worst has yet to pass

Although I'm constantly wrong

Close your eyes. Protect them from the blast

In case I'm terribly wrong
