[Verse 1]

You watch as I get older, every year it seems to get colder

Saving up for the bounty, there's a price on my head

Put my hopes into a god

It's all simple 'til it's not

Watch me bleed out on the floor

And kick the dirt up off my skull

Picture-perfect, how could anyone tell?

Rose-tint lens, so they cover me well

How do you know that I'm less than myself?

Give another reason not to rot in my cell

I can't take another second for the old me

Face down, but I can't breathe

See me glued waist-down on a carousel

Who cares, baby, when I only meant well?


[Chorus]

Since '02, it's been code blue

No use resuscitate, flatline defibrillate

It's okay, baby, you can't save me now

Point blank, I swear it's alright

I'll tiptoe right out of your sight, yeah


[Verse 2]

Read the room, it's worth your life

But I take two days to reply

Phone on DND, stop texting me, and save yourself some time

Who's there when the party's over?

They say I should start over

Both my hands are tied

So just lay it on me

Why the fuck should I bother?

Take it from my father

Words are like bullets

Cock it, then you pull it

It's me in my own way

Say it straight to my face

Like I said, I'm sorry

I only meant it partly

Why should I bother?

Take it from my father

Words are like bullets


[Chorus]

Since '02, it′s been code blue

No use resuscitate, flatline defibrillate

It's okay, baby, you can′t save me now

Point blank, I swear it's alright

I'll tiptoe right out of your sight, yeah
