i'm burnt out. like a corpse in a campfire.
all i got is time. there is something.
in the eyes of a child.
it may rust and fade.
but it can never die.
if i knew then everything that i know now i'd never blink again.
i'm caught in a nose dive.
no one escapes. no one makes it out alive.
just like a fire in the mine.
you can't make me go home.
i don't need a hand to hold.
when i'm ready to go.
you will be the first to know and i will see that this place is laid to waste.
ain't it a shame.
i've been wearing my heart taped on my sleeve.
i'm not afraid of the dark.
but i'm wary of sleep.
i'm dried up.
like the corpse of a vampire.
time is on my side.
i know i am burning.
i can't feel the flames, but you can see the smoke for miles.
just like a fire in the mine.
you can't make me go home.
i don't need a hand to hold.
when i'm ready to go. you will be the first to know.
hell no, i won't do what i'm told.
'cuz i know, i'll be dead before i'm old.
and i will see that this place.
is laid to waste.
ain't it a shame.
ain't it a shame.
ain't it a shame.
maybe i'm to blame.
i've changed now, like it's the curse of the full moon.
the night is mine.
i'm like a werewolf, with the mind of a child.
you can plead and cry. all i can do is smile.
if i could teach you everything that i know now, you'd never breathe again.
we've been stepping on landmines.
we've made mistakes, and now we're gonna fucking die.
a bullet between the eyes.
you can't make me go home.
i don't need a hand to hold.
when i'm ready to go, you will be the first to know.
and i will see that this place is laid to waste.
and they will rue the day, as we dance upon their graves. ain't it a shame.
baby not to me
