lyrics

Stay through the night
It’ll be all right
They can’t hurt you here
Unless you refuse to fight
The angels and the demons now
Will spread their wings
And no one else can see
All the hidden things

Don’t
Go after them
Don’t
Pretend to win
Don’t
Believe the things
They tell you they want you to see
Don’t
Pray to your god
Don’t
Lay down your rod
Don’t
Come tell me that you’ll
Bow to them and take a knee

It’s never the same
I won’t play your damn games
Don’t lie to my face and tell me
You don’t know my name
I’m coming for you
I know just what I’m gonna do
It’s time for me to open up and
Drive the nails through

I hate the way you stay
And commit to every day
Keeping everyone around you
And your feelings at bay
When the time comes to kill
And you know that it will
I’ll be first in line to stab you
Just for the god damn thrill

I don’t want to fight
Just want to lie
Down in the fields
I can’t see the light
Hiding behind
The veil of my tears

Now take a damn seat
Can you taste your own defeat
It’s time for me to say what I think
And throw you to the street
When the time comes to kill
And you know that it will
I’ll be first in line to stab you
Just for the god damn thrill

Now I close my eyes
Keep it inside
Hold in the pain
Like tears in the rain
