[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
