Stop and wait, hold your applause 3, 2, 1, but the cameras pause Lights go out and the frame goes soft The color's bled and the picture's off
Time, it seems to stop You get a little bit but not a lot Dangerous kids, a bunch of misfits Show you what we got
Yeah, it's on tonight I'm gone tonight Playing way too hard just to fall tonight Believe when I say when it's over You won't believe anything that you saw tonight
So stop and wave to the silent crowd 3, 2, 1, and the empty sound Applause, applause Before we bring the fucking house down
Oh, it's taking control now Breaking open the gates And tearing them down It feeds on the violence Just a number to them
A face in the crowd unbreakable You're selling yourself like a brand And don't you know How much you pay To sit in the palm of their hand?
I'm just a fake, just a lie You build it up and I'll break it down And the truth, yeah, it's mine And it's really all that i got
And time, it seems to stop You get a little bit but not a lot Dangerous kids, a bunch of misfits Show you what we go
Open your eyes You're treading water Before you drown in the truth Become the lie I'd die tonight just to feel alive (You're waking up) We'll die tonight just to feel alive
This is a countdown to nothing Here in the palm of my hand So will you let me destroy you Like the machine that I am?
This is a countdown to nothing Here in the palm of my hand So will you let me destroy you Like the machine that I am?
And tonight We'll die tonight just to feel alive
Open your eyes You're treading water Before you drown in the truth Become the lie I'd die tonight just to feel alive (You're waking up) We'll die tonight just to feel alive
We'll die tonight just to feel alive We'll die tonight just to feel alive
