When the leader of the bad guys sang Something soft and soaked in pain I heard the echo from his secret hideaway He must've forgot to close his door As he cranked out those dismal chords And his four walls declared him insane
[Pre-Chorus] I found my way Right time, wrong place As I pled my case
[Chorus] You're the judge, oh no Set me free You're the judge, oh no Set me free I know my soul's freezing Hell's hot for good reason So please, take me
[Verse 2] Three lights are lit But the fourth one's out I can tell 'cause it's a bit darker than the last night's bout I forgot about the drought of lightbulbs in this house So I head out Down a route I think is heading south But I'm not good with directions And I hide behind my mouth I'm a pro at imperfections And I'm best friends with my doubt And now that my mind's out And now I hear it clear and loud I'm thinking, ''Wow I probably shoulda stayed inside my house.''
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge x2] I don't know if this song Is a surrender or a revel I don't know if this one Is about me or the devil
[Chorus]
[Outro] You're the judge, oh no Set me free You're the judge, oh no Set me free You're the judge, oh no Set me free You're the judge, oh no Set me free
