[Intro]
  A   D(x2)
[Verse]
 AYou've gotta stay away - I got a voice inside my Dhead 
N.C.
that doesn't wanna play with you tonight
No, my Acalendar's blocked off for days - Just him and I aDlone
N.C.
We're drawing plays for ways to take the cake
[Pre-Chorus]
BuBt he won't ever sleepD, so Eit won't take much more time
[Verse]
 ALook, I got a lot to say, but not to you not Dyet
N.C.
There's gotta be a better way for me to skin this cat
But Anow I'm another day behind on catching up with Dmy friend deep inside my crooked head
[Pre-Chorus]
NoB, he won't stop until I'm Ddead - That's the Eonly way to make him leave
[Chorus]
BuAt he gives me super powers
N.C.
Like the wizards in "Twin Towers"
N.C.
Big thanks for the vase of flowers - 
Sure, I've F#mgot 10 minutes, but it's Enot for hours
 AWe're aligning planets too - That's how you call Cthulu
N.C.
No, I'm not lying to you
Wait a F#mgoddamn minute, don't Epush the issue
[Verse]
 AYou've gotta stay away cause I gotta use this place 
in a Dway that your mind won't erase
If you witness it, no saving Agrace 
N.C.
will deliver you from dreams that always end in screams 
and Dleave you paralyzed inside your mind with all the lies
[Bridge]
It won't be Aclean or organized
N.C.
It won't be neat or undisguised
In fact, it's Dbest if you're baptized 
N.C.
if you surmise you'll be surprised 
by thighs cut Aup and thrown aside 
N.C.
with knives at least two inches wide
This time, go, or DI'll pluck out your eyes and fry them up for me to dine on
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll fall B10,000 Dfeet, and it's Eyou who's coming with me
[Chorus]
 AHe gave me super powers
N.C.
Like the wizards in "Twin Towers"
N.C.
Big thanks for the vase of flowers - 
Sure, I've F#mgot 10 minutes, but it's Enot for hours
 AWe're aligning planets too - That's how you call Cthulu
N.C.
No, I'm not lying to you
Wait a F#mgoddamn minute, don't Epush the issue
[Outro]
A(scream ‘Get pumped’ till you can't anymore)
