[Intro]
ACan you hear me? Am I speaking clearly?
Are you Fstarstrucked or just made of Astone?
ADo you need a savior? Some bad behavior?
Or you could Fcash it all in, I supApose
[Verse 1]
ABecause you're in deep, resist and repeat
Face Fforward and don't come unAhinged
ABlock out actors and all these bastards
That Ftook all the fun out of Arage and revenge
[Pre-Chorus]
FDon't be so quick to judge, Dmrain havoc from above
AI think I've had enough, Gtime to raise the dead
FIt's all subliminal, Dmsupernatural
AI might be mental but GI've still got my cred
[Chorus]
FSo welcome to the Dmparty, won't you please come inAside?
Where habits have Gteeth and the words carry knives
FYou enter at your Dmown risk, so don't be surAprised
GWelcome to the darkside
[Verse 2]
ASpare me your sorrow, there's no tomorrow
That's an Fempty promise at Abest
AI tried to play nice, you were baptized in ice
So Fdon't tell me you're just deApressed
[Pre-Chorus]
FDon't be so quick to judge, Dmrain havoc from above
AI think I've had enough, Gtime to raise the dead
