Countdown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stop and wait, Hold your applause,
3, 2, 1, But the camera’s 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 got.
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?
And tonight,
We’ll die tonight just to feel alive.
