Lyrics

IOU

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.

I wish someone would wake me

'Cause I can't sleep at all

Stuck in purgatory

Waiting for the fall

Auditioned all the endings

I find it hard to tell

Is it better to serve in heaven

Or better to reign in hell?

Say my name

And watch the fire grow

Curse my name

A demon gets its horns

See my face

The one behind my eyes

I'm a son of a bitch, I'm as bad as it gets

And I'll be that till I die

I wish someone would wake me

'Cause I can't sleep at all

Stuck in purgatory

Waiting for the fall

Auditioned all the endings

I find it hard to tell

Is it better to serve in heaven

Or better to reign in hell?

You've never known pain before

Cain before

But I'm gonna show you

You've never been drained before

Shamed before

But I'd love to share

You've never known insane before

Deranged before

I'm here to show you

I owe you nothing

Feel my pain

I bet you can't relate

Know my rage

The one you instigate

Hate this place

The one in which you hide

The devil I know or the devil I don't

I just can't pick a side

I wish someone would wake me

'Cause I can't sleep at all

Stuck in purgatory

Waiting for the fall

Auditioned all the endings

I find it hard to tell

Is it better to serve in heaven

Or better to reign in hell?

You've never known pain before

Cain before

But I'm gonna show you

You've never been drained before

Shamed before

But I'd love to share

You've never known insane before

Deranged before

I'm here to show you

I owe you nothing

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I wish someone would wake me

Wake me up, wake me up (up)

I wish someone would wake me

Wake me up, wake me up (up)

I wish someone would wake me

Wake me up, wake me up (up)

I wish someone would wake me

Wake me up, wake me up, up

You've never known pain before

Cain before

But I'm gonna show you

You've never been drained before

Shamed before

But I'd love to share

You've never known insane before

Deranged before

I'm here to show you

I owe you absolutely nothing

I owe you nothing
