She is starting to live her life
From the inside out
Sound of failure calls her name
She's decided to hear it out
So go tell Britney
And go tell Gwen
She's not trying to go
It's all them
Cause she's too scared, and she...
She can't pretend
To understand where it begins
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on, let them go on
Standing there in the graveyard
While the moon sprays its fireworks in your hair
The sound of failure calls her name
She's decided to hear it out
So go tell Britney
And go tell Gwen
She's not trying to go
It's all them
Cause she's too scared, and she...
She can't pretend
To understand where it begins
Or what it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on, let them go on
...where it begins
What it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on, let them go on
...where it begins
What it means to be dead
It's just a sound going through your head
Let them go on, let them go on
...
She doesn't know where it will take her
And she's going into the unknown
