Lyrics
Anwtd
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.
Keep your hands, where I can see 'em
Not gonna lie, I don't think I believe 'em
They said you stole the power
They said you stormed the tower
But the myth don't make the man
And these kids don't give a damn
So I hope you paid the bill
Cause this shit's about to get real
You were gettin' pretty high
Ain't nothin' gonna get you down
Tell them pretty little lies
Drunk, cause you look strung out
And I ain't takin' it, takin' it
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt
That you ain't makin' it, makin' it
And I've got some questions cause I don't understand
Who and when, where and why, you tried to find
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to
Photograph, told you so (told you so)
Not gonna lie, I ain't sold (I ain't sold)
They think there's foul play
They think you paved the way (paved the way)
But you know there's consequences
You seem a little defensive (little defensive)
So I hope you got your thrills
Cause this shit just got real
You were gettin' pretty high
Ain't nothin' gonna get you down
Tell them pretty little lies
Drunk, cause you look strung out
And I ain't takin' it, takin' it
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt
That you ain't makin' it, makin' it
And I've got some questions cause I don't understand
Who and when, where and why, you tried to find
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to
(This ain't a way to die, die, die)
(Die, die)
You were gettin' pretty high
Ain't nothin' gonna get you down
Tell them pretty little lies
Drunk, cause you look strung out
And I ain't takin' it, takin' it
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt
That you ain't makin' it, makin' it
And I've got some questions cause I don't understand
Who and when, where and why, you tried to find
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to die (die, die)
A new way to die (die, die)
Who and when, where and why, you tried to find, a new way to die
