Black Soul

Who's the victim now?
Stand up and take a bow, a bow
Face right, face left
Face everyone you disrespect
So who's the asshole now?
Holier-than-thou, you're not
Cause baby's got a black soul
Got a black soul
Got a black soul
You made a mess of your life
And you've been burned once or twice
Now you play roulette with the watergun
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And if I take forever to put you back together
(Face right, face left)
(Face everyone you disrespect)
Now they're on their feet
To watch you double down hard, and take it too far
And you know you're in too deep
Cause you're running out of time and you're talking in your sleep
Baby's got a black soul
Baby's got no control
Baby's got a black soul, got a black soul
Got a black soul
You made a mess of your life
And you've been buried alive
Now you play roulette with the watergun
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And if I take forever to put you back together
Oh oh
Oh oh
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And if I take forever
Wake up
Pull yourself together
Speak up
Cause no one heard your name
Erupt
It's better late than never
And if I take forever to put you back together
