I'm burnt out    like a corpse in a campfire   all I got is time   there is something   in the eyes of a child   it may rust and fade   but it can never die   if I knew then   everything that I know now   I'd never blink again   I'm caught in a nose dive   no one escapes   no one makes it out alive   just like a fire in the mines      you can't make me go home   I don't need a hand to hold   when I'm ready to go   you will be the first to know   and I will see that this place   is laid to waste   ain't it a shame      I've been wearing   my heart taped on my sleeve   I'm not afraid of the dark   but I'm wary of sleep   I'm dried up   like the corpse of a vampire   time is on my side   I know I am burning   I can't feel the flames   but you can see the smoke for miles   just like a fire in the mine      you can't make me go home   I don't need a hand to hold   when I'm ready to go   you will be the first to know   hell no   I won't do what I'm told   'cuz I know   I'll be dead before im old   and I will see that this place   is laid to waste   ain't it a shame   ain't it a shame   ain't it a shame   maybe I'm to blame      I've changed now   like it's the curse of the full moon   the night is mine   I'm like a werewolf   with the mind of a child   you can plead and cry   all I can do is smile   if I could teach you   everything that I know now   you'd never breathe again   we've been stepping on landmines   we've made mistakes   and now we're gonna fucking die   a bullet between the eyes      you can't make me go home   I don't need a hand to hold   when I'm ready to go   you will be the first to know   and I will see that this place   is laid to waste   and they will rue the day   as we dance upon thier graves   ain't it a shame   baby not to me
