I wake up at the end of a long, dark, lonely year Itâ??s bringing out the worst in me I hear your voice start breaking in fear When the lights go down And I still feel you looking over my shoulder Youâ??re sinking guilt and approaching nightmare And I know none of us will survive Because I know everything Alright And my dear I need you to move a little faster This second counts as the rest of your life Your final word and an itchy finger And then itâ??s taken away And weâ??ll be beaten down without mercy or meaning I turn my face to a careless skyline Iâ??m searching hard for a sign from heaven But theyâ??ve forgotten me here You can just stop talking, I get it I hear your silence loud and clear I know itâ??s barely a thought but itâ??ll see us through Iâ??m only setting you free so just let it happen Just let it happen, no need to fear Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it Sex, f***, and fluorescent lighting A hollow point on an angry bullet Weâ??re on the teeth of a crocodile Weâ??re in the mouth of the gun And sometimes at night I feel Iâ??m just a broken vessel An instrument with a darker purpose Iâ??m at the throat of the young and the helpless Because theyâ??ve got nothing to say So you can just stop talking, I get it I hear your silence loud and clear I know itâ??s barely a thought but itâ??ll see us through Iâ??m only setting you free so just let it happen Just let it happen, no need to fear Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it
