The moon fell
The moon fell
They got a house
They got a house
And burnt it down
And burnt it down
They knew the river
They knew the river
They kept south
They kept south
He's born from ash
He's born from ash
He will burn to ash
He will burn to ash
World made no sense
World made no sense
He had no friends
He had no friends
Who could protect him
Who could protect him
From what would commence
From what would commence
There's no one
There's no one
Torn apart by what he'd seen
Torn apart by what he'd seen
He locked himself inside a screen
He locked himself inside a screen
He felt the colors in between
He felt the colors in between
The pixels it was dopamine
The pixels it was dopamine
It's all he'll know until a teen
It's all he'll know until a teen
And then his world will break in three
And then his world will break in three
From school and friends and family
From school and friends and family
He never acted honestly
He never acted honestly
The light turned green
The light turned green
He hit the gas turned down the street
He hit the gas turned down the street
He thought of dying in a car seat
He thought of dying in a car seat
He thought of crying and stars and sleep
He thought of crying and stars and sleep
He thought of time
He thought of time
Nothing made him feel so bleak
Nothing made him feel so bleak
He had to hide inside retreat
He had to hide inside retreat
His state of mind was too guilty
His state of mind was too guilty
He found out if you broke down love and hate
He found out if you broke down love and hate
That they were both the same
That they were both the same
At least that's how it felt
At least that's how it felt
Ashamed of everything he had to say
Ashamed of everything he had to say
The only way to ease the pain
The only way to ease the pain
Came from the smoke
Came from the smoke
It's all the same
It's all the same
Life is a game
Life is a game
Insurance claim on my name
Insurance claim on my name
I'm counting down days
I'm counting down days
I'm what's wrong with the world today
I'm what's wrong with the world today
I am what's wrong with the world
I am what's wrong with the world
I can't swallow I hurl
I can't swallow I hurl
I can't follow I twirl
I can't follow I twirl
I am hollow
I am hollow
My hand won't uncurl
My hand won't uncurl
My face won't relax
My face won't relax
Why won't they step back
Why won't they step back
I know that I'm bad
I know that I'm bad
But what's worse than this rotten world
But what's worse than this rotten world
I have to act out I could never calm down
I have to act out I could never calm down
This the anthem for everyone who's knocked out
This the anthem for everyone who's knocked out
I'm gonna rise up I won't take the fall now
I'm gonna rise up I won't take the fall now
Yeah the time's up
Yeah the time's up
I'm Wicked Evil and no one could save me now
I'm Wicked Evil and no one could save me now
