Welcome to midnight
                           
Screams when I open my eyes
                      
Premeditated isolation
                  
And it still bites

Welcome to real life
                                            
Time doesn’t matter and you’re gonna die
                                                 
Drip drop it goes through the holes in your skull
                           
In the night time they grow
                           
In the night time they grow

Leave if you’re sure
                                                    
When it comes to this you know better than you think
                               
And don’t tell me it’s fine
                           
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
                          
Because the faker the hope
                         
The more painful the song

Get it in your thick skull
                            
Of course it won’t be easy
                                                               
It’s just the way it is, deal with it, I’m tired of whining
                                                
These are just things that I hammer into my skin
                                       
In the night when the sky looks like my
                    
Knuckles and my eyes



And play solo for end
