| It’s 3:34 in the morning
|
| And I still haven’t gone to bed
|
| I shake and scream and tug at my ears
|
| From a song stuck in my head
|
| I know that I have heard it before
|
| And it’s notes they make me weep
|
| This song comes burrowing through endless night
|
| As I desperately try to sleep
|
| Its tune is haunting and evil to me
|
| My insides are starting to show
|
| This brutal song keeps playin' on
|
| And this is how it goes
|
| Padam padam padam
|
| Padam padam padam
|
| I been a martyr witnessed hell
|
| But never a horror like this
|
| It’s paralyzing and breaks me down
|
| Leaves a tightness in my chest
|
| I fear that it’s the end of me
|
| These chords they rip so deep
|
| I can’t control the energy I get
|
| When the notes begin to leap
|
| It has a line that mellows out
|
| And I can breathe one more breath
|
| But then the bridge comes storming in
|
| And this is what it says
|
| Padam padam padam
|
| Padam padam padam
|
| How could music feel so free
|
| And still take all that you have
|
| I thought you were my savior once
|
| But now I see you are my death
|
| An unrequited love we have
|
| I give it all at every show
|
| But you take and take and bury my heart
|
| And try to strip away my soul
|
| I have a wife, I have two sons
|
| But you snap them up in two
|
| Padam padam padam, you scream
|
| To this song my life I give to you
|
| So I’ll sit here and pick the notes in my head
|
| Across this beaten guitar
|
| And I’ll continue throughout eternity
|
| Because the end is still so far |
