lyrics

crawl back
hide your face
you don’t want to show it here anyway
by reason of all of this treason and trickery

sit up straight
raise a glass
pay a little homage to an imperfect past
to the light that lit your way

and when they ask
where you got your mask
don’t avoid the task
of telling them the truth

you took it from the light
without a proper fight
to hide the many faces of your youth

so when your dirty little thoughts start to simmer
take your dirty little finger off the dimmer
when unsolvable problems begin to figure
keep your dirty little finger off the trigger

reel back write your will
we’ve been looking for a little pest to kill
by way of betrayal and beckoning bravery
stand up tall turn around
tranquilly tiptoe off this hallowed ground
by the light that lit your way

I’ll shine it bright
i’ll hold it right
so you don’t stumble
on your way out

so when your dirty little thoughts start to simmer
take your dirty little finger off the dimmer
when unsolvable problems begin to figure
keep your dirty little finger off the trigger

who turned the light on?

who lit your way

I bet you think of me everyday
and it probably pains you to think that way
I’ll never relieve you of having no words to say

what’s mine is mine every part
like a shooting star through your heart
burning up on re-entry and sending you back to the start

the price you pay
arrives today
so please get out of the way
