And you wanna know about my ghosts
I'm 21, I can still afford to get p*ssed
Words are my only weapons
And I wanna raise myself up to the sun
But I can't scrape this muck off me
I'd like to and I can't
To scream while they snap photos of me
Who am a ticking time bomb
Hear that ticking stop
If the threat dies, the magic dies too
Whoever wants me to stop, God damn him
I've waited for this moment my whole life
If I don't feel fear, what d'you want me to say?
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
That this attack would fail
Drowned by the roar of applause
Prisoner in the jaws of photos and videos
But what saddens me is the terrorist
Exposed to public scorn
His bomb was a sham from the start
Sorry, but that's the rule
The saboteur, you know, has to sabotage himself
So, so hands off
Nobody among you humans can take it from me
You emotion freeloaders
Always chasing attention
You drain songs of their magic
Perfect, I'm a seasoned revolutionary, that's right
But if you really got what I said
Then you've seen a paralytic rise from the bed
And I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
I didn't wanna waste it like this
I didn't wanna waste my anger like this
