Nails in the Coffin (What You Came For)
Lyrics
Well did you pray you'd see another dawn
Crank it to eleven and let's pray some more
Hunting you down and you're a
Rabbit in the headlights
Long nights, bar fights
Playing all your cards right
Nails in the coffin understand it all
Hear the faint of heart break between these walls
You're shaking but its too late, the
Nightmare is you now
Dance boy, dance boy, fuck your excuse now
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
Can't you see, I'm setting you free
Right now I'm catching fire, nothing's escaping me
Beat the clock, take your shot
Sit around, wait in line, regrets are an afterthought
If you had, the power of a voice, would you
Stand with us cause we're you're only choice
Come what may, but hear me say, an
Onslaught tomorrow are just bullets today
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
Well now Sir I don't know what to say, it
Seems every time something gets in the way, I fall
Down, til it's here that I lay and I
Can't get back up so it's here that I'll stay
That's what you think, but not what you believe
Any time you like you just get up and leave, but
Remember what I taught you, the lies that I weave are
Nothing compared to the tricks up my sleeve
That's all well and good but
You're a terrible mess
I think if I stayed down, it would
Be for the best
My heart is not in this so I'll
Stay here undressed
Take these demons away and carve open my chest
There's what meets the eye and then
More to conceive, I
Promise you now, we stand
Here on the eve, of
Everything I taught you, the lies that I weave are
Nothing compared to the tricks up my sleeve
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
Wake me up
Neck another half pint
Wait, my love
Welcome to the spotlight
Take a bow
Reconcile the crowd roar
Fake a smile
This is what you came for
