I stand here before the night
Alone in the spotlight
I hear the echoes of me checking the mic
The tempo of the moment is right
I pick an angle to show my veins
Just to reveal how we are the same
It all made sense to behave insane
To attain your love, through pain
To get you to hear who's behind the mic
I banged my head on the walls all through
the night
Delirious from the way you deny me, polite
I stay in the room and lie
Do I give in to the rage or Cry
Self affliction brings me back to life
