Song Lyrics

Holding the code on top
Waiting for light and sound to stop
Deeper and deeper, today
Further and further, I fade away

Let me ignore the cost
Special effects for common loss
I'm ready for numb
I'm ready for numb

If the demons take me
I just wanna be dead for good
When the spirit meets me
I will die like a good man should

I was only eighteen when I finally let go
Picking at the dead like a remnant on the road
I will never understand if I never get told
Living in the dark like a remnant on the road

Digging with pale, white hands
Keeping the calm and tasting sand
Doing a favor, today
Telling a friend to stay away

I can't afford the cost
I don't care for what I've lost
I'm ready for numb
I'm ready for numb

And if the angels take me
They're gonna need extra time
When the spirit mocks me
I'll know I'll only take what's mine

I was only twenty-five when I finally went home
Looking for a ride like a murder on the road

I will only understand when you leave me alone
Dying in the dark like a murder on the road
Like a murder on the road

You're never too young to remember you're old
Looking for a deal like the devil on the road

I will only understand when I finally get told
Waiting for the dark like the devil on the road

Like the devil on the road
Like the devil on the road
Like the devil on the road
