Lyrics

Album version
[Verse 1]

He wakes up early today

Throws on a mask that will alter his face

Nobody knows his real name

But now he just uses one he saw on a grave


[Pre-Chorus]

And he pretends he's okay, but you should see, oh

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified


[Chorus]

Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favor and try to ignore

As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor


[Verse 2]

He thinks that faith might be dead

Nothing kills a man faster than his own head

He used to see dreams at night

But now he's just watching the backs of his eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

He pretends he's okay, but you should see

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified


[Chorus]

Take me out and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favor and try to ignore

As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah!


[Bridge]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

Take me out and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favor and try to ignore

When you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor


[Outro]

'Cause nobody knows he's alive
