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...
