[Intro: Corey Taylor]
"Hold on to your fucking balls, this is gonna kill you"
"It's over, bitch"

[Chorus]
Hold out for better days (You never know, you never know)
Another runaway (So far, so far away from home)
The fantasy becomes something you hold so close
But when the day breaks
Hold out for better days (You never know, you never know)
Another runaway (So far, so far away from home)
The fantasy becomes something you hold so close
But when the day breaks (You never know, you never know)

[Interlude]
"You don't seriously plan on obeying that crazy bitch, do you?"
Check-check, check

[Verse]
It's how it goes, writing out nightmares all alone
Voice too trashed to hit the notes
Waiting for, waiting for hope in your home (In your home)
The gravity of rotting souls, it holds, it holds
You know (You know), it never really goes

[Interlude]
And so, you never know, you never know
"I hate that stupid mouse"
[Bridge]
For so long, I thought I could only hide
Dumb kid keeping everything inside (Okay, okay then)
But in the end, I'm a degenerate piece of shit
Motherfucker and proud of it
I cannot take another day pretending this is it
You know the score (Come at me, bitch)

[Chorus]
Hold out for better days (You never know, you never know)
Another runaway (So far, so far away from home)
The fantasy becomes something you hold so close
But when the day breaks
Hold out for better days (You never know, you never know)
Another runaway (So far, so far away from home)
The fantasy becomes something you hold so close
But when the day breaks (You never know)
(You never know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)

[Breakdown]
Oh, let's go, motherfucker
I know, motherfucker
Oh, no, oh, no
No soul

[Outro: Corey Taylor]
"You like that shit, Hartford?
Do you like that shit, Hartford?"
