[Chorus]
(Firstborn, listen)
(?)

[Verse 1]
Oh, man, I can't believe that you did what they said you did
And to this day I've still gotta say that in my mind I question it
I wish I knew what you had meant before you went
And left me wondering to just an echo of your voice

[Chorus]
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Listen)
(Lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-)
(Lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-, lis-)

[Verse 2]
(Outside----)
Now I wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing with a razor blade
And wonder if I have the balls at all or if I'm gonna be afraid
Where are you? What do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure when knocking at Death's door
If I will be welcomed in or be left alone outside
[Bridge 2]
(Listen, my son)
(Firstborn, last one)
(Listen, my son)
(Firstborn, last one)

[Bridge 1]
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way
