[Bridge 1]
It didn't

[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

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
[non-English chant]

[Chorus]
Listen, my son
Firstborn, last one
[Verse 2]
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

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

[Verse 4]
Live a life in hell through a mortal shell, asphyxiating smell
For a crime, lifetime, imagination locked in a cell
And to the other firstborn I see the same scene that must play over in your mind
And now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head just like it's fucked up mine
[Chorus]
Listen, my son
I hear the sound of a heart from the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
Firstborn, last one
I see the darkness surround the shape on the ground
The killer straight up and a body face down
Listen, my son
I hear the din of the screams, sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
Firstborn, last one
I see a heart set free and my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me

[Verse 3]
I guess there comes a point when you think to yourself
"This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"
And now I feel what you felt, and now I feel what you felt inside, brother
And now I feel what you felt: "This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"

[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
[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
