[Verse 1]
Let's take the tape back to the top
Back to my neon neck of the woods
Forever fated to become
All that you hated when you were young
[Pre-Chorus]
Sold my sorrow with a smile
And I tossed the key to the coda
And the carousel
'Cause I know that you know me well
[Chorus]
First, there was silence
Then the violence
Then the loss, the light, the lies
It was exciting
Dodging lightning
When I had you by my side
Along for the ride
And a song for the ride
[Verse 2]
Painted a pact onto your palm
Blood off the blade of my balisong
Forever fated to become
All that you hated when you were young
[Pre-Chorus]
Like cannibals hunt their own
You can keep the key to the coda
And the carousel
'Cause I know that you love me still
[Chorus]
First, there was silence
Then the violence
Then the loss, the light, the lies
It was exciting
Dodging lightning
Wish I had you by my side
Along for the ride
And a song for the ride
