The Alphabet of Me
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
You're never gonna retire your power games
Power games
No
Slip from the scene of the crime like a rattlesnake
From all this deafening silence I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh
In the red and the grey
I'm the sage on a ship of fools
There's a tear in the rain, momentary pain
I will feel 'til the end of the road
To be born falling into line or fall like dominoes?
We fall like dominoes (Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
In the blink of a spark
When the links to our past ignite
Burning half as long as the fire in my soul
That is blazing twice as bright
Paper dreams wouldn't change anything
I would hurt the ones I love
To protect the ones I loathe (whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
If you're part of me
Quit me now
We're never gonna reform if we replicate
Replicate
Replicate
No
I'm reaching my breaking point
Object of my affection
Am I still drunk on the memory of us?
How instant our connection
Perfected then lost
A room without a view
A version of the truth
Is all I am to you
I'd flee if I wanted to
Retire from being used
Even if I could bleed
All you would see
Is the alphabet of me
What more can one do
When years define you?
It's time to wake up and die or regenerate
If you're part of me
Quit me now
We're never gonna reform if we replicate
Replicate
Replicate
No
I'm reaching my breaking point
I feel it's time to move on
But we're all in a state of retrograde
Ride the anarchy
Live your truth
Object of my affection
Am I still drunk on the memory of us?
How instant our connection
Perfected then lost (whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
You're never gonna retire your power games
Power games
No
Slip from the scene of the crime like a rattlesnake
From all this deafening silence I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Oh
In the red and the grey
I'm the sage on a ship of fools
There's a tear in the rain, momentary pain
I will feel 'til the end of the road
To be born falling into line or fall like dominoes?

(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh)
