Lyrics

Killswitch

Despite all of the negatives

I still get up and yeah I still get down

No reason I'm made of positives

And all you fuckers cannot turn me round

I like to watch you watch yourself

Turn that killswitch on yourself

Make it hard to watch

Find out you're wishing me through

Celebrate all of the positives

And everything will work itself out fine

Wrong season I'm made of negatives

'Cause all you people see are dollar signs

I like to watch you watch yourself

Put that killswitch on yourself

Make it hard to watch

Find out you're wishing me true

You act like you have been here before

No one wants to tell you you're adored

You act like you have been here before

I like to watch you watch yourself

Turn that killswitch on yourself

Make it hard to watch

Find out you're wishing me true

You act like you have been here before

No one wants to tell you you're adored

You act like you have been here before

You act like you have been here before

No one wants to tell you you're adored

You act like you have been here before
