Lyrics

Set It Off

Wait every hour of every day

Played light, played hard

Had to go my way

I feel like death wearing a disguise

Can't catch my breath

From all this noise

From all this noise

I want I want I want I want I want

I'm fucking bored

Give me a new found sensation

Take it Take it Take it Take it

Take all the pills

I'll try anything to get me off

Come on Come on Come on Come on

Kicked in the ass

Why do you tell me I can't?

Fake it Fake it Fake it Fake it

I can't go on

Give me anything to set it off

Set it off

I bite your tongue

Watch with keen eyes

I found the gun

Nervouse excitement

Go on and touch it

You just might like

I sip your poison one last time

One last time

Time time time time

I want I want I want I want I want

I'm fucking bored

Give me a new found sensation

Take it Take it Take it Take it

Take all the pills

I'll try anything to get me off

Come on Come on Come on Come on

Kicked in the ass

Why do you tell me I can't?

Fake it Fake it Fake it Fake it

I can't go on

Give me anything to set it off

My confidence is all that's left

Under this veil I count the minutes

I'm growing weaker

Search for a glimmer

Pulsating sounds come blaring out

You may be right

My mind is gone

I'll try anything to set this off

Set it off

Set it off

Anything to set it off

Anything to set it off

Anything anything anything to set it off..

I want I want I want I want I want

I'm fucking bored

Give me a new found sensation

Take it Take it Take it Take it

Take all the pills

I'll try anything to get me off

Come on Come on Come on Come on

Kicked in the ass

Why do you tell me I can't?

Fake it Fake it Fake it Fake it

I can't go on

Give me anything to set it off

Anything anything anything to set it off...

Anything anything anything to set it off...
