Speak, lost for words
Talk in tongues, I've never understood
Brave you might be


You still want to stop the black parade

Ask me why I've stayed upstairs
Tell me why I won't break bad
Leave the fire on and walk away
That's a mess you will find another day

Chew, the tongues expired
A mouthful of some thankful words that don't taste
Breathe only for now
It's almost time to drink up or go south

Ask me why I've stayed upstairs
Tell me how I won't break bad
Leave the fire on and walk away
That's a mess you will find another day

And ask me why I made these plans
And tell me why I can't be mad
Leave the wild and lock it away
That's a mess you will find someday
