REVENGE IS A SONG BEST PLAYED LOUD

by Matt Sheaks

Verse One

You live alone. Your home is where you hide…

and on the phone, you’re faking suicides.

You’re waiting for a better day while the rest just slip away.

You live alone. Your home is where you sigh.

Verse Two

You’re peering out to watch across the street…

as all your windows dress up in black sheets.

You thought you had hello worked out, but then it crumbled in your mouth…

and now you haven’t said a single word all week.

Chorus

So you can just carry on the way… (*the way you carry on, sir)

Just carry on the way… (*the way you carry on, sir) x 3

‘Cause you don’t listen to a single word I say, and you’re much too lost anyway.

Verse Three

You’re busy building cults that don’t exist…

unless you count the girls you did not kiss…

and in your brain, there’s a hurricane of everyone that chants your name…

and you wanna die so maybe you’ll be missed.

You’ll be missed.

Chorus (REPEAT)

Verse Four

I don’t know how your neck holds up your head…

‘cause it’s fatted on applause from all your friends.

But did you ever wonder why they never look you in the eye?

I thought you’d like to know it’s mostly lies.

Verse Five

You live alone. You always end up bored,

but going out is always such a chore.

You never saw the point of fun and you wouldn’t want to really have to touch someone,

so you sit at home and strum your lonely chord.

Chorus (REPEAT)
