[Verse 1]
Indifferent to
the people I
detest
But it harms m
e in a way
That even I cannot detect
In my own fles
h and blood
I think I've h
ad enough
(I think I've had enough, I've had enough)
I welcome deat
h with open ar
ms
Like an old fr
iend I haven't
seen
Since I was young, when young was old
When daddy did
terrible thin
gs
Maybe I'd feel
better then,
when I leave y
ou like this
(Don't let me leave, don't let me leave
Don't let me leave it all behind)
Oh, while some
days are not
that bad
Even pleasant
one might say
I can't control the thoughts I have
I can't contro
l thе present
wave of еmotio
n
Anxiously hopi
ng for somethi
ng or someone
For anything at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't imagin
e a life witho
ut familiarity
I can't imagin
e what it's li
ke to live wit
h certainty
I like to rewa
tch movies
So I know the end of every scene
I know the end
of everything
I do
Because I won't ever leave my room
It's safer her
e, safety's al
l I want and a
ll I need
Buried my issu
es here, deep
within
The walls and in my dreams
In my own atmo
sphere is wher
e I'll die
So, let me die in peace
I'm on my fina
l breath, my f
inal steps
I've never felt so free
[Chorus]
But my head's
spinning
I can't help b
ut think of wh
o I'm abandoni
ng
And suddenly m
y chest cries
out in pure pa
nic
It cannot end like this
I say with str
ength I haven'
t felt before
And that's when it finally hits
With my hands
sweating
Climb down from the ledge
I once saw so
threatening
But it don't cause me fear no more
My fingers tou
ch the fabric
of my jacket
Made of corduroy
Reminding me o
f Brentwood
And the things
that I would
die to see aga
in
[Instrumental Breakdown]
Die to see aga
in (g-g-gain)
Die to see aga
in (g-g-gain)
Die to see aga
in (g-g-gain)
Die to see aga
in (g-g-gain)
[Verse 2]
Woah, oooh ooo
h
My jacket made
of corduroy
Oh I stand to
lose my life,
my soul, my ti
me
N.C.
My home, my thoughts
My sweet and sour youth
I can't let go
of who I was
But I can cut myself in two
And I can pick
up all the pi
eces
And let everybody choose
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah it'
s all in your
mind, boy, it'
s all in your
head
Leave it all b
ehind, you can
finish when y
ou're dead
I'll be waiting for you here
When this madn
ess finally en
ds
N.C.
Remember who you are
N.C.
Don't forget her
[Chorus]
When your head
's spinning
Stuck in a roo
m with the tel
evision on
While you're tripping on shrooms
You got your t
houghts spilli
ng
But none of it
's true, it's
a facade
Your heart can tear apart the parts that make it you
[Outro]
Hello again, i
t's nice to se
e you're back
Did you like t
he things you
saw
Do you finally
understand wh
y I wear cordu
roy?
I really like
corduroy
Hello my frien
d, anything yo
u'd like to as
k
Any unresolved
illusions in
your head
That make you gag
I'm just one c
all away
So please don'
t be afraid to
Call me, back
