oh man, I can't believe that you did what they said
you did and to this day I've still gotta say that in
my mind I question it I wish I knew what you had
meant before you went and left me wondering to
just an echo of your voice 
'listen...listen…listen…listen'

now I wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing
with a razorblade and wonder if I have the
balls at all or am I gonna be afraid where are
you? what do you think? cuz I’m not sure when
knocking at death's door if I will be [bad word] in
or be left alone outside

I hear the sound of a heart
from the shadow in the dark
waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(listen--my son) 

I see the darkness surround
the shape on the ground 
the killer straight up and a body face down
(firstborn-last one) 

I hear the din of the screams, 
sorrow in streams
the smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen--my son) 

I see a heart set free
and my legacy hear a voice from a
shadow that is beckoning me
(firstborn-last one)

I guess [bad word] a point 
when you think to yourself
"this isn't worth it, it isn't worth it" 
and now I feel what you felt, 
and now I feel what you felt inside brother 
and now I feel what you felt
this isn't worth it, it isn't worth it

I hear the sound of a heart
from the shadow in the dark
waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(listen--my son) 

I see the darkness surround
the shape on the ground 
the killer straight up and a body face down
(firstborn-last one) 

I hear the din of the screams, 
sorrow in streams
the smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen--my son) 

I see a heart set free and my legacy
hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me
(firstborn-last one--listen)

I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way. 
I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way. 
I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way. 
I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't, I wish it didn't end this way.

live a life in [bad word] through a mortal shell asphyxiating
smell for a crime lifetime imagination
locked in a cell and to the other
firstborn, I see the same scene that
must play over in your mind and now.
how much more I'm sure it's [bad word] with
your head just like it's [bad word] up mine.
"listen my son-firstborn last one"
the message you sent out to me-I can not
change what's meant to be
the message you sent out to me-I can not
change what's meant to be

what am I supposed to do now?

I hear the sound of a heart
from the shadow in the dark
waiting for the poison to hit its mark
[hit its mark hit its mark] 

I see the darkness surround
the shape on the ground 
the killer straight up and a body face down
[body face down body face down]

I hear the din of the screams, 
sorrow in streams
the smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen) 

I see a heart set free and my legacy
hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me 
(my son)

I hear the sound of a heart
