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? 
 'Cause 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 cannot change 
 What's meant to be
 The message you 
 Sent out to me
 I cannot 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
 From the shadow in the dark
 Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
 (Listen... my son) 

 I see
