Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Send us a blindfold
Send us a blade
Tell the survivors
Help is on the way
[Verse 2]
I was a blind fool
Never complained
All the survivors
Singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
[Verse 3]
Find us a trap door
Find us a plane
Tell the survivors
Help is on the way
[Verse 4]
I was a blind fool
I never complained
All the survivors
Singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
[Verse 5]
What it is, and where it stops
Nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
[Verse 6]
What it is, and where it stops
Nobody knows
[Verse 7]
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
[Verse 8]
What it is, and where it stops
Nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave, but the world won't let me go
[Verse 9]
What it is, and where it stops
Nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
[Verse 10]
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle
Leave it up to me
Leave it up to me
Leave it up to me
