Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In life, just be alone
Though you're a wanderin' soul
And you got to move on
From the squandered soil
When you get what you came here for
Will you leave in the dead of night?
In the heart is a wall of horrors
You're the undenied
[Verse 2]
Can't return the sacred time you steal
Your theft betrays the way you feel
And the sight delays the right to heal
It decide to stay long
[Verse 3]
I didn't plan to stay long
I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long)
I didn't plan to stay long
I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long)
In the snake pit, so long, I've got posters up (Stay long)
Been defending so long, I don't know how to stop
[Verse 4]
Ah, tell 'em what you came for
Ah, tell them what you came for
Ah, tell them what you've been daydreamin' about
What the evenings about to
[Verse 5]
Can't return the sacred time you steal
The theft betrays the way you feel
And the sight delays the right to heal
You decide to stay long
[Verse 6]
I didn't plan to stay long
I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long)
I didn't plan to stay long
I didn't plan to stay long (Stay long)
In this snake pit so long, I've got posters up (Stay long)
I've been defending so long, I don't know how to stop
I'm so afraid
[Verse 7]
Tell 'em what you came for
Tell 'em what you came for
Tell 'em what you've been daydreamin' about
What the evenings about to
[Verse 8]
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Tell 'em what you came here for
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 9]
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, oh, stay long
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, long
