Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goodbye Jimmy, farewell youth
Must be on my way, I've had enough of you
I was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
[Verse 2]
Years that I've waisted, these I owe you's
[Verse 3]
They're just fucking words
This is life or death
It's time to clear the air
You better save your breath
[Verse 4]
Say have you heard?
Say have you heard?
The poison in my heart
Voices in my head
[Verse 5]
Years that, I've waisted, these I owe you's
[Verse 6]
I meant every word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
[Verse 7]
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fucking words
[Verse 8]
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
[Verse 9]
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
