Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Whoa

Angels fall to the floor like they would if I was captain

Silver children, she roared

I'm not the son of God

Somebody help me sing

Can anybody hear me?

Liars and lovers combine tonight

We're gonna make a scene

[PreChorus]

Somebody help me sing, woah-oh-oh

Somebody help me sing, woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Help me be captain of

Our crippled disguises

I won't show what's underneath

It's time for surprises

I can't climb up your ladder

I can't ride your horse

I swallowed half an hourglass

So now the landscape is swollen up

[Verse 2]

I gave birth to a fire

It's like its features were burning

I'm in control

I am the son of God

Somebody help me sing

Can anybody hear me?

Line up your shoulders one final time

We're gonna have a ball

[PreChorus]

Somebody help me sing, woah-oh-oh

Somebody help me sing, woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Help me be captain of

Our crippled disguises

I won't show what's underneath

It's time for surprises

I can't climb up your ladder

I can't ride your horse

I swallowed half an hourglass

So now the landscape is swollen up

[Outro]

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away

Let's lock death away
