I could do this with my eyes closed I'm back from the dead From the back of my head Been gone and facing horrors That should never be said The wrath and the grit From the pit of despair Been taking every whip and word I've never been spared They say tomorrow's never promised honest They say the angels are among us Lock me up in a maze Turn out turn out the lights I was born I was raised for this Turn out turn out the lights Lock me up inside a cage Just throw away the key don't worry 'bout me I was driving in my car throwing up my hands Put it in coast I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Less medications less manifestations Mantras meditation throw it all away All the places I've been All the blood that I've bled I've been broken down and beat up But I still get ahead All the faceless embraces And the tasteless two faces Killed and resurrected 'Cause I'll never be dead They say tomorrow's never promised honest They say that piranhas are among us Lock me up in a maze Turn out turn out the lights I was born I was raised for this Turn out turn out the lights (Turn out the lights) Lock me up inside a cage Just throw away the key don't worry 'bout me I was driving in my car throwing up my hands Put it in coast I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes— And when the day broke buried in violence Something made my mind up I will spend these days as an island Alone and far away Lock me up in a maze Turn out turn out the lights (Turn out the lights) I was born I was raised for this Turn out turn out the lights Lock me up inside a cage Just throw away the key don't worry 'bout me I was driving in my car throwing up my hands Put it in coast I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed Turn out turn out the lights I could do this with my eyes closed
