Countdown Lyrics

[Intro]
Let's go

[Verse 1]
Stop and wait, hold your applause
3, 2, 1, but the cameras pause
Lights go out and the frame goes soft
The color's bled and the picture's off
Time, it seems to stop
You get a little bit but not a lot
Dangerous kids, a bunch of misfits
Show you what we got
Yeah, it's on tonight, I'm gone tonight
Playing way too hard just to fall tonight
Believe when I say when it's over
You won't believe anything that you saw tonight
So stop and wave to the silent crowd
3, 2, 1, and the empty sound
Applause, applause
Before we bring the fucking house down

[Breakdown]
Oh, it's taking control now
Breaking open the gates
And tearing them down
It feeds on the violence
Just a number to them
A face in the crowd
Unbreakable
You're selling yourself like a brand
And don't you know
How much you pay
To sit in the palm of their hand?
[Verse 2]
I'm just a fake, just a lie
You build it up and I'll break it down
And the truth, yeah, it's mine
And it's really all that I got
And time, it seems to stop
You get a little bit but not a lot
Dangerous kids, a bunch of misfits
Show you what we got

[Chorus]
Open your eyes, you're treading water
Before you drown in the truth, become the lie
I'd die tonight just to feel alive
(You're waking up)
We'll die tonight just to feel alive
(You're waking up)

[Bridge]
This is a countdown to nothing
Here in the palm of my hand
So will you let me destroy you
Like the machine that I am
This is a countdown to nothing
Here in the palm of my hand
So will you let me destroy you
Like the machine, like the machine
And tonight
We'll die tonight just to feel alive
[Chorus]
Open your eyes, you're treading water
Before you drown in the truth, become the lie
I'd die tonight just to feel alive
(You're waking up)
We'll die tonight just to feel alive
(You're waking up)
Dangerous kids, a bunch of misfits
Show you what we got

[Outro]
I'd die tonight just to feel alive
We'll die tonight just to feel alive
