So you've seen I've gotten this far. 
Please give me some place to worry. 
I'm not trying to go there, so take me away. 
Life sometimes pisses me off. 
It's never a good trip for me 
Every time I reach for love, it's taken away. 
Night! So I play. 

Give me a sign this is day. 
Give me some patience, so I pray. 
It's time to die. Is that what I want? 
There's nothing wrong wanting to be loved. 
Is there something wrong with me? 
Once in my life I'd like to be really set free. 

Let me be me. 
Night! So I play. 
Give me a sign this is day. 
Give me some guidance, so I pray. 
It's time to die. Is that what I want? 

Take me away. 
Taken away. 
Take me away. 
Taken away. 

Something I get, I got to get home 
Run, run, run, run, run, run running home 
Where is my home
Night! So I play. 
Give me a sign this is day. 
Give me some patience, so I pray. 
It's time to die. Is that what I want? 

Night! So I play. 
Give me a sign this is day. 
Give me some guidance, so I pray. 
It's time to die. Is that what I want?
