[Verse 1]
I can't bleed out
Now I'm suffocating
A curse, A masochistic sort of feeling
I feel the silver piercing through my chest
You believe in myths, then I can't die yet (YOU BELIEVE IN MYTHS, THEN I CAN'T DIE YET)
ALL THIS SERVITUDE, I DID MY TIME
I PLAYED WITH YA'LL BUT YOU LEFT ME BEHIND
I felt the pain, a little glory
I never fit in, I'LL NEVER SAY I'M SORRY

[Chorus]
And when you turn off the lights (THE LIGHTS)
Can you hear me calling
In the dead of the night (THE NIGHT)
When you're FINALLY BROKEN? (FINALLY BROKEN?)
It's ok cause you're still not feelin' a thing (STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING)
It's ok cause the worst is over
It's ok cause YOU'RE STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING

[Post-Chorus]
TEAR ME DOWN
Tear me down
Tear me down

[Verse 2]
It's a part of me, it's my story
You buried me once but you can't ignore me
In the cеmetery I sold my soul
I gave up friеnds FOR ROCK'N'ROLL
THE SMELL OF BLOOD, THE YEARS OF LOVE
JUST A CATALYST TO WHAT I'VE BECOME
I CAN'T DESCRIBE ALL THE DEMONS I'VE MET
YOU BELIEVE IN MYTHS THEN I CAN'T DIE YET
[Chorus]
And when you turn off the lights (THE LIGHTS)
Can you hear me calling
In the dead of the night (THE NIGHT)
When you're FINALLY BROKEN? (FINALLY BROKEN?)
It's ok cause you're still not feelin' a thing (STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING)
It's ok cause the worst is over
It's ok cause YOU'RE STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING

[Post-Chorus]
TEAR ME DOWN
Tear me down
Tear me down

[Bridge]
I hear the wolves at the gate
You can't run just to wilt and decay
All the voices running through my head
BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR GOD IF YOUR'E ALREADY DEAD

[Breakdown]
DEAD
IF YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD
IF YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD
If you're already dead
[Chorus]
And when you turn off the lights (THE LIGHTS)
Can you hear me calling
In the dead of the night (NIGHT)
When you're finally broken?
It's ok cause you're still not feelin' a thing (STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING)
It's ok cause the worst is over
It's ok cause YOU'RE STILL NOT FEELIN' A THING

[Outro]
TEAR ME DOWN
Tear me down
Tear me down
Tear me down
TEAR ME DOWN
Tear me down
