Speak, lost for words Talk in tongues, I've never understood Brave you might be You still want to stop the black parade Ask me why I've stayed upstairs Tell me why I won't break bad Leave the fire on and walk away That's a mess you will find another day Chew, the tongues expired A mouthful of some thankful words that don't taste Breathe only for now It's almost time to drink up or go south Ask me why I've stayed upstairs Tell me how I won't break bad Leave the fire on and walk away That's a mess you will find another day And ask me why I made these plans And tell me why I can't be mad Leave the wild and lock it away That's a mess you will find someday
