Another half-assed last laugh inside my head
How we were pretty shitty lovers, but way worse friends
I write all in a letter, but won’t press send
‘Cause you’re all better off keeping me a loose end
I feel the breeze of the atom bomb wash over me
I am finally free from fragility
They say an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
But I can still look through you just fine
TAKE COVER
Sound the alarm
This time around I’m finally gonna get harmed
TAKE COVER
We’re about to explode
Take my last words laughing and let go
Lick the blood off the martyr who caught the grenade
Was gonna die for his country all the same
How many walls will I put up to keep me caged?
How many soldiers will meet the same fate?
TAKE COVER
‘Cause we’re goin’ down
Brace myself for the moment I hit the ground
TAKE COVER
‘Cause I’m hittin’ home
Take my last words laughing and let go
The half-life keeps you in my mind
The half-life keeps me feelin’ fine
The half-life keeps you in my mind
The half-life haunts me all the time
The half-life keeps you in my mind
The half-life keeps me feelin’ fine
The half-life keeps you in my mind
The half-life haunts me all the time
TAKE COVER
Sound the alarm
This time around I’m finally gonna get harmed
TAKE COVER
We’re about to explode
Take my last words laughing and let go
TAKE COVER
‘Cause we’re goin’ down
Brace myself for the moment I hit the ground
TAKE COVER
‘Cause I’m hittin’ home
Take my last words laughing and let go
