Intro: Verso 1: Peel your skin back to show what you’re made of Too bad you never did have the guts to know where your heart should go Instrumental Verso 2: Sit back and twiddle your fingers Hope that no one else figures out the way that you play the game Instrumental Refrain 1 Starved for attention that alone wouldn’t you fill up So you feed on the weak and you drink up their blood, but someday they’ll turn on you Chorus 1 I’ll watch the world go up in flames I’ll strike the match to help you do the same The time is now tick tock its ticking away So now I’m here to rain on your parade Verso 3: So Take a look in the mirror Who’s that? Someone in fear of running out of good places to hide Instrumental Refrain 2 Crawl out from the dark Feel the light hit your face It will never be as bright as the spotlight you crave But watch out before it burns you Chorus 2 I’ll watch the world go up in flames I’ll strike the match to help you do the same The time is now tick tock its ticking away So now I’m here to rain on your parade Instrumental Ponte: The time is now tick tock its ticking away tick tock its ticking away Instrumental: I’ll watch the world go up in flames I’ll strike the match to help you do the same The time is now tick tock its ticking away So now I’m here to rain on your parade
