  • Have you come here to save me?
    Have you come here to waste my time again?
    Ask me too many questions
    Ask me too many questions I can't stand
    And come out of nowhere
    Put my head through a window instead of talking
    Have you come here to save me?
    Have you come here to waste my time again?

    You'll never learn
    You'll never learn how much I want to burn
    I want to burn
    That's the way I like it
    I like it
    I like all of you
    Ever since I've been able
    Ever since there've been weeds growing in my mind
    Like a scene for the weekend
    I descend into weakness
    I'd stop the clock
    But there's some things I can't control
    Parcel it against the wall
    Against the wall

    'Cause you'll never learn
    You'll never learn
    You'll never learn how much I want to burn
    I want to burn
    And you'll never know
    You'll never know how much I want to go
    I want to go

    I stare right into the gun
    Thinking of ways to remind myself
    That
    I stare right into the gun
    Thinking of ways to remind myself
    That

    That's the way I like it
    I like it
    I like all of you
    And that's the way I like it
    I like it
    I like all of you Writer/s: Adam King Feeney, James McMorrow, Kaan Gunseberk
