  • I know my uses
    I have my pride
    But my heart is still untamed
    I learned my lessons
    I've conquered death
    I go on and I'm unashamed
    I'll paint your bones to match my eyes
    They're the darkest I have ever seen
    Until I'm lucid, I can't be told
    I know my voices
    They tell me to believe

    Another fucking accident out of control
    All the attitudes will never change
    My imitations are leading the way
    I can't accept that I still don't find this strange

    In light of my ability to feel denial
    I walk away from everything with just a smile
    The agony of coming home has gone away
    It's everywhere
    It's everyone
    It's every day

    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life

    I beg your pardon
    I'm out of the way
    A new conspiracy has taken my place
    So over and over, I smell the decay
    Believe what you want to, the cycle stays the same

    In light of my ability to undermine
    I walk away from apathy, I'm feeling fine
    The agony of cynicism beckons me
    It's everywhere, it's everyone, it's everything

    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life

    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left
    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left
    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left
    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left

    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life
    Are you ready for the time of your life

    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left
    Let's, pretend, we're not at the end
    Pretend, that we have nothing left Writer/s: Christopher Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, James Root, Michael Crahan, Mickael Thomson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Sidney Wilson
