Staged Exit

Verse 1

Lead

Smeared lead

I didn't choose this metal feed

Cold

Steel teeth

Biting down on what is underneath

Left a note I didn't write

Ink is fresh

Hand is tight

They say I wanted out

They say I had a doubt

Liars

Chorus

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

The needle and the damage done by hands you cannot see

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

I'm staring at the ceiling while the blood begins to flee

It wasn't me

Verse 2

Dust

White dust

Turned my motor into rust

Found

On the floor

While the ghost is kicking down the door

Check the chamber

Count the shells

Sold my soul

Someone else sells

I loved you all

I loved you all

I loved you all

But I didn't want to fall

Chorus

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

The needle and the damage done by hands you cannot see

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

I'm staring at the ceiling while the blood begins to flee

It wasn't me

Bridge

Look at the grip

Look at the angle

Watch the truth begin to strangle

The stage is empty

The lights are gray

I had so much more to say

I had so much more to say

I had so much more to say

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

The needle and the damage done by hands you cannot see

It wasn't me

It wasn't me

I'm staring at the ceiling while the blood begins to flee

It wasn't me

Outro

Forgive the mess

Forgive the mess

They staged the scene

They kept it clean

I'm gone

I'm gone

I'm gone

(It wasn't me)

(It wasn't me)
