[Verse 1: Corey Taylor] Pulling the cold on top, waiting for light and sound to stop Deeper and deeper today, further and further I fade away Let me ignore the cause. special effects for common laws I'm ready for numb… I'm ready for numb… What have I become? If the demons take me, I just want to be damned for good When the spirit makes me, I will die like a good man should [Chorus: Corey Taylor] I was only 18 when I finally let go Picking at the dead like a raven on the road I will never understand if I never get told Living in the dark like a raven on the road [Verse 2: Corey Taylor] Digging with pale white hands, keeping the calm and tasting sand Doing a favor today. telling a friend to stay away I can afford the cost. i don't care for what I've lost I'm ready for numb… i'm ready for numb… When do I become? If the angels take me, they're going to need extra time When the spirit mocks me, I'll know I only took what's mine [Chorus] I was only 25 when I finally went home Looking for a ride like a murder on the road I will only understand when you leave me alone Dying in the dark like a murder on the road Like a murder on the road You're never too young to remember you're old Looking for a deal like the devil on the road I will only understand when I finally get told Waiting for the dark like the devil on the road Like the devil on the road [x3]
