In an interview with Rock Sound, Whibley said that “13 Voices” was inspired by watching Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino movies with no sound.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Where do I begin? 'Cause my story's still untold
Left to be unwritten like memories to unfold
And I don't believe the truth, it doesn't make me feel alive
The truth's just overrated, we've all got something to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause lies make it so much fun
So sing the praise of insincerity
Make this your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head
[Verse 2]
Pay me no more mind, have I really come undone?
I left the world this evening just to kill the sun
And I've got no more to bleed, all that's left will soon be gone
Especially before my mind fades like the stars at dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I bet you got a lot to say
So have it your way and crucify me
Make this your your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head
[Post-Chorus]
Breathless kiss to end all this, I fall, I say goodbye to all
Close my eyes, oh, sweet demise, a love that no one understands
[Bridge]
And I don't believe in redemption
And no one will be spared
There's 32 ways you can die here tonight
It's a fucking family affair
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint, no use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame, life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will, put a bullet in his head
