Punishment Instructions

[Intro]
Raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up

[Verse 1]
There could be anything playing on that TV
And yet I’m still here trapped inside of my memories
Staring at the screen but nothing's going in instead, it’s festering
Count down the clock as I’m counting my sins
Take me apart as far as I go
Take all that’s known and discard it beyond this ozone
Take this cadaver and blather it to the masses
Gather up the ashes and scatter like nothing fucking matters

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling for your punishment instructions no more

[Chorus]
I can’t go on like this, I refuse to
I can’t go on likе this, it’s always bad news
I can’t go on like this, I refusе to
Time to raise these fingers up and start shouting "Fuck you!"

[Post-Chorus]
(Stop, throw down) Raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up

[Verse 2]
I can’t sit back and wait for the track to elapse
I state facts that counteract the attacks and it smacks
Into your false truth, acts that always fall through
Answers to your questions seem to keep us in the same loop of shame use

[Bridge]
(I can’t go on like this)
(I can’t go on like this) I’m growing sick of this
Man, it’s so goddamn ridiculous
Never inconspicuous, no delivered particulars
Common sense was never considered in your curriculum

[Chorus]
I can’t go on like this, I refuse to
I can’t go on like this, it’s always bad news
I can’t go on like this, I refuse to
Time to raise these fingers up and start shouting "Fuck you!"

[Post-Chorus]
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up

[Outro]
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
Stop, throw down, raise your fingers up
