[Intro: Waylon Reavis]
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
[Verse 1: Jeffrey Nothing]
Push the colors from the make-up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough?
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give-up
I wanna see you get up
[Pre-Chorus: Waylon Reavis]
I said you're the only one!
I said
[Chorus: Jeffrey Nothing & Waylon Reavis]
What's your name?
Who do you love?
I wanna hate you, kill you, treat you
Like I've had enough
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who do you love? (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you, treat you
Like I've had enough
Gonna make you give up
[Post-Chorus: Waylon Reavis]
I said you're the only one
I said you’re the only one
I said you’re the only one
I said
[Verse 2: Waylon Reavis]
Breaking the shame
Take away, what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end in me
[Verse 1: Jeffrey Nothing]
Push the colors from the make-up
Drop your feelings at the door
Has anybody here had enough?
Walking in on so much more
Gonna make you give-up
I wanna see you get up
Come on people, get up!
[Chorus: Jeffrey Nothing & Waylon Reavis]
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who do you love? (Who do you love?)
I wanna hate you, kill you, treat you
Like I've had enough
[Bridge: Waylon Reavis]
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
The shadow within me
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival for me
[Outro: Waylon Reavis & Jeffery Northing]
(What's your name?)
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival, for me
(Who do you love?)
The shadow within me
The sorrow at my feet
Gonna lead the revival
No simple survival, for me
(What's your name?)
The shadow within me
(The shadow within me)
The sorrow at my feet
(The sorrow at my feet)
Gonna lead the revival
(Gonna lead the revival)
No simple survival, for me
(No simple survival, for me)
I said!
(Who do you love?)
Breaking the shame
Take away what I wanna say
Regretting the day
You don't believe in me
You don't believe in me
I'll show you just what you wanna see
The end, in me
