And all I gotta do Hey, me or you Oh, all I want to know Who'd I do this for With just a touch of my burning hand Prime directive, exterminate And your face just drops in a pile of flesh Till it pumps in death

I'm letting go oh oh oh oh On the count of one, two, three I'll go ahead and cut the cord I've just gotta do it Maybe in the ruins I'll finally see the reason Can't change it, can't make this nightmare go away 'Cause I don't even sleep, I'm wide awake I
