The bandroom's dark, but less so than nighttime
Been latching onto this like a lifeline
'Cuz I'd choose stage lights over the sunshine
Any day

Heartbeats and drumbeats
Banging heads and bouncing feet
Beaten, bruised, I'm all but weak
Choose your venue, hit repeat
It's all in my face now
The stage lights and the rough crowd
The voiceless feel like pure sound
I could scream but they'll still sing louder

The bandroom's dark, but less so than nighttime
Been latching onto this like a lifeline
'Cuz I'd choose stage lights over the sunshine
Any day

Lo and behold
Semi-charmed kids
Addicted to heartbreak
Afflicted within
Look out below
We come crashing in
This beautiful tragedy
Built on blood, sweat and sin

The rasp of my throat
I'm screaming again
Fingers intertwine
The strength of my kin
Light dance and float
Fill up my skin
It swallows me whole
Ears forever ring

The bandroom's dark, but less so than nighttime
Been latching onto this like a lifeline
'Cuz I'd choose stage lights over the sunshine
Any day
