This is the next stage, we turn the page
We’re gonna wreck a place when we take the stage
Roll up your sleeves, get down with me
It’s going off in the pit like you wouldn’t believe
Let’s go all out to the promised land
Ingest contraband and begin to slam
This is life man, all we do is jam
We’ll make you feel like a child again and again
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
This is a dream from the rest of our team no one can intervene
Until the end of our days there is no in between
Picking up the pace, the chase, moving through outer space
Driven out by the fire that drives the human race
Because I’m a blank slate, love it or hate, this is our real estate
True fate, love it or hate, you’re on our real estate
Talking about the power, devoured each second, every hour
Talking about the break, you make, perfect mistake
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
All the wasted days and lonely haze
Went on and on and on and on and on
Left without a trace can’t be replaced
It’s gone it’s gone it’s gone it’s gone it’s gone
All the wasted days and lonely haze
Went on and on and on and on and on
Left without a trace can’t be replaced
It’s gone it’s gone it’s gone it’s gone it’s gone
It was a perfect mistake
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
Oh, see it in our eyes
Hold it in our hands
All those days that you wasted away
There was no one to blame
It’s a perfect mistake
