If it's fast and loud
Will your heart pump blood like you've never taken a breath?
If its faster and louder
Will the head rush throw you like an arrow into the pit?
If blood and murder, death and fire are words to heal the soul
Why do I feel like its all been done before?
Well the stacks are pushing air
The head banging boys are swinging their hair
I'm still in my seat
The bands' on fire but I just wanna leave
Going through the motions
When you can't tap into the flow
Here I am
Falling asleep at the metal show
If the singer screams
Will you move your body and shake your vocal chords?
If he hands you the mic will you roar those lyrics
Until you can't anymore?
If you know the words and you know the rhythms and the notes that make you feel
Why can't I get up and mosh for the real deal?
Well the stacks are pushing air
The head banging boys are swinging their hair
I'm still in my seat
The bands' on fire but I just wanna leave
Going through the motions
When you can't tap into the flow
Here I am
Falling asleep at the metal show
So they'll be choking the river with their dead
And playing with the ace of spades
I'm trying so hard not to close my eyes
And slip on a pair of shades
Well the stacks are pushing air
The head banging boys are swinging their hair
I'm still in my seat
The bands' on fire but I just wanna leave
Going through the motions
When you can't tap into the flow
Here I am
Falling asleep
Here I am
Falling asleep
Here I am
Falling asleep at the metal show

Cupcake

I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
Such a treat has never made it to my plate
I would read about them in the local paper
But they always dissipate to the mouths of popular demand
And a caramel chocolate delight seemed so bland
In the face of what I cant have
Oh yeah, it’s driving me mad
I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I've been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
They’re always running out before I get to the bakery
Wondering if I’ll ever get to taste something savory
I’ve been waiting all my life
I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I don’t know what put me in this state
I see a sugar shack on every corner
But they’re on back order and they don’t know when they’ll have them in again
And a caramel chocolate delight seems so bland
In the face of what I can’t have
Oh yeah, it’s driving me mad
I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I've been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
They’re always running out before I get to the bakery
Wondering if I’ll ever get to taste something savory
I’ve been waiting all my life
I tried to make do with a creme brûlée
Candy bars and brittles left me hurting for days
You can go tell the dentist he can take all my teeth
I need that little bit of frosting with some sweet underneath
I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I've been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I’ve been waiting all my life to have a cupcake
I've been waiting all my life
And they're always running out before I get to the bakery
Wondering if I’ll ever get to taste something savory
Waiting all my life to have a cupcake
Waiting all my life to have a cupcake
Oh they’re always running out before I get to the bakery
Wondering if I’ll ever get to taste something savory
I’ve been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
Still waiting
I've been waiting all my life
