Counting hours one by one,
So long as you're having fun
While you're standing in line
Just waiting for your turn
I've forgotten my own name, was it loud or just mundane
Could you read it to me, is it easy to be learned
Won't you say it out loud?
Won't you say it out loud?
Won't you say it out loud?
Won't you say it out loud?
Say it out
This whole wide world got me tied down and strangled
I was stuck down in a hole, and I feel I was about to lose control
But you came down and got me untangled
Broken, beaten, tired, upset
And burnt like a cigarette
Was it lonely for you
Just waiting for your time?
Bending in and out of tune, and burst like a big balloon
Couldn't take anymore, no reason to the rhyme
I was chained to the floor
I was chained to the floor
I was chained to the floor
I was chained to the floor
Chained to the floor
This whole wide world got me tied down and strangled
I was stuck down in a hole, and I feel I was about to lose control
But you came down and got me untangled
My eyes were sore from staying conscious
Hands were paralyzed
My brain was brought back from its slumber
Salvaged from disguise
I was wearing down, I was wearing out,
I was wearing down beyond all doubt
