LYRICS:
Dare me to jump off of this Jersey bridge
I'll bet you've never had a Friday night like this
Keep it up, keep it up, let's raise our hands
I take a look up at the sky and I see
Red for the cancer, red for the wealthy
Red for the drink that's mixed with suicide
Everything red
Please won't you push me for the last time
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing I don't want this anymore
The thought of you is no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough were done
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
The thing I think I love will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen, you make me sick
I make it worse by drinking late
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing I don't want to anymore
The thought of you is no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough were done
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
And if the bass shakes the earth underground
We'll start a new revolution now
Hail Mary, forgive me
Blood for blood, hearts beating
Come at me, now this is war
(Fuck with this new beat)
Now, terror begins inside a bloodless vein
I was just a product of the street youth rage
Born in this world without a voice or say
Caught in the spokes with an abandoned brain
I know you well but this ain't a game
Blow the smoke in diamond shape
Dying is a gift, so close your eyes and rest in peace
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
Imagine living like a king someday
A single night without a ghost in the walls
We are the shadows screaming take us now
We'd rather die than live to rust on the ground

I was serving in the Navy when this song came out. Majority of our boat team it not all of us were punk rockers and metal heads. One day while chasing a drug boat, we blasted this song through the speaker system of our small boat. Something about blasting this song while chasing a boat in the Middle East just brings a tear to my eye.

I'll be completely honest. I discovered this band thanks to Kellin Quinn's involvement with a certain game. Better late than never, this is genuinely great stuff. New fan
-
I feel like not a lot of people know this, but the girl whose ass got slapped by the creepy ass bank manager at the beginning, is Vic’s girlfriend and has been for seven years after they first met from her little role in this video :)

Moral lesson: Plot a robbery if your boss makes you work overtime

I used to sing this song with my brother that past away 5 months ago, he use to show me different song but this song was different on our relationship as brothers, I remember that day we record a video and we sing it together, best day of my life tbh, I wish he was here 😞💔
