Welcome to the hellmouth

(Verse 1 - Spoken/Rapid) I’ve got a heavy head, a wooden heart, and a graveyard shift My counselor says I’m "gifted" but I’m feeling the drift Between the girl in the sweater and the girl with the blade I’m a shadow in the hallway, I’m a debt that’s unpaid. The Sun is going down and the anxiety climbs I’m checking my pulse, I’m checking the signs Of a world that’s bleeding into mine,Through the cracks in the gym floor Xander's the heart, My sister is the key, Willow is our plan B ​ (Pre-Chorus) (High-pitched, melodic synth) My friends don't know the weight of the sky I’m keeping it up while I’m wishing I could fly But the gravity’s heavy in Sunnydale tonight. ​ (Chorus) Stay awake, stay alive, stay inside the circle The Masters demons are painting it purple I’m the Chosen One, but I didn't choose the ghost In the machine of the one that I love the most. (Power chord hits) Angel is in my head! Spike is in my bed! I’m just trying to make it 'til the sunrise. ​ (Bridge - Slow, stripped back to a ukulele melody) Jyles says it’s prophecy. I can't get the dust off my skin and the blood is on my hands. I died once. I died twice. So, Welcome to the hellmouth. ​ (Outro) (Rapid drums, fading out) Angel are you in the Bronze. Spike are you in the crypt. Stick to the script. Death is my gift. Death is my gift.
