[Verse 1] They line up neat On the screen Pretty little rows Meaner than they seem One more zero Then a fall A tiny harmless mark Can take it all [Pre-Chorus] Tick, tick Hands get cold Count it wrong And you lose control Look too long You feel the ache Numbers don’t lie But they can break [Chorus] Numbers can kill Numbers can kill One wrong count And you stand so still Numbers can kill Numbers can kill Say it out loud Numbers can kill [Verse 2] Rent due Tuesday Light gone black Red on red And there’s no way back Names in a list Bones in a stack One small change Then the whole world cracks Paper cuts deep Debt gets loud Everybody bows To the printed crowd [Pre-Chorus] Tick, tick Hands get cold Count it wrong And you lose control Look too long You feel the ache Numbers don’t lie But they can break [Chorus] Numbers can kill Numbers can kill One wrong count And you stand so still Numbers can kill Numbers can kill Say it out loud Numbers can kill [Bridge] Add it up Watch it bloom One little line Fills the room One for the king One for the grave A digit can drag A heart away [Final Chorus] Numbers can kill Numbers can kill One wrong count And you stand so still Numbers can kill Numbers can kill Say it out loud Numbers can kill
