Black Coffee, Red Alert

[Verse 1] Another bland blue sky Another file of failed recruits They salute They shake They stutter I delete them Mute Then you walk in Shoes polished like a polished lie Eyes like you’ve already lost But you still try (interesting) [Pre-Chorus] You pour my drink Exactly how I think Measured Precise You don’t even blink You stand too straight You don't look away Who taught you To obey this way? [Chorus] Welcome to the edge of my design You’re a cog in the chaos in my mind You don’t know it yet But I just found my favorite pet Stone You fit perfect in my hand Like a weapon I don’t understand Not yet Not yet (oh, we’re gonna be dangerous) [Verse 2] You say “Doctor” Like a verdict Like a prayer Like a dare You catalogue my scars with silence Every twitch Every glitch You just stand there You hate me a little I can taste it in the air But you crave something sharper Than the life you wear [Pre-Chorus] You read my lips Every cruel little script Every threat Every test You never slip You swallow fear Like a pill with my name You think this is work This is the start of a game [Chorus] Welcome to the edge of my design You’re a cog in the chaos in my mind You don’t know it yet But I just found my favorite pet Stone You fit perfect in my hand Like a weapon I don’t understand Not yet Not yet (oh, we’re gonna be dangerous) [Bridge] Somewhere out there Something fast is running wrong Some little glitch in nature A streak that won’t belong And when I find that fracture I’ll tear the sky in two Guess who will be beside me Guess who will see it through [Breakdown] You bring the coffee I’ll bring the war (hey!) You hold the door I’ll burn the floor You think this is small? This is fate on call Doctor and assistant About to crush it all [Chorus] Welcome to the edge of my design You’re a cog in the chaos in my mind You don’t know it yet But I just found my favorite pet Stone You fit perfect in my hand Like a weapon I don’t understand Not yet Not yet (oh, we’re gonna be dangerous) [Outro] Another bland blue sky About to split in two Stone Take note of this moment The world has no idea What it just let us do
