[Intro] [Verse] White-knuckled, Blinding hot, Oh, A serenade, Cannot cut, The molten magma, Bubbling up, The ohmage cranked way down, The volts rip through, Amps burning up, Oh, oh, Oh oh! [Chorus] The nerves are shot dead! Irritations from failed commitments, Convoluted instigation, Old fear, New anger, Oh, Ignored the chance to let it out, So now it eats, Now it eats, Now it eats at my guts! [Breakdown] [Verse] Lost control, Forgotten humility, Oh, Swollen ego, Pressed by unenlightened misery, The target locks, Where? I don't know, First to step on my toes, Oh, oh oh... [Chorus] The nerves are shot dead! Irritations from failed commitments, Convoluted instigation, Old fear, New anger, Oh, Ignored the chance to let it out, So now it eats, Now it eats, Now it eats at my guts! [Instrumental Coda]
