[Intro]
You got a death wish
You got a death wish

[Verse 1]
You've got that young James Dean look in your eyes
There's nothin' you can do to disguise it
You got a death wish
You got a death wish
And it's got my attention
I feel like this is an intervention
You got a death wish
You got a death wish
You wear your scars like trophies
Like proof you were alive
Every bridge you cross is burning
But you never look behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants a warning sign
Knowing where to draw a line
But some of us were born to chase
The edge of the world every time

[Chorus]
And I'm so sick of hearin'
hearin' the question
When are you gonna grow up and stop messin' around?
Stop messing around
But I'm still sittin here and I've made my confession
I'd rather burn out than be let down
Cause what do you stand for?
If you don't stand for nothin'
If you've got nothin to stand for
You won't die for somethin'
You got a death wish
You got a death wish

[Verse 2]
Maybe you could make it make sense
I guess I'm not too far gone yet
It's not a death wish
It's not a death wish
I never knew I had a way with words
But somehow I always seem to make it worse
And I'm stuck in the same mess
I'm stuck in the same mess
Everybody says they're searching
Everybody wants the truth
But when it finally finds them
They've got nothin' left to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we're addicted to the fall
Maybe we're afraid to have it all
Maybe every dream worth chasing
Has a the writing on the wall

[Bridge]
And if you won't die for somethin'
Then you better run, run, run, run
If you won't die for somethin'
Then you better run, run, run
The screaming getting louder
The walls are closing in
Everybody wants salvation
Nobody wants the sin
If you won't die for somethin'
Then you better run

[Outro]
You got a death wish
You got a death wish
Maybe it's a reason
Maybe it's a curse
And we're all just trying
To decide what's worse
You got a death wish
You got a death wish
