(Verse 1) I scrubbed the rust off, tried to shine so bright Polished all the edges, kept the dark from the light Said "yes sir," "no sir," swallowed every lie With a plastic smile for every last goodbye But the polish is cracking, the shine is all gone Just a hollowed-out echo of a dead and gone dawn (Chorus) So I'm done with the new me, I'm going back to the old No more giving a shit, no more doing what I'm told Yeah, the Devil keeps calling, and I'm tired of the banter So I'm letting him into this mother fucking disaster! Let the chaos begin, let the tethers be severed This sanitized life is officially severed! (Verse 2) I'm digging up the caskets I buried deep down The wild, the reckless, the king of this town Gonna dust off the cortez and the faded old jeans And all the beautiful, terrible, wicked daydreams There's a taste on my tongue, it's weed and spite And it feels more like home in the pale warning light (Chorus) 'Cause I'm done with the new me, I'm going back to the old No more giving a shit, no more doing what I'm told! Yeah, the Devil keeps calling, and I'm done with the banter So I'm letting him into this goddamn disaster! Let the chaos begin, let the tethers be severed This sanitized life is officially severed! (Bridge) They said "walk the straight line, keep your soul clean" But the straight line's a trap, a boring, slow machine And the Devil, he grins, he's been waiting so long He knows that a broken heart makes a powerful song So I'm not selling my soul, no, I'm claiming the deed It was always my madness, my hunger, my need! (Chorus) I'M DONE WITH THE NEW ME, I'M GOING BACK TO THE OLD! NO MORE GIVING A SHIT, NO MORE DOING WHAT I'M TOLD! THE DEVIL STOPPED CALLING, 'CAUSE I FINALLY ANSWERED! I'M LETTING HIM INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL DISASTER! LET THE CHAOS BEGIN, LET THE TETHERS BE SEVERED! THIS SANITIZED LIFE IS OFFICIALLY... SEVERED! (Outro) That's right... come on in. The water's fine... and it's burning. Yeah... it's burning.
