This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Give Me a sign, you better pray for your getaway
Now give me a sign, I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
Everything you believed in, has gotten ripped away,
It’s time that you prepared for premonitions foreshadowing pain
But do you think, do you think they really care about signs,
When they stab you in your back themselves.
Don’t you think that they want you for their own cause.
I think that they need to
Give Me a sign, you better pray for your getaway
Now give me a sign , I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
Everything that you conceived has, now gotten torn away.
This time you did prepare for irrefutable compulsory shame.
But do you think do you really think they care about signs
When they stab you in the back themselves
Don’t you know that they want you for their own cause.
I think that they're all insane
Now I’m outside myself- 4x (build up)
Now I’m outside myself-2X (Heavy)
Now I’m outside myself- 4X (sing)
Give Me a sign, you better pray for your getaway
Now give me a sign , I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
We all live here in Pain
Disguising the way we're controlled
A mask to cover their face
Trying to make us their drones
Now I’m outside myself
Now give me a sign, I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
Everything you believed in, has gotten ripped away,
It’s time that you prepared for premonitions foreshadowing pain
But do you think, do you think they really care about signs,
When they stab you in your back themselves.
Don’t you think that they want you for their own cause.
I think that they need to
Give Me a sign, you better pray for your getaway
Now give me a sign , I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
Everything that you conceived has, now gotten torn away.
This time you did prepare for irrefutable compulsory shame.
But do you think do you really think they care about signs
When they stab you in the back themselves
Don’t you know that they want you for their own cause.
I think that they're all insane
Now I’m outside myself- 4x (build up)
Now I’m outside myself-2X (Heavy)
Now I’m outside myself- 4X (sing)
Give Me a sign, you better pray for your getaway
Now give me a sign , I distance myself from no-one
now I’m outside myself
We all live here in Pain
Disguising the way we're controlled
A mask to cover their face
Trying to make us their drones
Now I’m outside myself
