Keeping my thoughts under wraps tonight
Keeping my feelings to myself
I'm already broken hearted
So let's get this party started
The darkness comes with you
With longing and desire
Your anger burns inside your eyes
They flash like burning coal
Get out your head, get out your head
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world
Blackout
All the hurt you nurse inside
You better cough it up
Beautiful like shards of glass
In your throat that cut you up
Get out your head, get out your head
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world
Blackout
That was such a wicked thing to say
That was such a spiteful thing to do
You smiled as the words spew right out your mouth
So I laugh in your face right back at you
Oh-whoah
There's no reward for men who weep
No medals given out
But better be the one who speaks
Than be the man who won't
(You, and you, and you, and you)
Get out your head, get out your head
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world Blackout
We all blackout
We all blackout
We all blackout
We all blackout
Keeping my feelings to myself
I'm already broken hearted
So let's get this party started
With longing and desire
Your anger burns inside your eyes
They flash like burning coal
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world
Blackout
You better cough it up
Beautiful like shards of glass
In your throat that cut you up
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world
Blackout
That was such a spiteful thing to do
You smiled as the words spew right out your mouth
So I laugh in your face right back at you
Oh-whoah
No medals given out
But better be the one who speaks
Than be the man who won't
(You, and you, and you, and you)
Try not to think, be cool, be calm, be fake
Dumb yourself down, numb yourself out
Fake it till you make it, break with the world Blackout
We all blackout
We all blackout
We all blackout

These lyrics remind me of "Full Metal Jacket": the person is getting prepared, not for a war, but for living in this cruel world where showing emotions will get you hurt.Even if he/she realizes that these emotions are what makes us human ("Beautiful like shards of glass") they are trying to suppress them to fit in the society
