Omen

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me-me-me-me-me
I need it, what′d you, what'd you-
Me-me, I, back
Me-me-me-me-me
I need it, what′d you, what'd you
Me-me, I, back-
Go!
I'm still trapped, I-I-can′t work, I′m
I'm still trapped, I-I-can′t work, I'm
I′m still trapped, I-I-can't work, I′m
I'm still trapped, I-I-I-I

What'd you take from me? I need it back
Put the orb back in my head
All you people want me dead
Can′t ever succumb again

To what they think or feel or need
Sinking deep into the sheets
It′s what I want, not what I see
Still so hard to fall asleep

Cut my lungs
Omen, let me run dry
It weighs too much
I'm not alright

I′m still trapped, I-I-can't work, I′m
I'm still trapped, I-I-can′t work, I'm
Took some action, bad idea-dea
I'm still, I′m still, I′m still

I'm still trapped, I-I-can′t work, I'm
I′m still trapped, I-I-can't work, I′m
I'm still trapped, I-I-can't
Dea-dea-dеa-dea

I can′t talk
I-I can′t even think
I'm telling you I can′t do this
Why won't you believe me?

What′d you
What'd you write inside my burning tomb?
Where′d the first and fifth page go?
Do you intend to cast with those?
Conflagrate our only hope
Just end me while you've got a shot
Or I'll give you fucking hell, you know I mean it
Heed my warning, chanting mortar shells

Stay with me
Hold me close as I die
Stay with me
I′m not alright

Stay with me
Hold me close as I die




Stay with me
I′m not alright
