CHILDREN OF BODOM
"Platitudes And Barren Words"
(Alexi Laiho)

I'm broken, you're bent
I laugh while you repent
Threw punches never left a dent
Kick and scream you can feed the flame
Put out the fire it's all the same
Just either clock out or stake your claim

[Chorus:]
Come on, just lay it on the line
You're running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes 'cause your words are wearin' thin

I rush you stall
Here we go you're on a roll
Driving me right up the wall
Emotions left ripped at the seams
The game is over or so it seems
But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines

[Chorus:]
Come on, just lay it on the line
Cut me a break don't take your time
I'm up for laying down the swords
Just no more platitudes or barren words

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm filled to the brim
What's one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin?

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus:]
Come on, just lay it on the line
You're running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes 'cause your words are wearin' thin

[Post-Chorus:]
I'm filled to the brim
What's one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin?
