[Verse 1]
I peek my head outside and watch the cops kill all my neighbors' kids
I wonder if things would be different if their parents had been rich
I shut the door 'cause I don't want their blood to stain my clothes
And as the gun goes off, I'll say that I did everything I could
[Chorus]
But doomsday comes earlier every year
The sky opens up to swallow you and leave me here
When it's Armageddon, is it all forgiven?
I put my faith in the arms of doomsday
[Verse 2]
I watch my mother cry more than I have listened to her sing
I lie awake at night and think of all the horrors she has seen
I ask what good it is to be a person who believes
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be somebody who believes
[Chorus]
But doomsday comes earlier every year
The sky opens up to swallow you and leave me here
When it's Armageddon, is it all forgiven?
I put my faith in the arms of doomsday
[Bridge]
Is it something I can change?
Or is it blood I owe?
We're sick (We're sick)
And it's just something that I'll have to learn to live with
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you walk with me to the end?
I can't go by myself
[Chorus]
But doomsday comes earlier every year
The sky opens up to swallow you and leave me here
When it's Armageddon, is it all forgiven?
I put my faith in the arms of doomsday
