Lyrics:
Give me, give me, give me the truth now
I promise I can handle it if you can
Cause you've been running from yourself for way too long
So give me any reason not to cut you out
You're far too gone, yeah
Watch you pretending, you know it all,
Shift any blame outside
Vending the victim when it cells
How do you even sleep at night?
As I drive and drive
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you'd fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are, how full of shit you are
I really, really, really wanna know you
And not all the fifty fucking personalities inside your skull
If you'd stop trying to steal the spotlight and steal the show
Then maybe you would have a better chance at not dying alone
So I hit the road
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are
Now what are you to me
But a fly inside a web of lies you weave
You're not fooling anyone, not you, not me
So I wonder how you stay alive
When all I do is freeze
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are

[@heatherstokes613]

I think only Set It Off can make a line like 'how full of shit you are' sound so lovely.

[@angelina6398]

***** Exactly! They an take the worst thing and make it sound so calming by putting their own music over it and having Cody's vocals soothe down. Even when they are mean, they sometimes still show compassion. For instance, in The Haunting it goes "No one will love you like I did. No one will treat you like I did" but then its "One day you will find that picture perfect guy and ill change my words of poison" I was like "Aww how sweet. He apologizes for when he is proven wrong."

[@heatherstokes613]

angelina lastname I kind of feel bad saying this since you said such nice things about them but the lyrics are actually "I'll chase my words with poison".

[@angelina6398]

***** OOH!!!! Hahaha thanks. Its okay. I mean they also have Wolf in sheep's clothing, id rather drown, I think its arrogance, and kill the lights so I'm not too surprised. Just disappointed in myself for not noticing that.

[@heatherstokes613]

angelina lastname It happens to all of us. To be fair though, the only reason I know the lyrics is because I have a young niece that likes to listen to whatever I'm listening to so I always read through the lyrics to make sure her mom won't get mad if she listens to them. Unfortunately, she doesn't get to listen to much by Set It Off.

[@sleepingwithpanicatthedisc7740]

***** That's the best part in my opinion, they can have a bunch of swearing in their songs and still make it worth listening.

[@caitlyncole9150]

These guys are the only ones who can play a song meant to be amped up in acoustics, curse, get pumped up, and still sound angelic

Another thing, based on the songs that I've listened to from set it off, the lead singer is really good at enunciating, and making his lyrics easy to understand.

[@user-yt2th4lf1c]

Yea, and Cody's also .. really good looking.. I guess are the words I'll use, I don't want to sound weird.

[@xxcr-ativityxx9044]

It's not a Set It Off video if Cody doesn't throw his hands everywhere. xD I love this band.

[@indeyah8275]

Gosh I love his voice....

[@levygajeelmcgarden9615]

me too ^-^

[@KeyoniMcNair]

Yep, this totally has a different meaning vs the original version. Look how powerful music is. The same lyrics and two completely different tracks equal two different songs with two different meanings. That's just... amazing. Good job guys, I can't wait for the EP.

[@lulolie]

Fr the original sounds angry, like it's just a pure callout from someone who's been hurt too many times to give a second chance, whereas as the acoustic sounds like the song itself is the second chance, and they're lowkey pleading with the person to be honest with themselves before it's too much for both of them to handle. Like, the original has the vibe of someone who was cheated on and the acoustic has the vibe of someone who's in a relationship with someone who can't admit they have feelings for them because of external baggage.
