I'm talking to the mirror again, but it's not listening
I'm cleaning my dirty mind like a toilet, but it won't give in
I'm drinking spirits in the hopes that I will find myself one
All I can rectify is that the party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Mm
Party con ti (party con-, party con-)
I feel like falling asleep and never waking up
It's not that my glass is empty, but I need another cup
When all of the doors around me just shut one by, one by one (one by one)
I feel like falling asleep, but the party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Begun, begun
Begun, begun
Shaky, shaky steps in the middle of the day (shake, shake, shake)
A fire in my path and a cool decay
A limb, a tooth under my skin
Oh, freedom, where do I begin? (Where do I begin?)
I'm changing my inflection and how I say the words
Maybe it'll sound like something they've never heard (oh)
Oh, a death of a party
I picked up the chalice of malice (oh)
And drank 'til I was full
I drank 'til I was full, I was thirsty
But I drank 'til I was full
I drank 'til I, 'til I, 'til I was full
There's a fever in my bones that I know so well
I keep my head low, low, low to avoid the swell
But it'll be cold in hell, it'll be cold in hell
Before they put me in that chamber
So I'm cleaning up as fast as I can (cleaning up as fast as I can)
I'm cleaning up as fast as I can (cleaning, cleaning fast as I can)
'Cause you can't unbreak what you break (can't unbreak)
You cannot fake the very fake (what you break)
You cannot fuel without a tank (cannot fake)
No, you can't unbreak what you break (unbreak)
What you break (fake)
Party's just begun, party's just begun (party)
Party's just begun (party), party's just begun (can't fight it)
Party's just begun (at the party), party's just begun (let's go to party)
Party's just begun (party), party's just begun (let's go to party)
Party's just begun (party), party's just begun (party)
Party's just begun (party), party's just begun (can't stop the party)
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
Party's just begun, party's just begun
