[Verse 1]
Into the woods
To go and cut down an oak tree
Pick something good
Something I know will hold me
Better than you
Better than poetry
Into the woods, into the
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Would I live the metaphors I write?
"Happiness is a choice that you make", yeah right
"People would kill for the spotlight"
Well, they can use my knife
 
[Chorus]
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
Goodbye, won't you let me rest in peace?
Maybe I would finally feel like me
In a suit of arbor1
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
My life was an actor preparing
It's time for the role that's made for me
It's time to play the martyr
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It's time to play the martyr
 
[Verse 2]
Into the weeds
Don't I make a great addition?
Now you see me
But remember, I'm a magician2
 
[Pre-Chorus]
People would kill to be in this position
People would kill
Well, they can use my knife
 
[Chorus]
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
Goodbye, won't you let me rest in peace?
Maybe I would finally feel like me
In a suit of arbor
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
My life was an actor preparing
It's time for the role that's made for me
It's time to play the martyr
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It's time to play the martyr
 
[Chorus]
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
Goodbye, won't you let me rest in peace?
Maybe I would finally feel like me
In a suit of arbor
Good night, I just need my beauty sleep
My life was an actor preparing
It's time for the role that's made for me
It's time to play the martyr
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
It's time to play the martyr
 
  • 1. A play on the phrase "suit of armor", referring here to a wooden casket
  • 2. Play on a classic magician's phrase, "Now you see me, now you don't." Also a subtle reference to the band's term for its fans: "magicians".
