My head is lead, I don't ever wanna go to bed.
Your hair is on fire.
You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor then you float away.
We got into a bad fight.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
My eyes and lungs.
I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues.
I know how you'll die.
Your sister groans "An usurper to the holy throne".
To me she's just a dead spy.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
I don't know what you feel like.
Ambushed on a road, stole your gold.
Your a rose and you're laughing now.
Everything that I owned starts to pile up like bones.
Make the walls of a prison.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
I don't ever wanna go to bed.
He sta***** up for the fight.
The champ goes down like a clown in the second round.
I wish we'd had a bed or goodbye.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Your hair is on fire.
You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor then you float away.
We got into a bad fight.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
My eyes and lungs.
I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues.
I know how you'll die.
Your sister groans "An usurper to the holy throne".
To me she's just a dead spy.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
I don't know what you feel like.
Ambushed on a road, stole your gold.
Your a rose and you're laughing now.
Everything that I owned starts to pile up like bones.
Make the walls of a prison.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
I don't ever wanna go to bed.
He sta***** up for the fight.
The champ goes down like a clown in the second round.
I wish we'd had a bed or goodbye.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Lie to all your friends.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed.

"later on the bed" sounds just like "laid her on the bed" (slept with or put her down on the bed)
"lie to all your friends" sounds like "lie do all your friends" (lie and do all your friends)
"My head is lead, I don't ever wanna go to bed.
Your hair is on fire.
You snuff the blaze, turn to vapor, then you float away.
We got into a bad fight."
The narrator's head is heavy because he just did something regrettable - hes having trouble sleeping.
The hair on fire could be a reference to blood mixed in with the hair that gives it an appearance of fire or just messed up hair (after a fight) that gives it the appearance of flames.
Snuffing the blaze I interpret as the girl in this song getting a taste of the fight, which is the metaphorical fire. When she "snuffs the blaze," or gets into the fight, she turns to vapor and floats away (dies).
Next, it says "we got into a bad fight" - the structure of these verses is almost backwards, so that the last verse of each stanza is a summary of the first few in many cases
"Laid her on the bed"
- He is laying her dead body on the bed
"My eyes are lungs.
I'm a prophet and I speak in tongues.
I know how you'll die."
- My eyes are lungs is some reference to the fact that he breathes or survives through his site...I'm not too sure what this means. The next line is reference to killing her again - "I know how you'll die" - which of course he knows because hes going to kill her.
"Your sister groans, "A usuper to the holy throne."
To me she's just a dead spy."
- This lyrics is masterful. The girl who the singer is going to kill's sister is saying that the singer is "a usurper to the holy throne." This means that the singer is unjustly taking power from the holy throne, God. He is playing God by killing her and deciding who is fit to live and die. The singer counters with "to me she's just a dead spy," meaning that he'll kill her too for getting involved in the relationship of the girl he kills.
Laid her on the bed.
Lie to all your friends.
-Pretty simply here. He's lying to all her friends about how he killed her.
"I don't know what you feel like.
Ambushed on a road, stole your gold.
You're a rose and you're laughing now."
- Not really sure what this means. It could be ambushing her on a road and stealing her gold is a metaphor for stealing her life, which is the gold - what is most precious to her. I don't get the rose reference.
"Everything that I own starts to pile up like bones.
Make the walls of a prison."
- All his possessions that remind him of this girl he kills are starting to metaphorically trap him in a prison of his actions.
"Laid her on the bed.
Laid her on the bed."
"I don't ever wanna go to bed.
He stayed up for the fight.
The champ goes down like a clown in the second round.
I wish we'd had a better goodbye."
- He doesn't want to go to bed because of the guilt he feels (and not wanting to sleep next to a dead body he has laid there). Now he is saying that he stayed up for the fight (not sure the use of 3rd person here..possibility using it to separate himself from the actions he just committed), killed her ("the champ goes down..."), and then wishes that that he and the girl he once loved had a better goodbye
"Lie to all your friends.
Laid her on the bed."
That's my take...it might not be right but let me know what you think.
youtube.com/…
100% without a doubt, it is "head is lead" and "later on the bed".
I hope this can eliminate any doubt.
and maybe I hear 'rungs' not 'lungs' idk, it's all so confusing.
also I'm pretty sure at the end it starts as '"you" lie to all your friends' - only the first time(last,... make sense?) sure it's probably filler, but it is also important, he's not just saying everyone go lie to your friends he's stating that 'you' lie to all your friends...singling you out and making sure you know he knows.
However, the more I listen to it, the more I think of different possibilities. I think it's about a couple who can't stand each other, and both willingly fight each other either physically/verbally every night before they go to bed. I think the lines "my head is lit. i don't ever wanna go to bed. your hair is on fire. you snuff the blaze, turn to vapor, then you float away," is about how they feed off of each other's rage. The lines "i'm a prophet, and i speak in tongues.
i know how you'll die." could infer that one of their fights went too far, and he "laid her on the bed" and then lied to all her friends about what happened.
Still not sure about this song, but it's one of my favorite from the album. Very interesting, I love it!
