I just can't help myself. I'm losing either way. Because I haven't even left this place.
It's been such a long time coming, I forgot what I want to say. Remind me please. Please remind me. Remind me.
Tap me on the shoulder or yell into my ear.
Complacency reaches out and grabs me by the neck. It cuts off all my breathing and then breaks my legs.
Leaves me crawling on injured hands and shattered knees. I don’t think I’ll make it out in time . Save me please. Please save me. Save me.
It wasn't meant to be like this. Dreading opening my eyes. Like rainy winter Monday's spent dreaming of the warm sunshine. I can almost feel the sunlight on my face.
This is my exit. Open up the door, but first I'll turn around and say goodbye.

Spent some time. Spent such a long time in your head. I gotta say it's really quite a mess.
Brain scan shows there’s no original thought left. I won't lie that’s just what I’d expect.
Turn off. Turn on. What will you decide? First up. Then down. Please make up your mind
Or someone will make it up for you.
I’m so tired. Tired of that same old song and dance. Different, like everybody else.
Last I checked, uniqueness is a trait best left to those of us who know how we want to live.
Turn off. Turn on. What will you decide? First up. Then down. Please make up your mind.
I'm gonna make it up for you.
A long time ago you used to be the face of individuality. Then something changed. Now you lead such a boring life (and death), no in-between. If you ask me, I prefer to spend my days swimming up stream, fighting tooth and nail for all that I believe.
It’s getting lonely here, and I’m not used to it. The sound of my own voice makes me sick.
The one thing that I’ve learned from all of this, it’s that the same things that once held us up so high eventually bring us down.

Bluest eyes, piercing through the darkest night. Indigo sheet of algebraic sky. Jet marked x's and star crossed y's. At last I solved the hardest problem of all time.
Streetlight cast your shadow, as far as I can see
Underneath this fluorescent moon is where I want to be.
I can't explain what it is that makes my heart speak to my brain. If I could, it would probably just come out like I'm insane. "Call the doctor." "Put him away!"
Champagne hair, windswept by the autumn air. Hard to think, those years went by in just a blink. Feel the chill running up and down my spine. At last I solved the hardest problem of all time.
Streetlight cast your shadow, as far as I can see
Underneath this fluorescent moon is where I need to be.
I can't explain what it is that makes my heart speak to my brain. If I could, it would probably just come out like I'm insane. "Call the doctor." "Put him away!"
What a wild ride it has been. Now would you take my hand and never let go again. Never let it go. Again. Never let it go.

Can’t find words anymore. They used to fall right from my mouth.
Can't fake a smile anymore. You've got me figured out.
Sometimes I wish I could just throw it all away
My life is like some cruel joke, and the punch line is me.
This rescued me from everything. Thank you for that.
“Nevermind", that I’m "out of step" and "out of time", it’s all I’ve got.
If you need anything, you need anything from me
you’ll have to help me with picking up every piece
of my life that’s left shattered on the floor.
Sweep them underneath the rug, or what is this all for?
This rescued me from everything. Thank you for that.
“Nevermind", that I’m "out of step" and "out of time", it’s all I’ve got.
This rescued me from everything. Thank you for that.
“Let it be”, “your arsenal" is done “breaking things”, give it all you've got.
Sometimes, I wish I could just lock myself away with the sounds of sweet salvation playing on repeat. Sometimes.
