I killed off all my friends, now I'm lost again
The memories just make me sick till I forget
Years turn into waves, I fight, try my best to swim
I'm gonna figure all this out when I find land
From here, I swear the sun, it shines so bright
I try so hard to find the truth, but I never get it right
I'm giving up my name, let someone else believe
It's worth it if at least I fought and didn't die
Some days I love this town, for now I wanna leave
Sometimes you have to run just to survive
Tell me how it feels to know it's all another way
Of giving up by learning how to fall
Wait, soon you'll see, I told you,
Everyone's so happy you're here now
Blinded by the sun, I saw you,
Washed up on the shore, you asked me how
I waved at you from rooftops, yelling,
Please, illuminate me, I swear I'm here for good.
Yeah, I know how it feels to want
To be a part of something real...
Cover me in sky, let's see if I blend in
I hope you have the time of your life
What's the bigger lie, the ground or heaven?
I'm not so sure I care, as long as there's something
Who am I to say I'm alright?
The only things I want to scream
Are the ones I'm supposed to hide
There's no one here I know, I know, I know,
Who wants to hear a stranger sing how we all end up alone
No one ever tells you how to end a war
They simply ask what side you're on
It's easy being brave when nothing matters
I swear one day, I'm gonna
Prove all you bastards wrong
And, oh my God, I told you this would come
They set the world on fire, now I'm too afraid to jump
All those times I ran and ran and ran
Finally caught up with me,
Now I'm not so sure who I am
All I know to do now is lie here in my bed,
Imagining all the different ways to disappear
It's really not that bad, I'm just young and think too much
But seriously, I need to get out of here
