The flowers never bloom There's no air in this room f The birds will never sing my ears begin to bleed The leaves begin to fall And I've missed all your calls its so hard to hold my tongue in my cage where i belong As I close my eyes and wait I still can't think straight And if time was on our side Think of all we can do If we didn't have to hide All the places we would go If all you did was show Me the right path home I've been dying to feel your skin I've been dying to feel anything You were my healthiest habit Beyond life and death When were both some one else We'll meet again

I’m burning at both ends The smoke gets in my eyes They said it would get easier They said it, but they lied Why are you so distant? Why are you so vain? I feel my body numbing At least there isn’t pain I'm living in a haze Waiting for the weather to change Life is so exhausting And I just want to sleep I finally found my place I know where I belong My home is the third rail Paying for what I did wrong to you Did I make you feel nervous Did I make you regret Did I really have purpose Or am I better off dead Born with depression Ever since I was aware The world seemed so foreign to me Like I've been sick Since the day of birth Living in another world Where I can live able and free I must've spent a decade... Giving more than I get I know I’ve been dying Since I’ve been alive I guess I'm just too proud Too proud to say I've lost But I guess since nothing's free This is our cost For a moment... I heard... myself talking in my sleep Fraying at the seams Leaving me undone I know I'm just a shellI But I used to be someone Did I make you feel nervous Did I make you regret Did I really have purpose Or am I better off dead Have you come to watch me break Have you come see me fray I don't I'll ever change I'm only here to fill up space I'm only here for your attention I'm only here to make you feel okay I'm only here for entertainment I'm only here to fill up space

When the lights go out on this town, I hope you'll stick around. I just wanna see you smile again like you did when we were kids; I just wanna see you smile again like you did when we were young and stupid, screaming for things that we never thought we'd reach. Now that we are here tell me where do you wanna be? Just stick around for this. 'Cause you're the only one that could talk me off a bridge at three AM when no one picks up the phone.

I've been tearing myself apart in every dream that I ever had, where you were happy again in our minivan across the Midwest, where the sun never set on us. Those friendly faces and kind words will never leave my head. I just wanna be a kid back when things weren't so complicated and love wasn't a temporary word, back when Mom and Dad didn't scream and fight and I didn't scream at night and you never left home. (It all got so complicated) And I still remember that night, it was pouring the rain and mom cried, and she said that she would never love you again. Tell me Dad, how do I look on the other side of the glass instead of the other side of the grass.
