He says “I’ll take the fall
To get away from it all”
No matter how long it’s been since
He says he knows a guy
Who’s been arrested three times
In a different faraway province
And they will run and run and run
Away from the cops
He says “I know what I’m doing”
With a strange half-grin
As he jumps over the fence
This guy’s trouble I know
And on his face it will show
But I’m out of all options
And he climbs and he climbs and he says
“Hey man how high can you jump?”
He gets high with his friends and his heart is stopping to pump
He says I can’t go on
Can you help yourself, I give up
If there’s a shortage, he stops working
Cause his brain only runs on circuits
He keeps on shouting his own opinion
He doesn’t know that nobody’s listening

It’s raining and you’re on the couch
And you’re watching the rainfall from north to the south
You can’t go outside no you’d rather stay dry so
You play with emotions of people online and it
Just works out
Barely even checks out
It’s raining and I’m at my house
And i’m watching this rainfall from all of these clouds
I’m playing a board game just here by myself and I’m
Boring so I sit here and doubt myself and it’s
In the form of songs
I will never ever sing along
And when I
Drop off tomorrow
Sing me a song
And when I
Drop myself off
Give me a ride

See the picture
Hear their words
Tell me, how do you feel
And I think I feel even worse
But I can’t fix it now I’ve got a life to live so
Please move along with your day
I hate to standoff in between you all but
There is no more fulfilling way
Well I am shook as much as you are
And I cannot explain
Why this man telling me to do these things
That would obviously cause me pain
Cause I am not that person anymore
Frankly, I never was
But If I ever dare think I could
Figure it out, I’ve got another thing coming to us
She said to try to explain to them
I said it's “not worth the use”
I can’t just break out of this prison cell
Or they’d all know i’m loose
And I have tried I have tried I have tried in the past and it
Didn’t go so well
They’d just throw me back into this maximum security

I was pretty clear
Time to go make some real friends
However long I can last
But it’ll get easier
This is my last conversation here
So basically, you ruined my life
I’ve had information leaked
And I’m losing interest in all real things
And all my real friends
Who I can hang out with
And it sucks
For weeks I’ve felt like this
I’ve spent all my time with you, so
I’m fixing the damage
And I understand
But this is the internet
And I can’t show my love
The way I know I can
The way I know you guys
The way my face just acts
And I want to break out of this state
Of fucking sadness that I’ve been in
Feeling like I’ve taken my one shot
& threw it directly into the garbage
Tell them I’m just taking a break
And I’m not forever leaving
I’ll make some money while I can
I can, I can, I can
We’ll talk when we get the chance
If you have one last question
Now would be the time
But for now, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
I won’t let myself
Watch as you
Throw yourself in front of a train
I can’t watch you
Leave me cause I need you
More than I need everything

We don’t care
For your facts
It’s sickening
To us
We’re safe here
To watch you
Run around
Lab mice
Con Doctor
Your symphony’s
A circus fire
For us all to see
Tricks up your sleeve
Looks like our greed
Shows again
I’ll be here to repent

The second time was better but it got worse from there
After the people needing something and ingenuine care
We'd walk around at midnight in the suburban dark
We took the life to the music and you sang the wrong parts
Last autumn was a mess and I needed to wash up
Cause I was needing faith in all of this after the screw ups
And all the guys love football but I’m not in a team
Because your parents caught you smoking weed at last halloween
Well I'm stuck with this picture, Out of luck
And nothing seems to phase me
All of my friends will give me up
When they decide to save me
But I have this memory of a night
When I got this tattoo lately
Who gave me, Who gave me,
This shit is driving me crazy
I think I know you buddy, you deserve a commend
He laughed and said "you're crazy, I'm just tying up loose ends"
A stupid joke thrown over landed on some dude’s head
He took it for an insult and a threat to his men
We watched ourselves walk in circles as we tried to pretend
We weren’t just losers at a gas station at 2:10 AM
And then you took the deck and flipped it gain again
I ruined my life when I got the courage to go hit send

My face is plugged with genocide
and I just try to look away
From angry mobs
The People watching you all day
The generation knows whats wrong
But we just sit here and complain
I’ll Eat the rich
And stab the poor
Most people never look away
So when’d the music die
And when’d we drown it all away
I’m not a saint, I am a fraud
I’m looking for a better life
But all I find
Is flat out lies
I guess this is the best I got
I guess I’ll see this life
As the moment when the music died

Perhaps all I see
Is life before my eyes
Take your fantasy
Shove it to the side
Make some memories
Lest you forget more
Try out what we see
Life is far too short
Take all of me
Even if it kills me
