I thought I had myself all figured out But I spent my whole life holding myself down And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly Addicted to the pain I cause myself My head is floating somewhere in the clouds While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd They sing my songs and feel my pain Cause pain is what creates my fame A vicious cycle some day I'll get out I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on It's hard enough try walking in my shoes, To be picked on by my peers who much abuse And I'm tired of not fitting in true friends is my final wish Just let me be myself and make it through. I have tried so hard to be a better soul I have worked so hard at making myself whole And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear Just trust me when I say I'm in control I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in I believe I'm just like you I believe I'll make it through It's hard to see at times like this But I'm not giving in, but I'm not giving in And all I need is a microphone I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far On my way with a smile on my face See the top and I'm not falling off And all I need is a microphone, I'll sing About the things that have been hurting me It's safe to say, all the kids, I relate To their lives so just keep holding on

I'm thinking of a place where I could notice How I've disappeared I watched you build structures on the free range But it's not real I asked if we could go up to the countryside Where I could feel time Cause when the function Shuffles away from me I'll start to see definitive colors flooding in In me I started to feel me leaving town I'm falling down I wanted to be with me again I'm calling out And what did I see when the landscape blurred This sound surrounds me And it took too long to realize I want you around me I'm watching all the pieces spin around And you're just a sound That I'm taking with me It's trailing off in every song And you're ringing out too loud Cause when the morning breaks apart the night I'll fall asleep inside a different kind of light I started to feel me leaving town I'm falling down I wanted to be with me again I'm calling out And what did I see when the landscape burned This sound surrounds me And it took too long to realize I want you around me
