It all started when you Left me for dead now I've been a wreck and Momma told me daddy ain't gonna be back And she told me I'm the man now I guess I'm the man now, think I need a plan now Must've been nothing but a jit, buck teeth Cut like a bowl So that you know I started from the bottom Fighting all the way up, up I never wanna go back down Update, I felt great for a minute straight Call my shrink and tell him I made a mistake If only I could delete all the pain And upload all the things I wanted to be Bled from my lip, bit down on it Feel the pain and a taste so metallic Soulless, I learned to live without it But I'ma make it out of this, so count on it It all started when I It all started when I It all started when I It all started when I Cut the black blood from your tongue like Lavinia No more lies, no not a one, I wasn't your favorite son If only I could forget, if only I could delete If only, if only I could delete my memory I still would not upload everything you wanted me to be No truly, I'm happy you're deceased I don't want nothing I want everything I want everything I want everything You left me for dead All that died was my innocence It all started when you Left me for dead, now I've been a wreck and Momma told me daddy won't be coming back Bled from my lip, bit down on it Feel the pain and a taste so metallic

There you go, there you stay Keeping low never wanna play Wandering far, disappearing Feet stuck in place, not moving You've been up and down down You've been low low low Troubled sea so deep, troubled home no sleep You've been flying so high Avoiding the road Pretending to not feel alone Pretending to not feel alone Where to fly? Who knows Winds rapidly, blow From branch to branch you go When you see the sun different let it glow Don't shun it all don't let it fall From your hands how you used to crawl You're walking tall, no need to hide Behind the clouds in the sky You've been up and down down You've been low low low Troubled sea so deep, troubled home no sleep You've been flying so high Avoiding the road Pretending to not feel alone Pretending to not feel alone Vagabond is you, ran the mile no shoes If the sun goes down too soon Embrace the starry eyed moon Vagabond is you, swam the sea at the darkest blue You made it, made it through You made it, made it through ohh You've been up and down down You've been low low low Troubled sea so deep, troubled home no sleep You've been flying so high Avoiding the road Pretending to not feel alone Pretending to not feel alone

Black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine! A lot of people underground You wanna get there You gonna go straight down Straight down There's a culture everywhere Smoke clouds hang in the air It's so loud, can't hear you talk You and I should take a walk downtown Straight down Downtown Straight down The argument over God continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground All of us stand and point our fingers Woah, straight down, woah Red-letter day, black heart It's gonna tear you all apart It's so loud, can't hear you call You and I are gonna fall straight down Straight down Downtown Straight down Down, down The argument over God continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground The agument over all continues In this house All of us stand and point our fingers Woah, straight down Woah, straight down Woah straight down Down, down Black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine A lot of people underground You wanna get there You gotta go straight down Where the wine is all red and fingernails paint in black The argument over God continues All of us stand and point our fingers At the ground (The argument over God continues) black fingernails, red wine I wanna make you all mine (All of us stand and point our fingers) a lot of people underground You wanna get there You gonna go straight down (all of us stand and point) You gonna go straight down

How these times have changed us How they make us question why When we're born and bred And taught we need to be led Just to keep us paralysed But if it's all just some kind of illusion Then to what do we owe this life? And when the skies collapse upon us all Will our worst fears be allayed Or justified?

When we were young and indifferent, we could not have known This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own I know it hurts It hurts me too, just to watch you sinking I can't help thinking Was there something holding you back? Was the weight of the world on your back So long, you're sick of the gravity? Is there someone telling you no? Do you wander with nowhere to go? What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? We are the victims just like our parents taught us to be Roots planted firmly, but we fell so far from the tree And still we cling to the past with an iron grip As we all fall fast asleep Dreaming of security The chance to redefine The years we've wasted Living on borrowed time My will is spent I used the very last drop Trying to keep my head on straight enough I know it hurts It hurts to feel it all slip right past you I just want to ask you Was there something holding you back? Have you had to cover your tracks So long, you lost your identity? Is there something dragging you down? Crippled under the weight of the crown What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I'm reaching out please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? For all of our differences I always said I'd be there if you should come undone It took all I had in me Do you even care? Do you even want me there? Do you even want me there? There are ghosts in every window And they'll follow you back home But if you stay a moment I can tell you all I know Of how these times have changed us How they bring us to our knees How they send us down the crooked path Divide us temporarily I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? I said I'm sorry, I swear I'll do better I never thought we'd have to carry this weight together This is contagion, a plague that I bear And it kills me to say that I really need you here

Can't you see I'm not your enemy? Oh, what did we lose in the wreck? What once held us together Will only hold us back I know the doubt in your eye What do we do when the well runs dry? Maybe our fear and our faith Are just two edges of the same blade So cut the bullshit The lines that we drew If this is all you want from me Then what am I to you? Crush my spirit, use me for parts We should have seen this coming from the start The night forgives, and the day forgets We paint ourselves in our past regrets So why's it all come down to your plan? I can't be anything more than I am I can't be what you see in your head Do you know what you've put me through? So come on and break me Just to make me feel something You know, I know that you hate me This endless eye for an eye Will only send us blind Has it occurred to you that we're out of time? This house is hostile (this house is hostile) There are ghosts inside the walls At night they scratch at my door And rattle the chains that we place on what we can't control The night forgives, and the day forgets We paint ourselves in our past regrets Every hour draws us nearer To the very thing we dread Oh, what did we lose in the wreck? What brought us here together Will only send us back Call me a fake, call me a liar Hold me accountable, blame me for everything Tear me apart, make me a martyr Make me believe you hate me before you crown me king Crown me Crown me king

Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dead-set on living like tomorrow was to blame And through these holes you'd see the blackest soul inside of me One foot stuck in the past, one planted in my grave Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I'm torn between the remedies for everything Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight Dry mouth, taste it like a cut vein Blackout, it all ends the same So stay away, stay away Can you tell when I lie right through my teeth? No escape, no escape Like a chain, in a way we are all bound to our fate Don't let it bury me, me We call this therapy Running circles, old habits die hard Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways I'm torn between the remedies for everything Heavy hangs the air Heavy lies the beating heart Burden breeds remorse Black clouds hover low like a curse Like a curse Running circles, old habits die hard (running circles) Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far (never seemed to get too far) Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways (call me reckless) I'm torn between the remedies for everything (the remedies for everything) I'm torn between the remedies for everything I'm torn between the remedies for everything

This is a place I know too well Been down here a while, if you can't tell And I have analysed and tried my best to justify The sorrow I have brought upon myself Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I thought I had this, I thought I had this all figured out You'd think I'd learned from all the shit I fucking screamed about When there was sun I couldn't see for the clouds Still climbing the walls of this well just to dive back down Until I reached my rock bottom Down to the marrow, bringing up the bad blood I'd forgotten Is it me that's making me sick? Been burning both ends of the wick Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I've got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette Casting a shadow, a shade over me Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist Your worst impressions were right about me (Your worst impressions were right about me) (Your worst impressions were right) I could ask you to stay, if you're feeling forgiving I could live with the guilt, if you call this living I could try to memorize each grain of sand As it slips through my fingers, and falls from my hands It took me longer than I'd care to admit This life is only what I choose to make of it And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself Was this depression I held so close to my chest Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I'll always be? Grinding the salt into every wound? Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment? You can't trust me to be there for you I've got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette Casting a shadow, a shade over me Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist Your worst impressions were right about me Wasting a waning youth Waiting for something to help me pull through I never saw the sun through the clouds I lost faith when the skies were falling down
