Victorious - Panic! At the Disco

I hear 'em talk to me, but they're not listening Their words are kerosene They don't know who I am, they'd never understand What it's like to be me I don't wanna be here, so stuck inside Tell me, how long have I been here? I'm losing track of time In all this loneliness and all this emptiness Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Can't change this overnight, though Heaven knows I tried Here I go again I need a savior now, someone to break me out Who's been the place I've been Don't wanna be forgotten when I'm dead and gone I just wanna be the one who got up and came back strong High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Help me 'cause I'm falling when I can't sleep But I'm holding on, can't face this night alone In all this loneliness and all this emptiness Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence I'm not gonna stay, tell me there's a way High above it all (above it all) Victorious, victorious Far too long I've grown (far too long) In hopelessness, I'm over it Don't give up on me (don't give up on me) Tell me you believe (tell me you believe) I can't face it all (face it all) Victorious, victorious Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

The thought that I could ever again fall in love without false stuff Fade away or I'll remember you I wish that I could go back in time Skip the part where I fell in love Just another stranger passing Oh, I find myself lying I know this can't be right A million different pieces inside Victorious You know I like to chase my luck Victorious I'm never gonna live a life Victorious Any sound outside And cars driving by I really tried with this thing in my eye I don't wanna go to bed right now I wish that I could go back in time And skip the part where I fell in love Just another stranger passing Victorious You know I like to chase my luck Victorious I'm never gonna live a life Victorious Been Pushing Daisies wasting time Victorious I finally can say goodbye Victorious Blow kisses catch them in the sky Victorious Victorious You know I like to chase my luck Victorious I'm never gonna live a life Victorious Don't waste my time Victorious Victorious Victorious

He was the congregation's vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion's exaltation Then finding refuge is not enough She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go When they decided they would try and make it on their own Oh, memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Where'd you go? When July became December Their affection fought the cold But they couldn't quite remember What inspired them to go And it was beautifully depressing Like a street car named Desire They were fighting for their love that started growing tired Oh, memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Don't fade away When money lost momentum And the bills were piling high Then the smile had finally faded From the apple of their eye And they were young and independent And they thought they had it planned Should have known right from the start You can't predict the end Oh, memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Oh, memories Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Don't fade away

Just a dime store poet Keeping pace, talking his face blue Two dollar store tramps To get a glance, a new chance at you Walk past the dance floor It's always been a dear friend of mine Cuckolds and concubines Dancing in four-four time "Hey mister!" the bellman says "I can only recall last's night hotel," I said So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage In love, I've always been a mercenary But I never leave my post when the cash runs out I want to make you quiver Make your backbone shiver Hey kid, take the stage and deliver "Hey mister!" the bellman says "I can only recall last night's hotel," I said So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage (Collateral damage, collateral damage) (Collateral damage, collateral-) "How does it feel to stand on the very stones That ran with your parent's blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings? Hiding your true self You're truly an extraordinary specimen I look forward to breaking you" I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage "Hey mister!" the bellman says "I can only recall last night's hotel," I said So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage "Hey mister!" the bellman says "I can only recall last night's hotel," I said (Hotel I said) So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
