Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes

Fallin' from the pressure in this habitat
You're sick of feelin' like the one these people laughin' at
They tell you happy is the goal, but it gets hard when you're alone
And what you give to make it out, you'll never have it back, yeah
And you would think if he can see that, he would change it, right?
But what identity is left if nothin' plagues his life
Retreats into his room and blast the music loud
It's like a trans-reality for the moment, that keeps him far away from daylight, daylight
Not know what it's like to feel
Like, why the fuck is there so much I gotta deal with
Just to stay right, stay right?
When everybody else is doin' fine on the factory settings
Then what am I, huh?

They're puttin' on the masks just to breathe slow
Hard to be accepted when you won't attend the freak show
So he slips into the comfort of the night
By himself, where he spent his whole life

Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight (Oh)
When all it does is strain my eyes

Welcome to the show, he's got nothin' to show for it
Dreams don't pay, you gotta go for it
Feelin' on top of the world, so steep he's barely breathin'
Higher that you get the harder you fall and that's repeatin'
Take a photo for all we used to know
The ghost of the past, all our love was lost
And maybe they'll never know

That I've been fallin' to the wayside
And I don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes

Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight (Daylight)
When all it does is strain my eyes (My eyes)

Fallin' to the wayside, I
Don't want you to waste your time
Lookin' for the daylight (Yeah)
When all it does is strain my eyes
Fallin' to the wayside, I (Daylight)
Don't want you to waste your time (My eyes)
Lookin' for the daylight
All it does is strain my eyes
