I'm sorry I can still feel your eyes on me For fog in my brain torturing But I'm on top of everything oh Wheeled away but not so insincere Tried to stay but nobody wants me here Give up Give up How dare I think I was bold enough Get in my face I don't feel so tough But it's not enough no it's never enough Once was a source of gleaming To catch yourselves from leaning Always an endless gleaming Tired of always dreaming

Don't miss me I'm not stupid Mindlessly lost and useless Think thoughts that never mean a thing To anyone I see You spend a lifetime leaving I'm not worthwhile deceiving It's hard to drop a crush but when its me it's more than easy Please It's obvious to me That I'm not what you need I take pride in the life I'm leading So few times it's not worth reading For the thousandth time It's enough to try An escape to a town worth dreaming of But you'll spend a lifetime leaving Searching for a greater meaning Every town's the same Don't try to pass the blame To a pile of walls and ceilings I felt so alive Don't tell me I don't get to feel that feeling one last time I I know tonight I'll feel alright I'll make myself put up a better fight

Red bird hanging overhead A community left for dead A shining light in a cloudy place Always left with a smiling face Taught me how to come alive Living on the mountainside Now there's nothing but memories Fuzzy thoughts and faded dreams Don't think it's all for nothing now The world will return it somehow Don't leave us all just over it but We always knew it could come to this

When in doubt, don't put a gun to my head Because you don't want to know what I've been thinkin A younger man the best I can is just narrow-minded Between the posts I am a ghost don't try to find it Two extremes, don't wanna know what it means You have dreams, but their lights always shining A bigger town, another round is just what's expected Another hole filled by the mole we re-elected I feel too great to admit I might have made a mistake I told you straight, you might have to leave here while I wait Don't pretend you know exactly how the story ends Hard not to say some dumb shit like 'I miss my friends' A narrow window a bottle to throw off the lining Another can to crack a fan of my poor timing I feel too great to admit I might have made a mistake I told you straight, you might have to leave here while I wait So down today can't feel the way I used to be okay It's not a problem friends fall you help em thanks ben you're welcome
