Am I crazy If I’m not sure what to think anymore? I’m the wreckage of a mental war Am I hopeless If my hope is in uncharted lands? Cuz my hope is to hold your hand Tried to ask my conscience how it felt about this No answer, so I’m pretty sure my conscience quit And judging by the silence that I get from logic I wonder if it’s best if I just not to bother it Take a bow, exit stage Illusion... I prayed But maybe that was my first mistake I did it for your sake with everything at stake Long nights, wide awake as if the night before a wake In the wake of a feeling that I hope isn’t fake Give me a break, I’ve got confusion like a leveled-up Butterfree Which makes it really hard to see you standing right in front of me But apparitions tend to fade and I can tell it’s getting late I prayed, but maybe that was my first mistake Trying to convince myself this feeling is a lie Trying to convince myself this feeling shouldn’t die Take a bow, exit stage Were you an illusion? Cuz I’m not down for darker days Hear me out, I’m drowning down now Take a bow, exit stage Were you an illusion? Cuz I’m not down for darker days Hear me out, I’m drowning in confusion I’ll hold on tight, and maybe this will come to an end Take a bow, exit stage Were you an illusion? Cuz I’m not down for darker days Hear me out; I’m drowning down now Take a bow, exit stage Were you an illusion? Cuz I’m not down for darker days Hear me out, I’m drowning in confusion Hear me out

I saw you there I saw your glowing face Saw the sirens in your hair Heard the bullets in your pace And I've been changed by the burning and her stains I'm too scared to stay in place And I'm too strong to stick around and hear your name I bet you know you look so cool with that smile on It draws them all to you, it makes them proud of who you've become You know the words to make them sing along They think that's always you, 'cuz they're not there when you turn it off So here's my empathy For your debauchery I used to be as good as you at faking purity We're all the same 'cuz everybody's wrong I gotta say, I feel so fake with this smile on Behind unsteady eyes At least you care enough to make a nice disguise I wonder what you think Maybe you'll tell the truth after your seventh drink I'll make sure you don't know When I'm feeling useless, abandoned, and terrified 'Cuz it just never made much sense to you And it'll never make much sense to you Up here all alone So you can have time to prepare every single lie Because I never meant a thing to you And I will never mean a thing to you (Nothing to you) They talk around it and assume I'm fine But I can't verbalize enslaved emotions you left behind Flew to the moon and did it all alone I'll melt this love I had so I can fuel my way back home And now I'm just like you I'll fuel the darker parts of me that no one knew To see the life I'd choose Between a moral vanity and moral truth Behind unsteady eyes At least I care enough to make a nice disguise I wonder what you think Maybe you'll tell the truth after your seventh drink I'll make sure you don't know When I'm feeling useless, abandoned, and terrified 'Cuz it just never made much sense to you And it'll never make much sense to you Up here all alone So you can have time to prepare every single lie Because I never meant a thing to you And I will never mean a thing to you Don't waste your breath, your life's the one you wanna save Just paint the scars a different color so they call you brave I'll make sure you don't know When I'm feeling useless, abandoned, and terrified 'Cuz it just never made much sense to you And it'll never make much sense to you Up here all alone So you can have time to prepare every single lie Because I never meant a thing to you And I will never mean a thing to you Apology, how sweet the sound Comet crashing down Tell me now, do you feel a bit defeated? I'm just as lost as I am found Can you hear me now? I can't pick you from a crowd, do you feel cheated? I'm just a kid kicking rocks on the sidewalk I could have sworn I walked away with guilt enough for both of us Months pass, hours pass, you finally show your face I don't want to speak I just want you to leave but I'm still stuck with something to say

Is it safe to say That I haven't made too much of an impression? Well, anyway I built you a palace in my mind that I can't speak into existence So you'll never know, but No worries, it's cool I'm melting all over. I'll try not to get it on you Your hair looks amazing; nice weather we're facing I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess Never know what you are thinking of And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head Set me back, and reverse everything I said Never know what I am thinking of It's safe to say That I'm overthinking to the point of nonsense Just yesterday You said "hey" and used my name, and clearly that must mean something Or maybe I'm just daydreaming and nothing never means nothing, oh gosh This stain on my ego is really quite painful to wash Your heart makes me smile; I'll stay here a while I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess Never know what you are thinking of And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head Set me back, and reverse everything I said Never know what I am thinking of If I said what's going on in my brain Would you freak, fight or flight it? If I read your thoughts like right off a page Would I try to rewrite it? I'm a freak I'm an awkward little dude, in a weird mood Always second-guessing, although here I am confessing And I never should have said anything that day we met Yeah, I'm upset but I wouldn't fret if we just never speak again (seriously, don't talk to me.) And I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess Never know what you are thinking of And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head Set me back, and reverse everything I said Never know what I am thinking of

Exiting atmosphere Far away from all your fears Just like you wanted Notice the planet as it’s Starting to lose its grip From the window of your little spaceship Among the moon and sun and stars You’re the introvert with the giant question mark Take my hand We’ll show this place just how to dance, I’ll Take this chance To prove to you the true romance right now This is not the ending you expected, Let’s be honest, here You were supposed to turn at the last second Surprise everyone as you walk right in there Either that, or you would sit here And you’d write a song So proud of how you were different Both those guesses were quite wrong, so Take my hand We’ll show this place just how to dance, I’ll Take this chance To prove to you the true romance right now Take my hand We’ll show this place just how to dance, I’ll Take this chance To prove to you the true romance right now Why would you hip-hop When you can rock and roll? I’d rather lose myself Than lose my soul (Don’t step out of the light ‘Cuz you’re on fire tonight And don’t step out of my sight ‘Cuz you’re on fire tonight) ((Am I malfunctioning? I think there’s something wrong with me now)) Let’s turn this thing around Find your way back towards the ground Notice: your heart’s changed Notice the gravity that’s Starting to pull you back Feels just like a heart-attack Among the clouds and sun and sky You’re the chosen one, with the wide, bright eyes, so Take my hand We’ll show this place just how to dance, I’ll Take this chance To prove to you the true romance right now Take my hand We’ll show this place just how to dance, I’ll Take this chance To prove to you the true romance right now Right now

Does everything end With a tragedy somehow? Well, I'm starting to feel done with it Everyone's looking my way But the person they see Isn't the person I know I am Can't say I'm surprised I know I have what it takes I'm getting stronger every time It's all crashing down on me But the ruin it leaves Creates a path I never knew I could climb It's building all around But I won't let this break me Between the sky and ground And everything they see Tornado raging now But I'll stand in the center And I believe in life Because you believe in me And it's not your fault These consequences that burden us, 'cuz After all, this world is screwed up I'll carve my way with love 'Cuz it's the only tool I've got It's the only one that's lasted this long Had to learn a lot Before I saw an end I could defend, befriend the battles I fought Whether I thought it or not, you saw the value in me I'm not a casualty and you are not the witness Back from the dead, guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree I'll carve my way with love 'cuz it's the only tool I need And when I make it home, I'll find the light of love that you bleed It's building all around But I won't let this break me Between the sky and ground And everything they see Tornado raging now But I'll stand in the center And I believe in life Because you believe in me I'm not so desperate I'll get so far over this Oh my God, this is it I'm always home, wherever I go It's building all around But I won't let this break me Between the sky and ground And everything they see Tornado raging now But I'll stand in the center And I believe in life Because you believe in me
