[Verse 1]
This is where I broke my wrist
Where I thought I could fly
Thinking I was Superman
So you know you can't cry
Cause I wanted to be just like them
And save my city from crime
I wanted to be just like them, just like them, just like, them

Please give me a reason to believe all the lies
'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
Abusing their authority to proselytize
But nothing they report to me could change my mind
I need a vacation from the way things have been
Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live? Mm
Live my life

And the wheels go round and round
And the headlights shining fade in, fade out
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns
And the cigarette burns, burns, burns
I don't care, cause I'm wasted
I don't care, cause I'm wasted
And the road goes up in smoke
So I paint a picture in my head where I'm supposed to go

If you gave me only one wish
I wouldn't want to feel this way
They told me I'd have your memory
But all I want is you to stay
And I cant stop my mind from haunting me
It's like a scar on a butterfly's wing
I wanted you to know

Weren't you just so fortunate
But you moved out on your own
Thought that things would come easier
But you can't always get what you want

When the world gets a little bit colder
And the sky gets a little bit dark
The drugs you were taking won't fix you

When I was fifteen, in my parent's house
I met a good girl when school got out
And I was too scared to tell her how
I loved her still, I loved her still, I loved her still
Well we grew up and we both moved out
We went to, different schools in different towns
And is it, too late for me to tell you now
I love you still, I love you still, I love you still

[Verse 1]
I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head
And we spent holidays at my house
And we left presents in a stocking
And we bought bolts and things and strings
And a new watch, that's what he got

I'm sorry that I did this, the blood is on my hands
I stare at my reflection, I don't know who I am
Practice my confession in case I take the stand
I'll say I learned my lesson, I'll be a better man
I'm packing up my things and I'm wiping down the walls
I'm rinsing off my clothes and I'm walking through the halls
I did it all for her, so I felt nothing at all
I don't know what she'll say, so I'll ask her when she calls

Well, I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil, sat by his side
I said, "Tell me what you think"
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level

I took a journey to the lowest place on earth
Got a shovel and I dug into the dirt
Put an apple and some water in my back – pack
Well, I don’t know if I will ever take it back – track
Black’s the only color I could see
Then my hand just disappeared in front of me
And when I finally hit a piece of solid stone
Began to wonder if I’ll ever make it home

This night is cold in the kingdom
I can feel you fade away
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slippin' through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please

He's three drinks down and he's driving fast
He's calling her up but she took a cab
Back to their one room apartment
Back to where it all started
Walking up to the door way
Walking in just to realize
She was long gone before he got there

I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday

Took all the sheets off my bed

Then I tied up my linen

With five strips of ribbon I found

Outrunning karma that boy
He's such a charmer all the
Bugs and their larva follow
Him out to Colorado

Ten dozen hearts in a bag
Their bodies lying he'll drag
Them down to Colorado

[Verse 1]
A paper crown, and a heart made of glass
A tattered gown, and her kingdom of ash
She walks alone, can never look back
The story of a queen whose castle has fallen to the sea
She’ll make it out, but she’s never the same
She’s lookin’ down, at the scars that remain
But you hold your ground, though your kingdoms in flames

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart, with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away
There's nothing left to say
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now cause he leaving

Booked a trip to Texas, thought I'd start again
Switched all my addresses and ghosted all my friends
Thought I could escape what I could not transcend
Found myself back in the same old place again
Everywhere I go, my shadow, it follows behind
Doesn't matter where I travel, my shadow, it finds me
Somethin' that I've come to realize after all this time
I can't escape my shadow, I can't escape my shadow

I know the Bible isn't perfect
'Cause it left one person out
There was Adam, there was Eve
And there was someone else around
Yeah, I think his name was Steve
And he was passing through town
When he heard a snake a-whispering
To Adam in the garden

[Verse 1]
It was 6:48, I was walking home
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
But then came trouble
When my mom walked into the living room

I'm slowly learning
That the things you promised me
Are burning like the embers
Of a thousand willow trees, and

Every single secret
Has been broadcast like TV
Now all the threads are severed

It's been seventeen days since you left
Twenty hours and thirty minutes
Count the seconds every breath
And watch the road roll out like ribbon
And maybe she just can't forget
All the miles they have driven
Since the moment that they met

Verse

She told me that she loved me by the water fountain

She told me that she loved me and she didn' t love him

And that was really lovely cause it was innocent

She's on her way to work, her heart is wearing thin
The tattoos leave a mark from everywhere she's been
Cause she's never in one place, she takes it on the chin
Now tears are welling up and they are rushing down her skin
While she's pushing trough the door, she hides behind a grin
But no one really knows how sad she feels within
Oh, oh
Life goes on, put a sad song on

Everybody has to get older
Even Jenny
She's just nineteen, young and naive
She wants to find a way to be endless
Fight the science, in defiance, and be timeless

Silly little girl who tried to live forever, to live forever
Gave away her soul to buy a bit of pleasure, oh, the bitter pleasure

She told me that she loved me by the water fountain
She told me that she loved me and she didn't love him
And that was really lovely 'cause it was innocent
But now she's got a cup with something else in it
It's getting kind of blurry at a quarter-past-ten
And he was in a hurry to be touching her skin
She's feeling kind of dirty when she's dancing with him
Forgetting what she told me by the water fountain
