[spoiler][Verse 1] I used to like the mornings I’d survived another night
I’d walk to breakfast through the garden
See the flowers stretching in the sunlight Now I wake up in the mornings
And all the kindness is drained out of me
I spend hours just wincing
And trying to regain some sense of peace [Chorus] If only I could sustain my anger Feel it grow stronger and stronger It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin Shakes off the weight of my sins And takes me to heaven [Verse 2] I stay up late every night Out of some general protest But with no one to tell you to come to bed It’s not really a contest Maybe you think I’ll learn from my mistake But not this time It’s just gonna break me [Chorus] If only I could sustain my anger Feel it grow stronger and stronger It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin Shakes off the weight of my sins And takes me to heaven [Bridge] And if I’ve lost you for good Could it have been any other way? Was the water filling up for years Or did I wreck it all in a day? I’m going to bed now I’ve sunk into my sorrows And it’ll take three hundred million dollars To get me up tomorrow I won’t go down with the ship I will put my hands up and surrender There will be no more flags above my door I have lost, and always will be [Breakdown] It was an expensive mistake It was an expensive mistake My horse broke his back to get me here I have his blood on my hands for no reason But what was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to know how to use a tube amp? How was I supposed to know how to drive a van? How was I supposed to know how to ride a bike without hurting myself? How was I supposed to know how to make dinner for myself? How was I supposed to know how to hold a job? How was I supposed to remember to grab my backpack after I set it down to play basketball? How was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and — why not — Sunday? How was I supposed to know how steer this ship? How the hell was I supposed to steer this ship? It was an expensive mistake You can’t say you’re sorry and it’s over I was given a body that is falling apart My house is falling apart And I was given a mind that can't control itself And I was given a ship that can't steer itself And what about the pain I’m in right now? And what about a vacation? And what about a vacation to feel good? My horse broke his back and left me here How was I supposed to know? And God won’t forgive me And you won’t forgive me Not unless I open up my heart And how am I supposed to do that When I go to this same room every night And sleep in the same bed every night? The same -blam!-ing bed Red comforter with the white stripes And the yellow ceiling light makes me feel like I’m dying This sea is too familiar How many nights have I drowned here? How many times have I drowned? [Chorus] I give up [Verse 3] Let us take you back to where we came in We were united, an undivided nation We got divided, it was something inside us And it was not us We were so naive, we were just like animals Told what to believe by the beasts who took control We wanted control too, but that was normal Cause our life was one of survival The decisions we've made, if you can call it deciding With your life on the line, it'd be social suicide to change your mind So we got mad and we split the scene Now we download all of our shit for free It's the new economy, we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash [Chorus] I give up [Verse 4] Let us take you back to where you came in A man clinging to the cliff of revelation So scared of what he would find, he started crying "It was not me" Stopped at the borderline they stripped his disguise So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize It was about death It didn't help He saw himself in it And he was disturbed at the conclusions it led to But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too And so though he made fun of us, he has now become one of us [Chorus] I give up I give up I give up I give up I give up [Outro] And you wake up trembling From a dream where I swam into the river I reach out and hold you in my arms I love you, I love you, I love you [/spoiler]

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope You won't find heart and soul in the stars You can break everything down to chemicals But you can't explain a love like ours

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Jimmy filling out paperwork now At the facility on East 12th Street He's not listening to a word now He's in his own world and he's day dreaming He'd rather be doing something else now Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly His life's on the line with anxiety now And she had enough and he had plenty

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm busting up my brains for the words Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be Make me baby, make me know you really care Make me jump into the air Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head

You're a liar but I'm a coward so I can't throw a stone We're so imperfect but so worth it because we're not alone It's the wars that we wage, the lives that we take for better or for worse It's the lion we cage, the love and the rage that keeps us wanting more

Turning in circles Still in a hurry I’ll always worry ‘Bout everything growing too fast Growing out of my hands Losing my head Cause I’m always running I’m always longing To be someone I’ll never be Someone I couldn’t be.

(Hello) I pulled the window up and looked into the sky to say (How are you?) Alone between these walls, there's no one but me (Morning) And here the daylight is, covered up with pouring rain (Tick tock) Would someone please come by and wind me up today? (Hello) I know from old cartoons, characters like that exist (How are you?) Beloved by everyone while I'm here so out of place (Sleeping) No matter what my heart will tell me I've gotta come back to today (Crying) So I can raise my hand, wipe my tears away "Oh whatever" is the mantra I live for And though I didn't understand it when you said it, I was floored "Look, I'm sorry but I'm through, I've got no expectations of you" I admit it, I feel the same way 'Cause nothing else is working, I can barely make it day to day But what made you think that'd be alright to say? Fumbling, stuttering, the words that I still fight to say Fantasy, reality I run from everyday Once again I couldn't talk, another set of words I've lost I'm stumbling through everything, trying to live my life Tell me why you run away and keep it all inside Tell me are you just afraid of letting free your mind Tell me if you don't want anybody to meet you Tell me is that the truth? So deep within the waters of the ocean called "indifference" The pain is filling up my lungs and I can barely breath And in the end, I have the urge to hear a person speak I am so very weak I settle into pain as if I'm moving onto nothing My head is feeling heavy and my heart is slowly sinking "Could there be a reason now for me to go and settled down?" Sorry, sorry, I know that it's selfish I'm sure that I can do it, I'll simply muscle through it So with that said, would you please let me on my way? A happy face of growing pains, it really doesn't seem to change The sun will glow and brush my soul, for better or for worse If I've tried my very best and there nothing of me left What good could you do? What do you want from me? Tell me, why is it your feeling so defeated Tell me, do you really want to be completed Tell me, who was it that let your hand fall to your side? Tell me can you decide? If my life is really going to end before I know Then when can I begin to live, and learn to let it go? I'm slowly coming to my limit, so where's my pay For staying living this way? (Thank you) I really want to thank you for all you've done (Thank you) I really want to thank you for all you've done (Thank you) and even if I only can say this once Despite whatever's going on, inside of me I'm trying so, I really need to open up and thank you Tell me why you run away and keep it all inside Tell me are you just afraid of letting free your mind Tell me 'casue I promise to take you seriously So, just come talk to me Tell me every bit of what your feeling, let it go 'Cause if you keep it locked away, then I can never know All the thoughts inside your head, I want to hear every one Let your heart come undone
