Intro 00:58
It's all dead in the back of my head, and I don't care anymore!

Think straight and try to avoid you, I'm done with hearing your bad news. These nights are so much shorter with you gone I'm fine with these situations, these fights cause complications. It's always like this, from dusk to dawn. I'm falling, I'm falling farther from you and I'm starting my life off brand new I'm happier when the skies are blue, leaving me and you. Of course you want things your way. I never get to have a say. I'm sick and tired of these lies you run. Sure thing I'll pack up for you, you'll leave and I'll be gone too. I'm not your witness, for what you've done. I'm falling, I'm falling farther from you and I'm starting my life off brand new I'm happier when the skies are blue, leaving me and you. Me and you! I'm falling, I'm falling farther from you and I'm starting my life off brand new I'm happier when the skies are blue, leaving me and you.

Your brown eyes remind me why I'm so torn up on the inside I can't believe you had me fucked from the start, far before I gave up. Do you hear me when you're sleeping, yelling from the top of my lungs. Nothing matters anymore than the fact that you keep living a normal life. I recall from the town that I'm from, where you told me it was you and I. No regrets, nothing to look back to, 'cause now we're wasting our lives. Her brown eyes remind me why I'm so fucked up on the inside. You had me think that we had something special, 'til I noticed it was all a lie. I recall from the town that I'm from, where you told me it was you and I. No regrets, no nothing to look back to, 'cause now you're wasting our lives.

Just tell it to go away for now. I think I'll be okay. What's wrong with my mind, it's all just in my head. I just need to turn it off, and start it back up again. I think I'll pass away, once morning comes around, leaving behind, this house. What's wrong with my mind, it's all just in my head. I just need to turn it off, and start it back up again. What's wrong with my thoughts, it's like I'm always dead. I just need to turn them off, and start them back up again.

Stupid 03:00
You see it's obviously all my fault I just wanted you to know that I was wrong It's harder when you keep on telling me That I've gone too far It's meaningless to just keep fixing things when all you want is just to see them fall These are the days that, we keep on fighting, and you keep me writing, all of these depressing songs you don't understand that I hope and I pray now for you just to shut up stop giving me shit for what I've done I'm so stupid, I've dragged this on and I know that I'll regret this but I'm not done, with telling you that I'm angry and that you're fucked up, so now I'll sit back and enjoy the fact that you'll tell me to grow up. I've won, and I'm happier for once you're gone, and now I feel so dumb this contradicts everything that I say but that's just 'cause you looked away These are the moments where we keep on trying to stop all the lying despite all that we have done do me a favor sooner or later get me out of your head 'cause I will not be back home I'm so stupid, I've dragged this on and I know that I'll regret this but I'm not done, with telling you that I'm angry and that you're fucked up, so now I'll sit back and enjoy the fact that you'll tell me to grow up. Grow up.

I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. So here it starts, from phase one, things didn't roll the way that we thought, but we've tried, every excuse. Tried to work our way out of this mess. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. The weak ones, are always picked last. They don't know what it's like to be strong. Failure comes, to be learned from when will you ever learn? I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. Something's telling me, Something's telling me, that something is going very wrong. Let it go! I just need you to get out of my own head. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame. I need you out of my picture, I need you, out of my picture frame.

Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror once in awhile, to remember who you once were, to recollect every single thought of, of why your past is such a blur. We will know when we've got to keep moving on. Hope will grow in a place that we call our hearts. Don't look back anymore, there's no reason to live a life that only brings you down. In the ash of the fire that keeps on, burning in my heart, is a reason to keep moving on. Just try not to be so conceited, or your luck will soon run out. We will know when we've got to keep moving on. Hope will grow in a place that we call our hearts. Don't look back anymore, there's no reason to live a life that only brings you down. Don't turn your back on me. Hope is only, just a seed. Let it grow where there's no more hope, and let our dreams run free.
