You're on your bed and lights grow low
You roll on to the ground
You try to sleep but your eyes won't shut
This room is full of sound
Well, I'm alright but if I'm here
You prob'ly should not be
And anyway, I cannot hear you
When you disagree with me
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And you don't even know who they are
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And they don't think that you'll make it far
Your shoes don't have no arch-support
Your face is growing long
How can you sleep when your friends are on
Your rooftop singing songs
When you lost your mind I found it out
And found it full of shame
But If I was you I would have lost it too
We're not the ones to blame
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And you don't even know who they are
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And they don't think that you'll make it far
Well, I'm alright but if I'm here
You prob'ly should not be
And anyway, I cannot hear you
When you disagree with me
When you lost your mind I found it out
And found it full of shame
But If I was you I would have lost it too
We're not the ones to blame (it's the same)
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And you don't even know who they are
Your friends don't even know what your name is
And they don't think that you'll make it far

Someone told me my name means “To die”
And someone told me they could fix my eyes
But they’re just lies, no more than lies
But I have learned to sleep all through the night
I just cut out my dreams of starting fights
For my delight; Now I’m alright
Oh, oh, oh...
You don’t look at me like I think you should
And you don’t think of us the way you would
if you understood my will is good
My heart tried to beat but skipped and choked
The thin-as-nothing blood runs through it's throat
Now I float and howl just like a ghost
Oh, oh, oh...
I don't want to be the one
Who's at the bottom in the end
It won't make sense if we're still one
Not if I'm the one who descends
I let another killer in our home
He said he meant no harm and walked alone
I was born a fool and have not grown
And I hate being alive here in between
The things I do and what I claim to believe
The words I speak and the things I mean
Oh, oh, oh...

If they made a strong enough drug
I’d be dealing
And if I pulled it off long enough
They would love me for my ways
And the things that I’d tell them
I’d pray it didn’t all fall apart
'Cause I’d be stealing
I’d be holding back for myself
All the things that they had lost
When they fell into my trap
Well, no one loves a man
Who doesn’t understand
The proper way to get the things he wants
I’ll try to run my plans
As smoothly as I can
So I don’t hurt the ones I dearly love
Or care about a little
Bits
Of me are missing
And I don’t know where about they went
But I’m still here
And I’m empty
Oh, oh, oh…

Daughters walking down the aisle
Fishes swimming in the Nile
We’re facing cameras so we smile
While we’re out-swimming crocodiles
I’m fine now that I’m not alone
We’re holding hands and skipping stones
And mining catacombs for gold
We’re locking eyes and breaking bones
Well I don’t want to spend my time with anybody
Other than the ones I’ve come to love
And I’m not gonna give my love to anybody
Other than the one I’m thinking of
My brother robbed a jewelry store
He wound up dead and on the floor
But dead is worse for poor for sure
So I don’t love him anymore
They’re drinking things that make them sick
They’re shouting things that make you tick
Well please get over it real quick
I’m not prepared to sit through this
Well I don’t want to spend my time with anybody
Other than the ones I’ve come to love
And I’m not gonna give my love to anybody
Other than the one I’m thinking of
