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
