I don’t want the placebo But if your game I’ll play Tell me what lighting to catch so I look good when I’ll be dead Oh yeah I’m blood and bone and I can play my role It doesn’t matter I know, we’ll do it anyway. I cannot see my shadow If you were to blow my candle out Give me my pain, then give me pain killers. Give me my pain. I don’t want that straight and narrow path you pave Fuck that I’m Looking for something to sends me straight to hell You call it losing control, baby I’m feeling alive It doesn’t matter I know, we do it anyway. I cannot see my shadow If you were to blow my candle out Give me my pain, then give me pain killers. Give me my pain. I can’t help but eat when I’m bored I got fat got lazy, my back is sore I guess I’ll fit right in Conventional wisdom says that it’s so much fun You can’t guarantee me anything with that sense urgency So I soak up as much as I can I know it doesn’t last forever I cannot see my shadow If you were to blow my candle out Give me my pain, then give me pain killers. Give me my pain.

Maybe if the stars aligned and I had the right signs I’d know what to do, where to go, who to be. It doesn’t work out that way, I can’t go but I can’t stay Let’s celebrate I’ll waste my time today (I fake it till I make it up) Far from flawless I know I told you I’m awful I told you I’m stained But I like it this way I’m afloat in a hole I don’t have a soul I don’t have a home But I like it this way You got a lot to say, exaggerate you authority but, I know you’re so much better than me in every single way I joined the losing team. It’s much more interesting But I think I’ll waste my time today (I fake it till I make it up) Far from flawless I know I told you I’m awful I told you I’m stained But I like it this way I’m afloat in a hole I don’t have a soul I don’t have a home But I like it this way Maybe if the stars aligned and I had the right signs I’d know what to do, where to go, who to be. It doesn’t work out that way, I can’t go but I can’t stay Let’s celebrate I’ll waste my time today Far from flawless I know I told you I’m awful I told you I’m stained But I like it this way I’m afloat in a hole I don’t have a soul I don’t have a home But I like it this way

They want me to raise my glass But I want to drink fast You see, the thing about me is I’m competitive just like my best friend We want to win Sometimes it don’t feel right to be alive I can take it I can fake it What choice do I have? I feel sick and crazy And I am but it’s alright This is how I sleep at night I cannot dress it up anymore But they want me to try But it’s not for me, it’s not for me, no it’s not for me You know that anything you want you’ve got it Don’t forget that you never have to ask me twice for anything It kills me, keeps repeating I’m over thinking myself crazy Sometimes it don’t feel right to be alive I can take it I can fake it What choice do I have? I feel sick and crazy And I am but it’s alright This is how I sleep at night You know that anything you want you’ve got it Don’t forget that you never have to ask me twice for anything It kills me, keeps repeating I’m over thinking myself crazy The awkward pause, in my eyes I was never sure, no If you heard me right You know that anything you want you’ve got it Don’t forget that you never have to ask me twice for anything It kills me, keeps repeating I’m over thinking myself crazy

I think it’s safe to say that it could be either one of us But these scars have torn Lucky you there is no light in your eyes I think I’m better off dead In my head I had so much love for everyone I use to have fun We could be lovers, we could be reckless We could just walk away to see what happens Oh but I know, It’s not fate No need to hurt me I know We could just walk away. Let’s just walk away. I like you face and the way you move so slow You were saving the day Lucky you there is no light in your eyes I think I’m better off dead In my head I had so much love for everyone I use to have fun We could be lovers, we could be reckless We could just walk away to see what happens Oh but I know, It’s not fate No need to hurt me I know We could just walk away. Let’s just walk away.

It never makes any sense I make my own Even if everything goes wrong I’m going to stick to my guns We all want something I want it all And if you got it let me know Because in my dreams I’ve already gotten everything I’ve ever wanted You can keep on waiting if you want I can fly You can keep on waiting if you want Give me my change please I’m in a hurry to leave Because in my dreams I’ve already gotten everything I’ve ever wanted You can keep on waiting if you want I can fly You can keep on waiting if you want Don’t try and convert me I couldn’t be any more pleased I look at the TV Don’t care what you say It never asked me to change I do it anyway Just ask all my best friends They’ll set you straight So don’t pretend were worthless, we do it on purpose Maybe in my revenge I, I will break your heart, Cause me and my best friends all Have a good head start Because in my dreams I’ve already gotten everything I’ve ever wanted You can keep on waiting if you want I can fly You can keep on waiting if you want

Such a profitable storm, manufactured enemy Thank god I’m back here at home where instability is king Portraits of war And it’s too late to change We are the whores And it keeps us awake You all know who we are, you know just what this is So do not take it personally, this is just business Ruining summer fun Turn on the eyes of light Just wait we’ll be there in the morning We are the wheels that spin Any minute now we will all be winning If you just want a ride and don’t mind the lies, then I think that you’ll find you in the right place You all know who we are, you know just what this is So do not take it personally, this is just business Ruining summer fun You don’t want to know what we did last night, pictures perfect They said the emperor was delusional upon the steps for all to see Let his reign begin, this opportunity open ‘til midnight every Sunday One good trick to play on you and me Long before yester day, or so it seems My last blank stare will soon be gone So put a smile on the old emperor You all know who we are, you know just what this is So do not take it personally, this is just business Turn on the eyes of light Just wait we’ll be there in the morning We are the wheels that spin Any minute now we will all be winning

The true saint is the most famous But we already got to know, got to know you We want your contracts to never expire We all, we want to see you naked it takes the pressure off of us You sold yourself to me you sold yourself to almost everybody Suspend your demise, protect your surprise, we won’t stop at anything We got to know, got to know you Tonight we set this off Tonight we stop at nothing at all You fill a void Sometimes I feel like your right here Tonight we set this off Tonight we stop at nothing at all My job is to take the pictures that make you hot I got my territories taste We just want another god that we can crucify The true saint is the most famous But we already got to know, got to know you We want your contracts to never expire We all, we want to see you naked it takes the pressure off of us You sold yourself to me you sold yourself to almost everybody Suspend your demise, protect your surprise, we won’t stop at anything We got to know, got to know you

(I should) Be somewhere But I don’t know just where to go Struggle to digest so turn off the lights By now were running away I guess that this is how were rocking ourselves to sleep tonight My father raised me, my fathers crazy I can’t let it go Belligerence don’t make a whole lot of sense to children but hey With all these things to be considered I think I should (go) If your life’s pathetic what’s that mean for mine? I’m bound to inherit my father’s demise No time to regret it because I’ve got his eyes Struggle to digest so turn off the lights By now were running away I guess that this is how were rocking ourselves to sleep tonight My father raised me, my Fathers crazy I can’t let it go Belligerence don’t make a whole lot of sense to children but hey With all these things to be considered I think I should (go)
