I thought I saw your face
But it was not your face
It was filled with rage
For a different place and I don't know your place
I thought I knew your heart
Before you made it mine
But now I find
My friends are assholes and so am I
So when you tell me to breathe
I won't give in or leave
Your soul turns black and you can't see
The light at the end of the stairway
I thought I knew your kind
But I don't know your kind
And sometimes I find
These Nazi fucks are a different kind
I thought I was your one
But now I'm no one
And before you rest
I must confess that they're no ones
Before you rest
I must confess that they're no ones
So when you tell me to leave
I won't give in and breathe
Your soul turns black and you can't see
The light dimming on the stairway
If I give up on my music dreams
I'll fall asleep laughing
And I'll wake up in the morning feeling great
Cause the birds will chirp cacophonies
And I will scream triumphantly
When hopelessness will never fucking fade
When feelings of inadequacy stay the same
When loneliness conspires with fear again
