lyrics

Look out I'm exploding in my head I had to break out now the windows are all busted
Open the door gotta face what's out there are you ready we need you to be there
Look up do you think it'll be the same look ahead in one year what have we gained
I'm still lost and you don't know my name but I guess that's the nature of this game

I wanna yell (I wanna yell I wanna yell but there's no breath in my lungs)
I would write (I wold write I would write if there were ink in my pen)
No going back (No going back no going back now the damage is donw)
This battles over (The battles over but the party has just begun)

If you play with fire you might get burned
Work hard if you wanna get ahead
But if you fall asleep with a gun in your mouth
You just might wake up with a bullet inside your head

I've got thoughts in my brain but my tongue is out of words
So here I'm gonna break down at the end of this song

Oh no hear we go what's wrong with me I speak again and again I just mispeak
What is this for are you trying to help me I wish you'd back off with all the questioning
Messed up why is all of this all so hard I wish in real life you could really just press restart
We're still lost we're still not eye to eye better count our losses and say goodbye

(repeat "I wanna yell..." and "If you play with fire...")

I've got thoughts in my brain but my tongue is out of words
So here I'm gonna break down right here right about now
