because it has to be so lonely

to be the only one who’s holy it’s just my humble opinion but it’s one that i believe in you don’t deserve a point of view if the only 2. thing you see is you you don’t have to believe me but the way the way i see it next time you Ignorance point a finger i might have to bend it back or break it break it off NEXT TIME YOU POINT A FINGER I’LL POINT YOU TO THE MIRROR this is the last second chance i’m half as good as it gets i’m on both sides of the fence without a hint of regret i’ll hold you to it. YOU TREAT ME JUST LIKE ANOTHER STRANGER WELL IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU SIR I GUESS I’LL GO i best be on my way out 3. Playing God She lives in a fairy tale somewhere too far for us to find forgotten the taste and smell of a world that She’s left behind it’s all about the exposure the lens i told Her the angles were all wrong now She’s ripping wings off of butterflies keep your feet on the ground when your head’s in the clouds GO GET YOUR SHOVEL and we’ll dig a deep hole TO BURY THE CASTLE so one day he found Her crying coiled up on the dirty ground Her prince finally came to save Her and the rest you can figure out but it was a trick and the clock struck 12 well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick or the wolf’s gonna blow it down keep your feet on the ground

in the clouds when your head’s GO GET YOUR SHOVEL and we’ll dig a deep hole TO BURY THE CASTLE you built up a world of magic because your real life is tragic if it’s not real you can’t hold it in your hands you can’t feel it with your heart and i won’t believe it but if it’s true you can see it with your eyes even in the dark and that’s where i want to be 4. GO GET YOUR SHOVEL Brick By and we’ll dig a deep hole TO BURY THE CASTLE Boring Brick i scraped my knees while i was praying and found a demon in my safest haven seems like it’s getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts 6. The Only i wanna know what it’d be like to find perfection in my pride to see nothing in the light or turn it off in all my spite Exception In all my spite I’ll turn it off when i was younger i saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind broke his own heart and i watched as he tried to reassemble it and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff and my momma swore that she would never let herself forget and in the free fall i will realize i’m better off when i hit the bottom and that was the day that i promised i’d never sing of love if it does not exist the tragedy it seems unending i’m watching everyone i looked up to breaking, bending taking short cuts and false solutions just to come out the hero but darling you are the only exception well i can see behind the curtain the wheels are cranking turning it’s all wrong the way we’re working towards a goal that’s nonexistent maybe i know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts it’s nonexistent but we just keep believing and we’ve got to find other ways to make it alone keep a straight face the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff i’ve always lived like this and in the free fall i will realize i’m better off when i hit the bottom keeping a comfortable distance i wanna know what it’d be like to find perfection in my pride and up until now i had to see nothing in the light and turn it off in all my spite in all my spite i’ll turn it off sworn to myself that i’m Just turn it off Again! content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk

well you are the only exception

i’ve got a tight grip on reality but i can’t let go of what’s in front of me here i know you’re leaving in the morning when you wake up 5. Turn It Off leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream you are the only exception

i’m on my way to believing we still live in the same town well don’t we but I don’t see you around anymore i go to all the same places not even a trace of you your days are numbered at 24 things are looking up and i’m getting bored waiting around for you 7. oh finally we’re not getting any younger and i won’t look back Feeling i thought i’d never see the day when you’d smile at me cause there’s no use it’s time to move forward we always pull through oh when we try Sorry i’m always wrong but you’re never right you’re never right i feel no sympathy you live inside a cave you barely get by the rest of us are trying no need to apologize I’ve got no time for honestly feeling sorry! can you believe we cross the world while it’s asleep? 8. Looking i try not to think of what might happen i’ll never trade it in cause i’ve always wanted this when your reality it finally cuts through and it’s not a dream anymore Up well as for me i got out and i’m no it’s not a dream anymore on the road and the worst part is that it’s worth fighting for this could be you you know it too can’t run could’ve given up so easily from your shame i was a few cheap shots away from the end of me you’re not getting any younger and time taking for granted most everything that i would’ve died for just yesterday keeps passing by just yesterday but you wave it away it’s time to roll over honestly i feel no sympathy you live inside a cave you barely get by the rest of us are trying can you believe we cross the world while it’s asleep? there’s no need to apologize I’ve got i’ll never trade it in cause i’ve always wanted this no time for feeling sorry! and it’s not a dream anymore all the best lies no it’s not a dream anymore they are told with fingers tied it’s worth fighting for so cross them tight won’t you promise me tonight if it’s the last thing you do you’ll get out i feel no sympathy God knows the world doesn’t need another band you live inside a cave but what a waste it would’ve been you barely get by the rest of us are trying there’s no need to apologize I’ve got no time for feeling sorry! i can’t believe we almost hung it up we’re just getting started! give me attention i need it now too much d i s t a n c e to measure it out Out loud tracing patterns across a personal map and making pictures where the lines overlap no one is as lucky as us we’re not at the end but oh we already won no one is as lucky as us call me over tell me how you got so far never making a single sound 10. i’m not used to it but i can learn Misguided nothing to it i’ve never been happier Ghosts no one is as lucky as us we’re not at the end but oh we already won no one is as lucky as us i am going away for a now i’ve got a feeling if i sang this loud enough while but i’ll be back don’t try you and follow me ‘cause i’ll return would sing it back to me as soon as possible see i’m trying to find my i’ve got a feeling i got a feeling!!! place and it might not be here where i feel safe we YOU all learn to make mistakes and run from them with no would sing it back to me direction we’ll run from them with no conviction ‘cause i’m just one of those ghosts traveling endlessly don’t need no roads in no one is as lucky as us. we’re not at the end but oh we already won fact they follow me and we just go in circles now i’m told that this is life no one is as lucky as us. 9. and pain is just a simple compromise so we can get what we want out of it would Where someone care to classify our broken hearts and twisted minds so i can find someone to rely on and run to them full speed ahead oh you are not useless we are just misguided ghosts The Lines traveling endlessly the ones we trusted the most pushed us far away and there’s no one road we Overlap should not be the same but i’m just a ghost and still they echo me they echo me in circles 11.
