Sometimes I cry in the bathroom when all of my family’s asleep
Guess I could cry in the bed but it feels safer over the sink
Sometimes I film myself cryin’ to feel like a movie star
Make a face like Claire Danes and play power chords on guitar
CH1
The worlds’ gonna love me
Before I die
Maybe they’ll love me
Before I die
Someone might love me
Before I die
The worlds’ gonna love me before I die
Before I die
VS2
Sometimes i do karate when no one’s around to see
Imaginary ninja assassins don’t stand a chance with me
Sometimes I laugh hysterically at something really sad
Sometimes that thing is me & sometimes its white guys tryna rap
CH2
The worlds’ gonna love me
Before I die
Maybe they’ll love me
Before I die
Someone’s gonna love me
Before I die
The worlds’ gonna love me before I die
Before I die
BRIDGE

It’s not what you think it is

I tripped on the top of the world
Skinned my knees fallin’ on swords

Threw all my pigs to the pearls

VS1
Can anybody hear me now
Just another voice in the crowd
We’re all screamin’ at the top of our lungs
Dying inside & pretending it’s fun
But no one can hear us now
Cause no one’s listening when
CH1
Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing
“I don’t wanna hurt. I don’t wanna cry.
Want someone to tell me it’ll be alright.”
Everybody’s singin’ the same song.
VS2
Will anybody see me bleed
If I keep the cuts inside of me
We’re all layin’ on the edge of a knife
Will anybody miss us if we let it slide
No one will see us bleed
Cause no one’s listening when

Everybody’s singin’ the same song
So why do we keep getting the words wrong

But it all comes crashin’ down
When everyone sings
“I hear you now”

So why do we keep getting the words wrong
We sing

Want someone to take this weight that’s killing me.”
Everybody’s singin’ the same song.
Can anybody hear me now?

I have so much fun
I’m never ever sad
I got it all together
Nobody cares
Look at me so happy
Everybody’s perfect
I never ever cry, and
Nobody cares
PRE1
Look at my new face
I got it at a thrift store
Took the elevator
Got off on the 5th floor
Smiled at a baby
I think it was my landlord
I don’t have the rent
But it doesn’t matter anymore, cause
CH
I’m gonna be a star
I’m an astronaut that’s blasting off
Alone inside a bar
I’m gonna be a god
I’m a statue staring at you
But this room is really dark

Everybody’s talkin’
Everybody’s likin’
But nobody cares
I got brand new moves
And I think they’re really sexy
Everybody wants me
But nobody cares
PRE2
Look at my new body
I got it in a dumpster
Brand new blow up doll
And I think I really love her
Talks a bit too much
So I went to see a doctor
Red pill in the morning
Get Illuminati dollars

Alone inside a bar

In the comfort of my bed

Alone inside a bar
I’m gonna be a god
I’m a statue staring at you

Clarity (gently)

VS1
I’ve been speaking to my conscience
To please shut the hell up
Stuck a crystal up my mantra
Manifested in a cup
PRE1
The only thing about me that I love
Is mutual destruction of
My multiple personalities
Having all the fun
CH
I’ve got a whiskey lady
She’s drinking hard to save me
I’ve been too sober lately
This clarity makes me crazy
VS2
I found a hippie on the westside
Said she could tell me my sign
Did a rail of my heartline
But she didn’t get high
PRE2
The only thing about me that i love
Is mutual destruction of
All my questions and all your answers
Cause they’re both fuckin’ dumb
CH2
I’ve got a whiskey lady
She’s drinking hard to save me
I’ve been too sober lately
This clarity makes me crazy

Got it all figured out
I’m a buddha, I’m a clown
Watch me find nirvana on a tshirt
In a wal mart with some bible belt jeans
CH3

She’s drinking hard to save me

Wake up
It’s 3 am and I’m a failure
According to all of my previous dreams
That the tv gave me
It’s so very unfair
Cause i don’t need much to be happy
CH
All I need is everything I want
All I need is everything I want
It’s not my ego
I’m just a hero
All i need is everything I want

Baby
I think a little more can save me
I don’t wanna be known for who I am
Just wanna look good for fans
Live up high in the stars
Where they know they can never reach me
CH2
All I need is everything I want
All I need is everything I want
It’s not my ego
I’m just a hero
All i need is everything I want

Let’s all pray to the gods
With all the money and bodies
Then bring their whole temple to the ground
Let’s all pray to the gods
Then burn ‘em down

It’s not my ego
I’m just a hero
All i need is everything I want
All I need is everything I want

VS1
I got regrets on my mind
Makin’ a mess of my space and time
Fuckin’ up my perfect smile
Cause I’m un-worthy
I got regrets haunting me
Little ghosts in everything I see
I’m just sitting here tryin’ to be
Worthy
CH1
Someone tell me I’m ok
I can’t hear
But say it anyway
Someone tell me I’m alright
It’s not true
But I need the lie
VS2

So much fruit from forbidden trees
Temptations whispering
I love you
All this grace that won’t leave me be
Let me pay so I can leave
But you won’t stop whispering
I love you

Someone tell me I’m ok
I can’t hear

Someone tell me I’m alright
It’s not true
But I need the lie

I glued some feathers to my arms and called it love
We took a spaceship to the stars cause earth is dumb
So how do we make this right
Do we jump or stay inside
They say it’s either fight or flight
Well fuck that let’s do both tonight
PRE
The sun isn’t much further
And we’re too scarred to get burned
We won’t close our eyes
Cause we heard that love is blind
CH
I think we can fly
Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it
When we hit the ground
I think we can fly
Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it
When we hit the ground
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
They’re gonna feel it when we hit the ground
VS2
I put a rocket on our back and called it love
You lit the fuse cause killing us sounded like fun
Maybe we can be falling stars
Leave the world with another scar
Doesn’t matter if it’s fight or flight
The end is still a broken heart
CH2
I think we can fly
Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it
When we hit the ground
I think we can fly
Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it
When we hit the ground
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
They’re gonna feel it when we hit the ground
BR
You let me fly then you set me on fire
In your atmosphere
Get me high but my gravity
Won’t let you near
SOLO
CH
I think we can fly
Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it
When we hit the ground

Or we just fall from the sky
Get high enough so they feel it

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
They’re gonna feel it when we hit the ground
