I remember all the good times
Before you were the bad guys
I wonder if I missed the signs
I’m trying to find my way
Trying to find my place
Something that makes me more than a Runaway
I’m flying up above trying to do some good
Rainbow brite in the sky
I have to believe I have powers like these
To chase the darkness with the light
Just trying to wipe the slate clean
Of the villains that raised me
Of an evil I won’t let define me
I think I can do more
A reason I was put here for
I am more than were I came from
I don’t want to live with Pride
I want to show the world
I can make a name for myself
Gonna bring this to an end
Take a chance with my friends
Family is more than blood

Turn [Explicit]

Turn the other cheek
Rise above
Be the better person
Is what we're taught
But agree to disagree
Can only go so far
With a situation this fucked up
We're gonna need more than luck
Can't win it all
Liars run it all
Two sides to every story
But one side gets to do the talking
My spirits running low
Patients wearing thin
When nice guys finish last
In this wonderful world we live in
Turn the other cheek
Rise above
Be the better person
Just isn't enough
When selfish hearts
Reap the rewards
No matters what is done or said
The goal is just to get ahead
Lies and manipulation
Deceit and misinformation
So entrenched in bitterness
Instead of making a difference
Writing stories
For their own glory

We gotta talk about Danny
Something’s just not right
He’s seeing things that are not there
It’s giving him a fright
He’s talking to himself again
Finger wiggling in the air
I know I wanted him to make friends
But now Danny isn’t here
What happened Danny?
Oh, what’s up Doc?
What’s got you shaking?
And why can’t you talk?
We gotta talk about Danny
Something’s not right
He’s drawings on the doors again
Been up half the night
Standing at the end of the bed
With a knife held in his hand
Screaming “redrum, redrum”
Over and over again
Time for running and hiding
From the horrors of this twisted picture book
Your path is long and winding
With dangers hard to overlook
Gotta talk about Danny
Something’s not right
He hasn’t said anything in days
Now he’s scared for life

Lost

Feel like I’m losing myself
Standing here watching someone else
Left to pick up the pieces
Feel like I’m standing far away
Without the words to say
Just how I’m feeling
CHORUS
Tell me is this real
Cause all I feel
Is like I’m losing it
Got a tenuous grip
Watching from the shadows
Watching the world
It’s wonderful life
But it’s not mine
I’m questioning myself
Just can’t trust myself
This doesn’t feel right
Feel like I’ve lost control
To pain from long ago
I just want back my life
Watching a stranger's life
Like I’m living a lie
All I can do is stand by
It’s not what I’d imagined
Hopes and dreams left shattered
I lost so much time

Can we unlearn the past?
Start this over again
Hello. It’s me
I’ve never been ideal
With a checklist to tick
Just how many can I hit?
The perfect the looks, the perfect smile
But nothing about what’s going on inside
Cause you don’t know me at all
Wanna keep me in a box
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
It’s just a game you play
When you don’t even know my name
It’s just misgivings that you hold
You don’t know me at all
An image that you hold
Was never me at all
Hello. It’s me
I’ve never been ideal
I try to remember it’s your hang up
And you need to grow the f*** up
But jokes and opinions cut deep
Behind the smile you see
And you don’t care to know me
Hidden in your reality
So starved for attention
It’s time to look within
And why should I sit here quietly?
Just trying to keep the peace
When it’s killing me
When you don’t want to see
That you don’t know me

They tried to beat me down
Tried to make me less
The hell with that
I’m fighting back
They tried to make me doubt myself
Tried to make me the problem
The hell with that
I’m fighting back
Don’t let them write your history for you
Don’t let them tell your story for you
They tried to break me down
Tried to make me feel worthless
The hell with that
I’m fighting back
Don’t let them write your history for you
Don’t let them take your story from you
Don’t let them take it away
Its not for them to say
They tried to change the script
Tried to change the narrative
The hell with that
I’m fighting back
Don’t let them write your history for you
Don’t let them take your story from you

Bad Things
02:48
|

I'm a little bit bad
And a little bit mad
I’m brilliant, I’m sure
Hear me roar
I want to make some trouble
In the mood to wreak some havoc
Got revenge on the mind
And now’s my time
I’m here to take the world
Tear it down and watch you fall
I’m here to make a statement
It’s time to ascend
Now don’t worry
I’m just getting started
There’s more bad things
Coming I promise
It’s good to be bad
And a little bit mad
“Normal” is just so boring
There’s more to my story
I’m not sweet and I’m not kind
Maybe a little out of my mind
I’m not for everyone
And that’s part of the fun
Bad things
I wanna do bad things
I’m here to do bad things
I was born to do bad things

Figure

Lately I’ve been thinking
It’s all I’ve done for years
Trying to figure out
What’s going on here
In a world that’s so connected
I’ve never felt more alone
Just me with my thoughts
That have a life of their own
I think I got this all wrong
All I do is doubt myself
But I carry on
Cause I don’t know anything else
I took the wrong path
And I don’t know how to get back
To start over again
Wouldn’t know where to begin
Lately I’ve been thinking
Cause all I’ve had is time
Trying to figure out
What’s going on with my mind
Looking for answers
But only found more questions
Reached all kinds of conclusions
But didn’t find the solutions
Swings and roundabouts
Ups and downs
Another anxiety bout
Fear and doubt
Rationalising it out
Another piece of the puzzle found
But I can’t see the bigger picture
Has anyone really got it figured out?
