I’m putting pen to paper, but nothing seems to flow Broken lines and blank verse, that’s how it always goes. I wanna write a song to make all your voices heard We’ll take the stage and win your hearts, word by fucking word. You’ll sing along as we play our songs, we’ll stretch our wings so far, We’re the boys who stand for you, so get up off the ground. It’s straining on our hearts, it’s straining on our minds We’re crawling through the dark and stepping over lines I’m running from the danger that’s closing in behind We’re the boys who play it loud, we'll do it every time You’ve gotta give back what you’ve taken and make the balance right If they catch me at a standstill they’ll throw me to the light We’ll sing about what you believe, we’re gonna set things right, So hit the lights and turn it up, we’ll play into the night You’ll sing along as we play our songs, we’ll stretch our wings so far, We’re the boys who stand for you, so get up off the ground. Get up off the ground It’s straining on our hearts, it’s straining on our minds We’re falling through the dark and stepping over lines I’m running from the danger that’s closing in behind We’re the boys who play it loud, we’ll do it every time

I’m running out of things to say, will you please make this bullshit go away Cause its driving me insane. I’m trying to keep my head on straight, but my teenage wisdom’s telling me, I’m already too late, yea I’m already too late So cut me down now, I’ve been up here for hours Say, where you going? You can’t just leave me here, I’m all alone, I’m all alone now Let’s take a break now, let’s get ourselves together You left me broken, don’t you run away from me You’re all for show I think I’ll make it alone from here, I’m better off alone! We’re running out of games to play, it’s too bad cause I’d beat you all the same Now you’re saving me the pain So turn a blind eye, I’m sick of your surveillance No I can’t be trusted, don’t you throw your life away I’m all alone And it’s taking its toll on me, don’t try and keep me here! I’m running out of things to do today I’m sitting all alone, just waiting for her call I’m flipping through my magazines and reminiscing memories Why can’t I make this bullshit go away Well now that you’ve thrown me away, I don’t give a shit what you say And after all that you did, I’ll take my chances my dear I think I’ll make it alone from here, I’m better off alone! Don’t you tell me how to live my life, I’m gonna break free from your restraints Who are you to tell me what to do? I know who I am

This time I’m not doing this for you, it’s for me, you wasted your chance. I’m gonna leave this behind, I’ve seen through your eyes, now I see And this is the last time This hurts me more than you know, it’s time to say goodbye. I know now, you weren’t really worth it at all. We’re movin’ on, on from the heartbreak. So let’s move away, away from this time in our lives Away from the ground to the broken skyline. It’s too late to fix these mistakes, there’s no forgive and forget This hurts me more than you know, it’s time to say goodbye. We’re movin’ on, on from the heartbreak. So let’s move away, away from this time in our lives Away from the ground to the broken skyline.

I’m sick of falling, there’s better things in life, I cannot see And to pick myself an escape, you’re killing me And I can’t find a way to see the stars And you will never be alive The stars fall around me in circles, The waves sweep me off of my feet Throw me a line not an anchor I’m drowning in bittersweet Lifelines and deathbeds, they’re all the future is for me And to find myself an escape, there’s a war within me And I can’t find a way to see the stars And you will never be alive The stars fall around me in circles, The waves sweep me off of my feet Throw me a line not an anchor I’m drowning in this, I’m drowning in bittersweet The stars fall around me in circles, The waves sweep me off of my feet Throw me a line not an anchor I’m drowning in this, I’m drowning in bittersweet You’re better off stumbling for a truth that doesn’t exist Like the sun and the moon We’re different in every way, you search in the night But I hide in the day The stars fall around me in circles, The waves sweep me off of my feet Throw me a line not an anchor I’m drowning in this, I’m drowning in bittersweet Won’t you pull me up, won’t you pull me up out of this

He sits alone, her mind’s a mess Her words spill into heartache, his mind into a wreck He can’t go home, she’s been away so long How much more can he withstand, can’t find where she belongs Let’s chase this writing on the wall, she pulls his heart until he falls Into her arms. These hearts, the hands, these matching scars, he pulls her close beneath the stars Into his arms. Lengthening the night, pushing back the dawn We’ll stand above the rest with our hearts outside our chest, woah The line was drawn in blood, from your bleeding hand, on you broken heart. Two minds alike, these tears don’t fall They’re trying to walk the fine line but the world wants them to crawl, Who cares for writing on the wall, she learnt to fly, he learnt to fall Into her arms We’ll shout our names into the sky and sing these words until we die Until we die! Lengthening the night, pushing back the dawn We’ll stand above the rest with our hearts outside our chest, woah The line was drawn in blood, from your bleeding hand, on you broken heart. We’ll stand above the rest with our hearts outside our chest, woah
