Well, it's been years since you've been around Had a life worth talking about Working toward something bigger than you Could ever hope to build alone Waiting for waves to overflow And pull you under Until another outcast finds you You can try too hard to dig yourself out And rise above the noise Your choice You can scream so loud that the whole world hears your voice You're gonna need it anyway When some other human beings start accusing you Of not being human too Remember you and I still outnumber The last gasp of a spiteful few This future's looking unappealing Still haven't found a rhyme nor reason Beyond a shadow of a dollar or a dime We're wasting time Once a home, now ten feet deep A generation left in the heat We'll surf the hurricanes and contemplate the world we leave behind Resist to live in parody Of what was once so promising "Onward, upward," We told ourselves to get us through the Circus of lies and ignorance Indifferent misanthropists Taking, taking 'Til there's nothing left to feed the greed It's far too late to count yourself out When you're caught in the machine Indeed Disease has spread and I'm calling for a quarantine What happened to us anyway? This future's looking unappealing Still haven't found a rhyme nor reason Beyond a shadow of a dollar or a dime We're wasting time Once a home, now ten feet deep A generation left in the heat We'll surf the hurricanes and contemplate the world A world without us Make no mistake This is the calm before the storm So sink or swim, my friends This ice is growing warm No, wait! Don't give up so easy Get up and out and kill your TV Nobody fixed nothing for no one just sitting around We are not gonna be set back By philistines in red snapbacks We've come too far to let each other drown This future's looking unappealing Still haven't found a rhyme nor reason Beyond a shadow of a dollar or a dime We're wasting time Once a home, now ten feet deep A generation left in the heat We'll surf the hurricanes and contemplate the world A world without

You haven't even seen the worst of it all You saw the writing on your bedroom walls Oh yeah You try and try to make the pieces fit But you still don't know where your intentions sit Oh yeah You think you're doing all you can? He's busy drawing up the battle plans To steer you clear It doesn't matter what you say You'll be loved some other day And in the time that you must wait There's no excuse to turn to hate Collecting dust and stashed away You saved that ride for a sunny day Okay Long gone without a kiss goodbye You still can't see that your intentions lie Alright Leaving nothing but a bicycle A sore reminder of a life with her Oh yeah It gets worse before it gets better It doesn't matter what you say You'll be loved some other day And in the time that you must wait There's no excuse to turn to hate I say death to dirty tricks If that's how you get your fix Just pick the time and the place and we'll work it out We're gonna strike at the core of what it's all about Take a break from the things you can do without It's really not so bad to let your conscience guide you It doesn't matter what you say You'll be loved some other day (To have loved and lost, better luck next time) And in the time that you must wait There's no excuse to turn to hate

Now it’s not enough I have to disassociate The memories and words Attached to people, places, things That I used to find some comfort in Before they left me wondering Am I better just existing Saddened, silent, cold and distant? Well, ain't that convenient? Just to shut myself up To cut myself out And now I'm dancing on the fringe On the edge And I’m losing my mind Got a sinking kinda feelin’ That I wasted my time Getting pushed, getting shoved Out of luck, out of love Looking for a simple answer Was it something I’d done? I don’t trust the sunshine anymore I got no use for the morning, or sorting through my insecurities So don’t wake me up I’ll deal with it this evening Intoxicate, investigate To find some kind of deeper meaning I’m reading between the lines I’m inconvenient to keep around It’s just a side effect, a memory of missing you You’ll never know I’m on the fringe On the edge And I’m losing my mind Got a sinking kinda feeling That I wasted my time Getting pushed, getting shoved Out of luck, out of love Looking for a simple answer What the fuck have I done? I’m on the fringe On the edge And I’m losing my mind Got a sinking kinda feeling (Sink, sink, sink) That I wasted my time Getting pushed, getting shoved Out of luck, out of love Was it something I’d done? Something I'd done? Something I'd done? Something I'd done? Yeah

This newfound negativity Raised harrowing hypotheses, I see A revelation of how sanity Cannot win out every possibility Can’t stand it? Stand up! Take it up with the maniacs Take it up, take it up! Or risk the end of it all Can’t stand it? Stand up! Take it up with the maniacs Take it up, take it up! Or risk the end of it all It’s the devil in the details Always there but never quite so clear Just hypocrisy and fear You soak it up like the sunshine For the illusion of control You know that you’re inviting Armageddon? Now you say I’m the enemy Nothing's changed, still me just being me I still believe in honesty To sing for something more than blind complacency Can’t stand it? Stand up! Take it up with the maniacs Take it up, take it up! Or risk the end of it all Can’t stand it? Stand up! Take it up with the maniacs Take it up, take it up! Or risk the end of it all It’s the devil in the details Always there but never quite so clear Just hypocrisy and fear You drink it up like the moonshine For delusions of control You know that you’re inviting Armageddon? It’s coming on! It's the end of the world The end of all you know The end of all you love I’ll say it again, they're playing you Facts are facts, you can't just pick and choose But damn the truth, yeah, that's what you do Here's what they do, oh: Ignore all the warning signs There's no more sense of wrong or right Sell you prophets just for profits Fatten up their bottom line Throw out your critical thinking While the ship we share is sinking The captain stole the lifeboat But you still don't believe me Yeah It’s the devil in the details Always there but never quite so clear Just hypocrisy and fear, yeah yeah yeah yeah You soak it up like the sunshine For the illusion of control You know that you’re inviting Armageddon? It's coming on!

Unravel the mystery The odds are seven hundred twenty-five to one That I’m not crazy But I’m a betting man I bet you’re the crazy one I’m not giving up or giving up the ghost This heart and mind to haunt are mine and mine alone Watch where you leave your words of love I see them everywhere and hear them loud in every single sound And now I speculate how it could be if you’d had stuck around Now you’re still gone and I’m still lonely I’ve been slowly sinking deeper Self-medicating with indifference and just waiting for you to Give me fire Give me fire Just let ‘em burn, just look away (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I can’t smile I can’t feel I can’t feel Just let ‘em burn, just look away In every mirror I see someone who’s lost his will to wonder Lost his will to fight, to question, lost his sovereign right to hunger for more Now I’m pretending that I’m okay and yet I can’t contain myself I just confuse you, it still consumes me From the moment that I fell For you It’s true, there’s an emptiness inside I cannot fill since you Simply shut me out and walked away And all that I can do is ruminate Eliminate Me Maybe I’m not one of them I’m a human being With thoughts and dreams and in between You’re just like me Hey Maybe I’m not one of them Sure, I’ve done stupid things I gave up on dreams Trying to make ends meet Between me and you Me and you Hey! Give me fire Give me fire Just let ‘em burn, just look away I can’t smile I can’t feel I can’t feel Just let ‘em burn, just look away Just look away Maybe I'm the crazy one Yes, I'm the crazy one
