oh my God / seems that I've lost myself / I've been here for all my life / but I've never found my home / so stay here with me / stay by my side / and I will be lonely no more / except for tonight / all my love slipped out of my back door / I've sheltered myself from sun / and shattered my broken bones / so stay here with me / stay by my side / and I will be lonely no more / except for tonight / and rest all your worries / stay by my side / and I'll be your only one / for the rest of our lives

you wanted me like a casual joke / said, "the money's not my worry when the wishing well's broke" / and you laid into me hard like a neck to a rope / I'm holding matches and a smokeless light all night / you're counting dozens upon dozens of my favorite goodbyes / so let me take a few for the ride / oh my only break to turn you off is suffocated by your spark to shine on, shine on / deserted like the kings and the pawn / oh, you can't rely on any sin around to sit back down / you weren't supposed to know the bones I have around / stop listening and make a sound / you troubled no man, you're a nomad only set up clean / you push your words and let your feet bring you right back to the scene / I'm thinking that you know what I mean / so don't you ever ask again / I told you what I had to spend / but the wishing well's broke / a table set for thousands of ghosts

best bet when this is over and every inch is searched / they'll buy your soul a marker on a plot inside the Earth / and we'll gather round, gather round / and we'll swear we knew you back when you were yourself / worst yet is that you're older, a little heavyset / you won't buy yourself a smile / at least it hasn't happened yet / so talk to me, please / and you'll swear you knew where you could find me / now all this time has gone / but you can't help at all / so never live afraid / now all I see is sunlight / every thought I get / when I swore I'd cross the country / I hadn't lived it yet / some day I'll be free / til then you know where you can find me / now all this time has gone / but you won't change at all / so never live afraid

I've been standing by the mirror / just to watch my sinking features fall again / and I've been joking to the masses / shaking hands and clinking glasses all for them / and it's never going back to where it is / straight up terrified this bullet's gonna hit / I've been shooting for a message / or a shred of my acceptance to the game / and I'd play if I were older / my list of friends is getting shorter by the day / and it's never going back to where it is / straight up terrified this bullet's gonna hit / and it's gonna hit / but it's not the deadliest / as long as you feel it you'll know its worth / you'll reach it from inside / and I know that you fear this but don't be scared / I'm always by your side / and I've been thinking more than normal that this infinite absorption's got to end / cause I've been tripping with the message of this overwhelming whisper in my head / and we swore to not believe them but we know that there's a reason / why they strip us down of all our confidence / so we dug a hole to build an empire / but bore too far and buried alive our wishes, hopes and dreams to live again / how can we win? / as long as you feel it you'll know its worth / you'll reach it from inside / and I know that you fear this but don't be scared / I'm always by your side / I could learn to be a doer if i could find a way to do it once again / and I could settle for the taking but at the rate my mind's been aching / I don't know if I can find my way again

The Outsider

I guess as soon as August hit its swell / the peak of summer came and quickly fell / and all the colors will wilt away / until there's nothing but a memory / and I can only see so far til the midnight blocks my view / and gazing down upon my face was the memory of you / forgiving for their arguments aside / I sit alone and watch these embers die / I'm finally at home two hundred miles away / I finally found home / I guess as certain as the sun will set / and we will laugh and live right here forever through The Outsider and photographs / and all the colors forever stay / but do they ever wonder how they got that way? / and I can only see so far til the midnight blocks my view / and gazing down upon my face was the memory of you / I swore I saw you once on my back porch / I swore you saw me too / now don't get nervous / no don't be nervous / it's something washed out by the light / it calls me outside by your side / it's something I can't recognize
