(Verse 1) You may never see me again. Not while I'm in the state I'm in. But if you do you can be sure it's just a character performance. Will you wait for me while I accept My current status as a side effect? And as I address my mood, I feel a sudden change of altitude. (Chorus) I can see my house from here, and I like the view but it's dark up here. So, no tea and sympathy while I market my misery. I can never crash and drown if I never come down. (Verse 2) Don't you dare ask me to stop. Couldn't even if I wanted to. But my addiction is self infliction. Never been so in love. I've never been so in love. But I'm actually okay. Still got a ways to go. And that'll be nice to say when I'm 28 years old. I can't see into the future, but (Chorus) I can see my house from here. I like the view. You'd like it, too. I can see my house from here, and I like the view but it's dark up here. So, no tea and sympathy while I market my misery. I'll never crash and drown.

The problem with a safety net is that even if you need one, it still means that you're gonna fall/ I find forgiveness to be seldom seen and, of all the feelings you can have I think that pity's worst of all/ I've been thinking bout where this began/ When I was trapped inside a place I simply couldn't stand/ And now the journeys take me to a place that's one of courage But I'm too scared to leave/ (I'm too scared) Someone out there please explain/ The difference between love and pain/ Cuz I've been be tryna figure Why they're starting to feel the same/ The problem with a safety net is that even if you need one, it still means that you're gonna fall/ I find rescues to be seldom seen when you're far too cowardly to even answer when they call/ Some friends of mine hold out there hands/ And say lets get motivated to do the best we can/ But the more I reach back to the them to pull them closer, the more I push them away/ (I'm too scared) Someone out there please explain/ The difference between love and pain/ Cuz I've been be tryna figure Why they're starting to feel the same/ And I can't bring myself to get/ The difference between life and death/ Cuz I've been tryna figure/ Why they're starting to feel the same/ Life can't be about just trying not to die/

That day I could've been anyone I wanted to be but/ That day I just wanted to be me/ I've spent everyday this year trying to break out of this stasis/ Therapeutic Isolation, on an everyday basis/ And I'm always surrounded by the constant threat of evil/ And I can't look at myself and can't be seen by other people/ Like I'm always chasing peace, and my god damn legs don't work/ But I saw something to behold and I just wanted to observe a while / Felt like summer in November, and for a moment I felt better/ I always feel like this/ In an identity crisis/ And That day I could've been anyone I wanted to be but / That day I just wanted to be me / But I don't most days. And thats gotta change/ That can't be the best way to do this/ I don't feel wanted/ All i feel haunted, by memories of trying to get through this/ There's people progressing that I keep denying/ While I comment on the sideline and mock them for trying/ Not knowing how good I could be/ Next Halloween I wanna dress up as me/ I always feel like this/ In an identity crisis/ And That day I could've been anyone I wanted to be but / That day I just wanted to be me/ Therapeutic isolation/ I need to rise above my station/ If nothing I do matters, all that matters is what I do/

Im worried pain is the strongest feeling I'll ever have/ If pain reveals who we truly are, then maybe I'm not so bad/ I'm gonna die trying to make a point no one's ever going to get/ I'm not discouraged enough to shut up yet/ I want to be out there/ There's must be something/ I wanna follow my nightmares/ So here goes nothing/ I wanna be an outlier, look stupid in the front row/ I wanna be innocent, experienced, go places I'd never go/ I've spent enough time on my knees in worship. And now it's time to kill my idols/ I'll make sure that their death takes a while/ Let me out of here/ I want to do what scares me/
