[Verse]
Magnificent pose
Let's have a toast
It's hard to be happy
I'm a pro at coming close
Bring back the fires bring back the floods
And keep me surrounded
What am I gonna do about it
Please just tell me if you know
[Chorus]
Following through everything
Following through damnation alone
A joke, a classical hope to be loved
By everything and everyone
The brain can't be told
About the thoughts related to its mess
So while I hold out hopes for a new day
I avoid the mistakes
[Verse]
Leave it be
Emotional anger dwells
Where laissez-faire built a status of hell
Devotion comes in ways that surprise me
Hopes and prayers in the sky
Keeps the demons from splintering
[Chorus Reprise]
I'd put your posters on my wall
I cared your name into my heart, it's such a shame
Fall leaves are burning up platforms
To confuse hope with what we hate
[Bridge]
Told you I'm done trying to hurt myself
Spend all my time trying to get help
So keep your idle hands still
When your life turns into a mess
Don't fall back into the past unbearable consciousness
You keep your idle hands still
When your life turns into a mess
Don't lift the screen to your head
And depend on the blinding lighting for success
I never thought that I'd subscribe to
Or liken myself to
A machine where I sit and wait on somebody else
