The Heights

[Verse 1]
There was a demon that I fed
It smiled when I laid my head down
And I'd like to think there’s nothing left
But we'll see, tonight
I took my belongings to the ledge
Threw it all over while I said
"This has no value now, I guess
I learned to love you right"

[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, you thought I was weak
But I get a kick out of proving you wrong
(You're the voice in my head and I don’t get a break)
(I'd leave you for dead but I don't wanna wait)
And oh, you like to believe
You're a link in the chain that is tying me down
(You're the voice in my head, you weren't even here)
(And if I'm not scared you can't feed on my fear)

[Chorus]
So if I fall, it’ll be ’cause I jumped
And if I jump, it'll be ’cause I'm reaching for the heights
The heights
If I hit the wall, it'll be 'cause I ran (I ran)
And if I run, it’ll be 'cause I don't wanna waste my time (My time)
If I jump, it'll be while I reach for the heights

[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na)

[Verse 2]
I don't like to drink, it makes it worse
Yeah, I can't hold my liquor
I like to think that praying works
But all I hear is quiet
And I see my belongings down below
I see the dust begin to settle
And I could have sold it all, you know
But what's the price?

[Pre-Chorus]
And oh, you thought I was weak
But I get a kick out of proving you wrong
(You're the voice in my head and I don't get a break)
(I'd leave you for dead but I don't wanna wait)
And oh, you like to believe
You're a link in the chain that is tying me down
(You're the voice in my head, you weren't even here)
(And if I'm not scared you can't feed on my fear)

[Chorus]
So if I fall, it'll be 'cause I jumped
And if I jump, it'll be 'cause I'm reaching for the heights
The heights (Na-na)
If I hit the wall, it'll be 'cause I ran (I ran)
And if I run, it'll be 'cause I don't wanna waste my time (My time)
If I jump, it'll be while I reach for the heights

[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na)
If I jump it'll be while I reach for the heights
(Na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
(Na-na, na-na-na)
If I jump it'll be while I reach for the heights

[Outro]
There was a demon that I fed
It smiled when I laid my head down
And I'd like to think there's nothing left
But we'll see, tonight
I took my belongings to the ledge
Threw it all over while I said
"This has no value now, I guess
I learned to love you right"
