I want to see the lights and the drama
Too busy sleeping my youth away
Just trying to make it through these days
Keeps getting harder
It's all a dream that I'll never know
You leave your own just to reach inside
Forgetting for the hundredth time
I'm far from alone
Clouds, second hand smoke
Bliss is rotting away in my bedroom
Matches under the pillow
You'd say 'live your damn life', I don't want to
Devil may care
A nightmare, I'm wretched and doomed
Retching in my room, playing dead
I see the looks you're not giving
Looks like I'm living my own lies
I'm surprised you just sit in silence
Devils may care, fears heavy in the air
We occupy the land of the living
But our heroes only come out at night
So quick to run and try to hide
I should know better
A heart can only break if its beating
I guess depending on what you believe
Slow it down, get some relief
Just watch that ceiling
One taste of the fruit
Turned to ash in my mouth like they all do
I just don't care, a nightmare, I'm wretched and doomed
Retching in my room, playing dead
I see the looks they're not giving
Wish I could live in my own lies
Paradise is that glint in your eyes
Devil may care, what mask to wear
Crowned yourself king, taught me how to sing
Myself back to life
I know that I could be braver
Playing it safe in the shadows
I would go, but I'm stuck with arrows
