(C F Am G C)
When I was little
I had so many dreams
Still so many things I hadn't seen
Thought I would graduate
At age 13
But it turns out I'm not who I wanted to be
(F Am G)
But I still haven't accepted superheroes don't exist
And I still haven't come to terms with life's cruel little twist
(C F Am G C)
Everyone's telling me
That I've gotta change
Don't have to love it just go to school
Go to work
Get paid
Do you remember
Wanting something more
Now you wanna do business
Not worth living for
(F Am G)
But I still haven't accepted superheroes don't exist
And I still haven't come to terms with life's cruel little twist
And if I'm gonna die
Hell, I'll die trying
Maybe one day I'll leap and just start flying
And never come back, never come back
Never come back, never come back
Never come back, never come back
To your cruel little world cause
(F Am G)
I still haven't accepted superheroes don't exist
And I still haven't come to terms with life's cruel little twist
And I still haven't accepted superheroes don't exist
And I still haven't come to terms with life's cruel little twist
And I'm not gonna wait till someone hands me my life on a silver plate
Outro (C F Am G C)

Tell me something I don't know
And save me from moving too slow
Can't dodge these bullets with my eye on the prize
So I'll take it though It hurts
Cause I've lived to be live since birth
But I'm still terrified I'll be much too late
Save me from myself but
Wouldn't wanna be anyone else oh
End my life, no please just let me live
And Im locked in a lie but
Maybe I could touch the sky and
Maybe I'm not just a starstruck kid
All your talent's in your head
Forget about kind things they said
Nobody can stop me now
All your talent's in your head
Forget about the things they said
Nobody can stop me now
The world' be better off without me
The world' be better off without me
The world' be better off without me
I'll never be the chosen one
Why won't the world revolve around me
Why won't the world revolve around me
Why won't the world revolve around me
I'm so much better than the sun
Save me from myself but
Wouldn't wanna be anyone else oh
End my life, no please just let me live
And Im locked in a lie but
Maybe I could touch the sky and
Maybe I'm not just a starstruck kid
The world' be better off without me
The world' be better off without me
The world' be better off without me
I'll never be the chosen one
Why won't the world revolve around me
Why won't the world revolve around me
Why won't the world revolve around me
I'm so much better than the sun

Our Religion

The drum beat's saved me so many times
The bass line's hell-bent miracle child
My voice is all I need to survive
I'm begging take me
Our songs are our confessionals
Hum hallelujah from the back row
Call us sinners but its nothing that we don't know
You'll never break me
Cause theres one to many voices in my head
And I'm too hung u on something that they said
But the lyrics never leave me here for dead so
Hand over the mic
Music's our religion
And heaven's on a stage
Commandments made for breaking
And words you'd never say
Worshiping our idols
The emo trinity
We're all drunk and tormented to the melody
The emo synth pop opened my eyes
vaudevillian punk rock is saving my life
Mix us, match us, bend us, break us
we can not be confined
It doesn't shake me
Cause theres one to many voices in my head
And I'm too hung u on something that they said
But the lyrics never leave me here for dead so
Hand over the mic
Music's our religion
And heaven's on a stage
Commandments made for breaking
And words you'd never say
Worshiping our idols
The emo trinity
We're all drunk and tormented to the melody
Sing hallelujah from the rooftop
Don't stop
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
Sing hallelujah from the rooftop
Don't stop
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah
Music's our religion
And heaven's on a stage
Commandments made for breaking
And words you'd never say
Worshiping our idols
The emo trinity
We're all drunk and tormented to the melody
Music's our religion
And heaven's on a stage
Commandments made for breaking
And words you'd never say
Worshiping our idols
The emo trinity
We're all drunk and tormented to the melody

In Between

You deserve the world but I
Wanna keep you to myself so
Nobody else could ever steal you
You deserve so much more but I
Wanna keep you on my shelf so
Nobody else could ever feel you, like I do
And I'm stuck in between
If you love me let me go
And I'm stuck in between
Don't let anybody know
You could have anyone but it
Looks like you're stuck with me so
I'll try my very best to keep ya
You could've had the sun but it
Looks like you choses someone who
Could never be all that good for ya
And I'm stuck in between
If you love me let me go
And I'm stuck in between
Don't let anybody know
And I'm stuck in between
If you love me let me go
And I'm stuck in between
Don't let anybody know

Unlucky to Love You
02:49

You're getting harder to see with my self esteem in the way
You're getting harder to read with all this insecurity
You're getting harder to picture every time you tel a like but
You're getting harder to forget every time you say goodbye
And you've complicated me
Time and time again
Everything in your way you burn and
Everybody that stays is turned and
Disregard everything you learned cause
I'm so unlucky to love you
I often question your crown but
You quickly turn me around cause
I'm so unlucky to love you
And when you tell me you own me
I tell myself not to stay but
You know just how to enchant me
I could never stay away
And you
Pull me in
Just to kick me out
And you
Lead me on
Just to drag me about
And you've complicated me
Time and time again
Everything in your way you burn and
Everybody that stays is turned and
Disregard everything you learned cause
I'm so unlucky to love you
I often question your crown but
You quickly turn me around cause
I'm so unlucky to love you
Everything in your way you burn and
Everybody that stays is turned and
Disregard everything you learned cause
I'm so unlucky to love you
I often question your crown but
You quickly turn me around cause
I'm so unlucky to love you

Mama

Mama you'll have to make me
Good luck cause nothing in the world can break me down
Mama you take me as someone I'm not
Mama don't wake me up inside
I've always been more of a blink 182 guy
Mama I'll paint it black till I die
Really though I'm meaning this
Screw it till we're meaningless
I knows it's hard to comprehend
You wanted to raise a daughter
But you raised a punk instead
Mama sure you can slate some
Tell em how I went from a hundred to a twenty øne
Mama you can make me go to your little parties
Mama I know it hurts but
I'll still sneak out at night for the kids in the dark concerts
Mama I'm already part of their army
Something that I can't resist
Screw it till we're sinners this
Must be hard to comprehend
You wanted to raise a daughter
But you raised a punk instead
Yes I'm a bad boy and i lead a sharp life
I'm just a broken kid run wild
I'll take it just to kill the party
Yes I'm a bad boy and i lead a sharp life
I'm just a broken kid run wild
I'll take it just to kill the party

The Voices

Shelter me from the rain
I'm too weak to know my name
I can't help it when they're coming after me again
Second guessing, writing wrongs
Backwards glances, bitter songs
I just can't tell weather I'm better off afraid like hey said
Oh, the voices in my head get so distracted
But they always seen to some back to dying, to dying
Oh, the voices in my heart are broken fragments
But they alway piece together "she's lying, she's lying"
Rabbit holes in my brain
Twisting their words, take me away
The world is spinning and I don't know where I am anymore
Oh, the voices in my head get so distracted
But they always seen to some back to dying, to dying
Oh, the voices in my heart are broken fragments
But they alway piece together "she's lying, she's lying"
Oh, the voices of the strangers seem to whisper
'Bout the girl whose false physique they're not buying, not buying
Oh, the voices in the dark tell me that I'm not good enough to even
Consider trying, stop trying
Shelter me from the rain
I'm too weak to know my name
I can't help it when they're coming after me again

He won't say just where he's ben sneaking off to
He's okay but baby honestly, are you?
He won't change he'll never stop until he's through
Come and go before he finds somebody new
We're all his left behind
His never mind
It's never good enough
We're all his backup plans
And one night stands
Playing it off as luck
Stop now till you fall too deep
10 years from now he's still the reason you can't sleep
Don't go you'll regret it in the morning
Think you'll wake up by his side but he's already storming out the door
Chances are he's after your best friend not you
Chances are your just somebody that he used
Chances are the happy couple's all the news
Chances are tomorrow he'll be back for you
We're all his left behind
His never mind
It's never good enough
We're all his backup plans
And one night stands
Playing it off as luck
Stop now till you fall too deep
10 years from now he's still the reason you can't sleep
Don't go you'll regret it in the morning
Think you'll wake up by his side but he's already storming out the door
But wait theres more
We're all his 'just a friend'
Boy don't pretend
You kissed everyone last night
We're all his "I love you"s
"Now buy me booze unless you want another fight"
He'll leave you crying on the bathroom floor
But he's already looking for another girl a little more touch
Me
Oh, oh, oh, more more more more
Oh, stay please
Oh, leave me
Oh, pretty please
More more more more

Fault

Everyone wants to fall in love with her
But no one ever really did
She'd turn off the lights and
She'd cry most every night cause
What else can she do
She's really just a kid
But it's not her fault she has to be here
Not her fault no one can see clear
Not her fault that theres a fee for love
Not her fault, not her fault and
Give, give, give but nobody's taking
Not her fault the ceiling's not breaking
It's your fault someday she just won't wake up
The boys go round and round and numb her
She'll go with anyone who'll go
She turns off the lights and
Someone new every night but
Nobody ever cared to know
That it's not her fault she has to be here
Not her fault no one can see clear
Not her fault that theres a fee for love
Not her fault, not her fault and
Give, give, give but nobody's taking
Not her fault the ceiling's not breaking
It's your fault someday she just won't wake up
But it's not her fault she has to be here
Not her fault no one can see clear
Not her fault that theres a fee for love
Not her fault, not her fault and
Give, give, give but nobody's taking
Not her fault the ceiling's not breaking
It's your fault someday she just won't wake u
And it's not her fault she has to be here
Not her fault no one can see clear
Not her fault that theres a fee for love
Not her fault, not her fault and
Give, give, give but nobody's taking
Not her fault the ceiling's not breaking
It's your fault today she just won't wake up

Wanted to shower him with kisses
And smile at the wind
They say people aren't born with sadness
Then why do we need gin?
And I was born into this world kind, blind, and unknowing
Then everybody told me
Stop your pain is showing
Beause we're not allowed to cry
Happy, happy, happy, happy
Every day of our lives
We're not allowed to be upset when blue skies turn to grey
But it won't, it won't go away
And hate these people telling me
I'm not allowed to feel
And I hate these people selling me
These things that aren't real so
I'm gonna be sad and I'm gonna cry
I'm gonna fail and I'm gonna lie
I'm gonna fall and I'm gonna die
Because I'm human
I'm gonna be sad and I'm gonna cry
I'm gonna fail and I'm gonna lie
I'm gonna fall and I'm gonna die
Because I'm human
But we're not allowed to cry
Happy, happy, happy, happy
Every day of our lives
We're not allowed to be upset when blue skies turn to grey
But it won't, it won't go away
But we're not allowed to cry
Can't be happy, happy, happy
Every day of our lives
I wouldn't have to be upset if blue skies never turned to grey
But weather never works that way
