I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to
carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had...
'Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off,' they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Lain awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever
Wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show it
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Fuses glow
Wounds of festering
Till the wind comes up
And takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Lain awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever
Wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever
Wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it

Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brake
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
It's telling me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I can't stay
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be
Home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me
I need to be
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I can't take
I got a right to move
No matter what they say
Said anytime I want
I got a right to move
No matter what they say
'Cause I got a right
A right to move
Anytime I want
Any old time
Said I got a right
A right to move
Anytime I want
Anytime I want
I got a right to say
No matter what they say
Said anytime I want
I got a right to say
No matter what they say
'Cause I got a right
A right to say
Anytime I want
Any old time
'Cause I got a right
A right to say
Anytime I want
Anytime I want
I got a right to move
No matter what they say
Said anytime I want
I got a right to move
No matter what they say
'Cause I got a right
A right to move
Anytime I want
Any old time
'Cause I got a right
A right to move
Anytime I want
I got a feeling
I got a feeling
I got a feeling
I got a right
I got a right
I got a right
Hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe,

You know I caught her messing around with another man,

You know I caught her messing around on me,

I took out my gun,
Then I shot her! I shot her!
Hey Joe, Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna go?
Ain?t no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me,
Ain?t no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)
Goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe,

Goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south,
Way down where I can be free
All the time.
There's someone around me
Just a step behind.
It's kinda scary,
The shape I'm in.
The walls are shakin'
And they're closing in.
Too fast or
A bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people
And it's starting to show.
There's one guy that
I just can't shake
Over my shoulder
Is a big mistake.
Sitting on the bed
or lying wide awake.
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take.
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak.
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something
Just ain't right.
My head is on loose
But my shoes are tight.
Avoiding friends 'cause
They all bug.
Life is like a riddle
And I'm really stumped.
If you reason,
Don't you know
Your own preoccupation
Is where you'll go.
I think I'm being followed,
I look around
It's only my shadow
Creeping on the ground
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
the world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
(But) black roses and hail marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
and if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
(The) world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
oh please let me trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
(The) world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone Away
as he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
off the ground
He chowed about a half when
his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar
was doggy doo
Whoa
Don't pick it up i say
Whoa
Unless you can throw it away
Whoa
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think so
You're sore today
You're gonna take it back to
Californ-I-A
My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male or female
So what to do?
I think she wants me only
She said" Come over right away."
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on her brand new face
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic
I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighter
It all just seems like such a waste
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic
It's oversimplified (x3)
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic
