Make an example, a person to follow
Don't leave us with blank stares, eyes vacant and hollow
Just make sure every word that's said
Is repeated and imprinted upon again
Don't just appreciate the attention
'Cause if you've said nothing you're just wasting oxygen
Real meaning can't play pretend, all you need to do it
Elevate yourself
Don't look down on everyone else
I'll raise up my head
Even with all your weight
We've spent too many days saying the same thing
While I've spent too many nights wondering when the message will sink in
At what age will things finally change
I'm getting tired of saying the same thing
Can't we turn nothing into something
Because I think we all deserve some comfort
Then that something becomes everything
And when it's dead and when it's gone it hits the worst
Elevate yourself
Don't look down on everyone else
I'll raise up my head
Not on top of a pedestal
Pushing out my last breath
I've got my head held high while I'm gone on the inside
At least when I was dying I felt something
I'll try to find comfort in anything

It's just pathetic
That I live in a world
Where I think I'll get enough fucking sleep
But come five hours later
I know I'll hate myself
By the time I wake up, just a little more
I'm out here again
And I feel like I'm fenced in
Not wanting to leave the comfort of my car
A walk to your doorway seems to far
Floating through booklets
Just so I don't have to look at
The beautiful faces on all of you
A look I could never perfectly do
I always thought I was bad at impressions
But I make up for it in pointless obsession
The world being a tragedy
Seems to be the only thing I can relate to lately

You were quiet, except
for the regret
in your voice
(I could not make out yet)
It never seems to make a noise
You’re why I get nervous before doing any-thing
Why I wait for all my nerves to leave (for my shaking to cease)
Everyone knows I’ve gotten over this (but sometimes, sometimes)
I’m the one who can’t believe it
I don’t know how to force myself, to blame you
But it seems I always end up here (I always end up here)
There wasn’t much you really put me through
But how come after all this time,
The happiest moments of us are still on my mind (still on my mind)
All the ripples that I make, after sinking like a stone
Are more than I can take, from being thrown (Now drowning)
I’m frantically, trying to find the surface (Now dying)
Cause I’ve got, no direction, no purpose
Maybe when I’m done taking these pills
My depression will finally cease
But depression’s the very thing
That won’t let me believe, it
Another solution to my problems
Reasoned through silence

I’d never seen anything more calm
Then the falling leaves right before a storm
And if even for a second
I’d forgotten about us
I was finally frozen in time
Like the leaves could not look away from
God I hope you can relate to this
But it gets so hard to not write about specifics
How many times have I passed over death?
By doing one thing different
I’m sure that has happened in mine
When I say that I’m finally fine
Not knowing I’m barely hanging on to life
