You'd give up the world, take on the earth But you'll falter I can see it in the way Your tourniquet is bound Weak as your will at the lowest point You'd give up your life, just to feel the earth Fall away beneath your feet again Gasping for breath with a lack of will The lowest point brought about by you And they still stand there with their arms outstretched And that's how it will be forever more And on until the ocean, delivers you from your chosen place Your former contempt for yourself and life as you held it prior You'd give up the world, take on the earth But you'll falter I can see it in the way Your tourniquet is bound Weak as your will at the lowest point You'd give up your life, just to feel the earth Fall away beneath your feet again Gasping for breath with a lack of will The lowest point brought about by you Oh, you'd give up the world Just to feel the earth fall away beneath your feet But I'll wait right here for you You'd give up the world, but the world is here Waiting for you to outstretch your arms Waiting with bated breath, for you to realise That you're worth more than the value you've placed on yourself You're worth more than that value You'd give up the world, but the world is here Waiting for you to outstretch yours arms Waiting with bated breath, for you to realise You're worth more than the value you've placed on yourself You're worth more than the value, you've placed on yourself You've placed on yourself

Straight up! (Just take a look around) Look what you're leaving behind (Get rid of the glare fused, with lightning strikes) It burns me alive Fold your arms, like sedatives, and bleed it out Not with your suicide, but with a dream We'll all sing! We'll all hail the end! High hopes will burn that rope and bend the blade (Just remember!) That broken chairs aren't vessels for escape They're just reminders of what we waste And all this talk of dying (Take, take a look around!) We all feel, like dying, sometimes! But the, courage, to go on, to keep living! Is the more admirable, choice! High hopes will burn that rope and bend the blade (Just remember!) That broken chairs aren't vessels for escape They're just reminders of what we waste And all this talk of dying, is.. just getting old... All of us feel overwhelmed sometimes And there are people who think about suicide The difference is we don't do it Because once you do, everything is over... Straight up! We are here, to give you, the chance! To turn your, broken hearts into smiles again!

Don't you, think it's strange How we speak to ourselves when everything is falling to pieces? Like molten lead to water We fall apart and fragment Always tearing ourselves in two And hiding from regret Always tonight and never last night, baby You know it's all we have to get us through So fucking sure that this will never end New friends, new days, new nights We'll make it through On my own I learnt to feel it, and together We learnt to kill it On my own I learnt to feel it, and together We learnt to kill it It's strange, these thoughts and how they come together And how I want to kill it And let forever die These things I need to grieve and then I grieve And then start learning as tomorrow slips on by Always tonight and never last night, baby You know it's all we have to get us through So fucking sure that this will never end New friends, new days, new nights We'll make it through On my own I learnt to feel it And together we learnt to kill it On my own I learnt to feel it And together we learnt to kill it On my own I learnt to feel it (On my own) And together we learnt to kill it (Learnt to feel it) On my own, on my own Always tonight and never last night, baby You know it's all we have to get us through So fucking sure that this will never end New friends, new days, new nights We'll make it through
