You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again

The angry boy, a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
Way too loud
Flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Everyone I know has got a reason
To say, "Can you put the past away"

Well, he's on the table and he's gone to code
Do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left you, you've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this and I
I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today you can (put the past away)
