Reaching back into the cabinet for the stash of meds
Get up off my ass and put this fucking class in past tense
Vision blurrier than, damnit, fucking glasses
And I'm acting so abrasive now
Mind spacin' quick as auctioneers get a statement out
I know nobody's out for me
Busy making dollars off of sounds while they're sound asleep
Used to ride alone, now I got a crowd to please
See the stakes is higher then a balcony
Count to three, it's all done
Life passed me by in an afternoon
Bout to kick and crack the lid off the time capsule soon
Buzz, talk, commotion, floating like I'll touch the top the moon
Raking funds like farmer's do, an arsenal of garden tools
I wanna make a mark for you, I'll put you in a safer place
I say "I'll see you soon" and when I wait, it's not for patience sake
My mind's eye, staring at your face when I lay awake
Incapable of taking breaks
I can't be the hero
You want me to be
There's darkness beneath now I can't take the leap
I picture the future and it looks so bleak
But you're smiling at me
Be the hero
You want me to be
There's darkness beneath now I can't take the leap
I picture the future and it looks so bleak
But you're smiling at me
I've been waiting on somebody to come along
And tell me that I'm wrong
You got some way of keeping me honest
When it's something I can't see the harm in
I've been waiting on somebody to come along
But nobody knows the song, not like I know
Skipping the high notes, I
Get scared for a minute and it takes me right back
I swear I'm committed, then you sing it like that
It sounds just a little too easy and that's how I know
It's a trap, it's a bad thing
So sweet, so simple, so it can't be just that
Somewhere in the middle of the white and the black
If I tried to be sad, and my life's out to get me
Evidently, it's full or it's empty
