It’s alright to feel rejection sometimes
you never want to but it’s ok to do
it’s alright to feel small sometimes
you never want to but sometimes you do
it’s alright to have no one there for you
you gotta make your own way someday
and sometimes you’re forced to
it’s alright to be you
it’s ok to sometimes lose
it’s alright, it’s alright, it's alright
Jenny with blue hair was always picked on by her friends
They said she’d never be happy her life was a dead end
I know I know I know I know I know I know but I like the way I am.
You say your my friend but I don’t
think you’ll ever understand
I know it’s only words
I know it shouldn’t hurt
but it does
it’s alright to be a weirdo sometimes
maybe you’ll meet another weirdo too
cause it’s alright to be you
it’s ok to sometimes lose
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Johnny stayed in touch with all his high school friends
They grew up got married and had a bunch of kids
He stayed home and never moved out and got lost in his problems
now he’s alone, on his phone but he likes the silence
I know it’s only words
I know it shouldn’t hurt
but it does
it’s alright to be a weirdo sometimes
maybe you’ll meet another weirdo too
cause it’s alright to be you
it’s ok to sometimes lose
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
it’s alright to be a weirdo sometimes
maybe you’ll meet another weirdo too
cause it’s alright to be you
it’s ok to sometimes lose
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
to be you

hit the alarm looks like we're having a meltdown
it's hard to get a grip when there's nothing around
I don’t want to go out to feel the sun
In fact I’m boarding up, I’m shutting down
unplugging my shit, I’m going underground
you won’t be able to find me if you tried
I’ve got a lot of nothing without you
just a a pile of feelings under a happy go lucky smile
so forget about me
don’t get it twisted, I’m not a complainer
I just need to go away for a bit
figure out this noise inside my head
I'm sick of being notified about nothing
driving me up a wall, oh I'm running
I know it's hard and I get in your way
I know it's hard and ruined your day
there's too many voices, what the fuck is being said?
I'm all wound up and losing my fucking head
you won’t be able to find me if you tried
I’ve got a lot of nothing without you
just a a pile of feelings under a happy go lucky smile
so forget about me
forget about me
forget about me
you won't be able to find me if you tried
don't look at me like that, you're freaking me out
I'm a demon without a purpose
a bullet on a hair trigger
a clown who lost the circus
the hole you're digging is getting deeper
and the only thing I'm feeling
is nervous

well now I’m all twisted up
bent to hell there’s no setting me straight
I’ve got too many feelings tonight
and I jumped the gun
before I knew where to run
I’m cut to shreds
and they’re running dry at the blood bank
and I don’t think my heart can sink any lower
no I don’t think my heart can sink any lower
get me a one way ticket to another planet
I’ve got a lot of baggage but I’m traveling light
I’ve got a lot of baggage but I’m traveling light
I'm pulling the covers up and over
plugging my ears and closing my eyes
nothing’s gonna scare me tonight
In my mind I could practice what to say to you
a hundred million times plus two
it wouldn’t make a difference
In my mind I could practice what to say to you
a hundred million times plus two
It wouldn’t make a difference
but that’s not how it goes
(say something to them)
no that’s not how it goes
(take the first step)
that’s not how it goes
(say the first word)
that’s not how it goes
(spend years thinking about how you weren’t sure)

never thought we could be together
with all the hate and stormy weather
I’m not that brave, I should be running away
what did we do to deserve this?
never thought I would be thinking of you as much as I do
if you take my hand we can celebrate one more night
nothing they can undo if they tried because I love you
if love makes the world go round
we could be leading the pack
I’m not sure it’s ok to feel this way
but I ain’t taking it back
you’re the only one who makes me feel real
a heart beat under the floor boards driving me insane
I admit you're my unhealthy obsession, something I can’t explain
never thought I would be thinking of you as much as I do
if you take my hand we can celebrate one more night
nothing they can undo if they tried because I love you
if love makes the world go round
we could be leading the pack
I’m not sure it’s ok to feel this way
but I ain’t taking it back

sh-sh-sh-shut-up I don’t wanna hear you any more
sh-sh-sh-shut-up I don’t wanna hear you any more
shut up I don’t wanna hear you any
shut up I don’t wanna hear you anymore
shut up I don’t wanna hear you any
shut up I don’t wanna hear you anymore
you talk all this shit and I don’t wanna hear it anymore
do you even hear yourself?
it’s truly remarkable
well I don’t have much time left
I’ve had up to here with your shit
I truly mean it, no really, shut. up.
we don’t need to talk about it
all I’m hearing is utter bullshit
the bridge is burned, the lights are out
shut up
sh-sh-sh-shut-up
it’s like you don’t understand, what it is, I’m trying to say to you
It’s not a joke, I’m not going to forgive you
fuck off forever
well I don’t have much time left
I’ve had up to here with your shit
I truly mean it, no really, shut. up.
we don’t need to talk about it
all I’m hearing is utter bullshit
the bridge is burned, the lights are out
shut up
sh-sh-sh-shut-up

we were looking forward to the nights we had ahead
putting all we had in a moment held by another hand
I can’t tell from this
I can’t tell from you
is it even worth fighting for?
well I never saw a broken heart just mend itself
well we take what we want from 2002
at LSP with our heroes, hanging on every word
I said, dreams fall apart
life breaks your heart
take a moment and think that through
could mean nothing to me but everything to you
we make the enemy for ourselves
we make the enemy for no one else
we make the enemy for ourselves
we make the enemy for no one else
keep the pieces and make a brand new start
stick your neck out and don’t be afraid to take it on the chin
don’t let anyone knock you down
stay true and focus on what makes you you
one time for us
one time for you
I know it’s hard but you gotta follow through
make what you can
then move it on along
no one can stop you
if you focus on what makes you you
we make the enemy for ourselves
we make the enemy for no one else
we make the enemy for ourselves
we make the enemy for no one else
