Flying off the top is great until you come back down
Landing is not near as nice when nothing is around
Break your neck and break your back and break up all your friends
Pull the band until it snaps and rips you in the end
Lose yourself just long enough to make you want to leave
What you want and what you need are never the same thing
Black it out from in your mind you know that it's not hard
Then one morning wake yourself you know you've got to far
Can't you see I'm burning these so you can find your way home
(Chorus)
You don't know
You don't know what I've been through
So shut it down before I knock you off your precious pedestal
Drop the rope
Drop the rope and wind your noose
Lock and load your gun don't you know that your gun is pointed right back at you
(Bridge)
Break innocent, guilty and spent
Can't we pretend we can pretend
Come back around come safe and sound
Come on your knees with your hands on the ground
(Chorus out)
