I'm used to being alright Paint pictures every night Make people fall in love with the outline Like shadows in the light I slip away and hide I drown with my demons, I know I'm not gonna face it and I don't know why (Don't know why) 'Cause I'm the arsonist and the forest fire Help me I'm running my mouth in search of solid ground I've been Building things up, I need to tear them down I wanna give up the ghost Stand here exposed Colour outside the lines Yeah, and light up my afterlife Been trying to play it safe We're taught to medicate Why'd you think so many of us waste away? This necessary evil I'm taking out the needle Been standing in my own way You know I wanna face it, but I don't know how (Don't know how) I'm the prison guard and the one way out Help me I'm running my mouth in search of solid ground I've been Building things up, I need to tear them down I wanna give up the ghost Stand here exposed Colour outside the lines Yeah, and light up my afterlife Light up my afterlife I'm the arsonist and the forest fire And I might suffocate but at least I tried Help me I'm running my mouth in search of solid ground I've been Building things up I need to tear them down Help me I'm running my mouth in search of solid ground I've been Building things up, I need to tear them down I wanna give up the ghost Stand here exposed Colour outside the lines Yeah, and light up my afterlife Light up my afterlife And light up my afterlife
