Helpless she lies across the stairs Haunting your days, consuming your prayers. There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands
You told me life was long but now that it's gone You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock Called to be a rock for those below
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room Hold your throat is that healing that you're hearing in her tune Wanting change but loving her just as she lies Is the burden of a man who's built his life on love
You told me life was long but now that it's gone You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock Called to be a rock for those below
I'll be locked up and stored In the lavender ward 'Cause my mind is just like hers Just as broken just as crippled just as burned
And then I find myself on top as the leader of the flock Called to be a rock for those below
It's a feeling I've had many times before I can't hold the fort so don't give me more I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake When I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine
It's the same thing again But it could become a problem if We don't deal with it now And you blast off in another rant I've not opened my mouth Can you read my mind so easily As the madness sets in You must know that I'll follow you
A sudden movement and a broken limb The patches are there to show where I'm hit My fault is it now well that's news to me Curled and joyless we try once again
Could you get it back again? Would it be the same? Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense, Left you with no defense; They tore it down.
And I have felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same.
Locked inside The only place Where you feel sheltered, Where you feel safe. You lost yourself In your search to find Something else to hide behind.
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence. Did they see the consequence, when they pushed you around? The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones, Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown.
And I have felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same.
Refuse to feel anything at all, Refuse to slip, Refuse to fall. Can't be weak, Can't stand still, You watch your back 'cause no one will. You don't know why they had to go this far, Traded your worth for these scars, For your only company. And don't believe the lies That they have told to you. Not one word was true you're alright, you're alright, you're alright.

Helpless she lies across the stairs
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers.
There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand
As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands
You told me life was long but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
Hold your throat is that healing that you're hearing in her tune
Wanting change but loving her just as she lies
Is the burden of a man who's built his life on love
You told me life was long but now that it's gone
You find yourself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below
I'll be locked up and stored
In the lavender ward
'Cause my mind is just like hers
Just as broken just as crippled just as burned
And then I find myself on top as the leader of the flock
Called to be a rock for those below

It's a feeling I've had many times before
I can't hold the fort so don't give me more
I struggle and sweat when I'm wide awake
When I know I'm fine, I'm not used to fine
It's the same thing again
But it could become a problem if
We don't deal with it now
And you blast off in another rant
I've not opened my mouth
Can you read my mind so easily
As the madness sets in
You must know that I'll follow you
A sudden movement and a broken limb
The patches are there to show where I'm hit
My fault is it now well that's news to me
Curled and joyless we try once again

Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense,
Left you with no defense;
They tore it down.
And I have felt the same as you,
I've felt the same as you,
I've felt the same.
Locked inside
The only place
Where you feel sheltered,
Where you feel safe.
You lost yourself
In your search to find
Something else to hide behind.
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence.
Did they see the consequence,
when they pushed you around?
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones,
Breaking them 'til they've become just another crown.
And I have felt the same as you,
I've felt the same as you,
I've felt the same.
Refuse to feel anything at all,
Refuse to slip,
Refuse to fall.
Can't be weak,
Can't stand still,
You watch your back 'cause no one will.
You don't know why they had to go this far,
Traded your worth for these scars,
For your only company.
And don't believe the lies
That they have told to you. Not one word was true
you're alright, you're alright, you're alright.
