Tell me about myself, tell me I'm alright
Can you just make time to please, lie to me, let's pretend that my life's not like
These broken voices inside my head, telling me wrong from right
In this gray f*cking world, when all I want is black and white
Let's stay up late, keep our secrets, bite our tongues
We'll fight our demons off, someday when morning never comes
When the voices in my head convince me to succumb
To the tragedy of reality, and my soul is finally numb
Can we slow down
Let's slow down
I'm not afraid, I know I'm never going to be alright
And I'm not ashamed, I'm finally going to give up the fight
If I put my guns down on the ground, disarm myself and take off the crown
Would it be enough to keep you around
Cause I just need you here
Let's take some time, to look back, let's talk about the past
Where I messed up, and what went wrong, or maybe how I struggled to belong
When did you give up, do they know you're gone, were you strong to long
Everything's okay, so ask away. As long as you're here, why don't you stay
I'm not afraid, I know I'm never going to be alright
And I'm not ashamed, I'm finally going to give up the fight
If I put my guns down on the ground, disarm myself and take off the crown
Would it be enough to keep you around
Cause I just need you here
