So We Begin 00:54

1, 2, 3, GO Dear father, how are you Well I guess I'm doing fine Now you're 6 feet under Never were a father of mine And I never met you, but I Guess that's just great Because if I had the chance to You'd be down in that grave anyways Chorus: Here's a letter to all my insecurities I wish you'd stay away So I could die with peace and dignity Hey there baby girl Well, it's me, your superhero Wish I could erase your presence Or I wish that you'd just come home You said you had to leave So I screamed, what about trust Now I'm stuck here in this hole While you're up there, doing god knows what Chorus (x2)

The Letter 03:23
"I hate this" To my best friend from out of town, you're still 2 hours away And you're still a quiet clown, and I"ll never forget the day I wish you the best, and boy I sure do wish you luck Could you do me a solid favor, and learn to not give a fuck To the sister I never had, and the one that I hold dear My apologies to you if I never made it clear You're headstrong, quick witted and so fucking smart Just know that I'll always be right there, deep inside your heart Chorus: They tell me it'll be alright That I'll get over this He's not worth starting a fight And she's nothing but a bitch These are my final thoughts to you all My wishes and requests I'm sorry but I'm getting cold And it's gonna have to end like this To the brother who's stood by me for these past 6 years Don't be overtaken by anger, come on man, let go of your tears It'll tear you limb from limb and rip you apart Don't let this be the end of you, in fact, let it be the start To the woman who has left me oh so goddamn torn I just can't go another day without you more You had to find another just so you could leave Please know in these last few moments That you left with the very best of me Chorus
4.
1, 2, 3 Let's hear ya scream 4, 5, 6 I don't want any more of your tricks These days it seems to be That all I'm living for is me Chorus: I'm a rebel, I'm a saint I'm a lover filled with hate A walking contradiction at every turn I am prideful, I've got shame Player One and I hate the game And every day, the sun, it sets the same I'm sorry I missed your last call But I was too busy drinking Guess I'll just have to miss the next 3 And I won't be reading the letters you've been writing Despite all the effort You've put into reaching me Chorus
5.
I'm alive (x3) I'm alone (x2) I'm alive (x3) I'm alone Closed eyes, closed minds These streets still paved with gold Stead fast, walk blind Unkind to this world we know Chorus: I'm alive so I've been told Your lights are out, so you must be home I'm alive so I've been told Your lights are out, so you must be home I'm lost, I'm found Severe each way out Laid brick by brick But these walls won't stand And every doubt that you have, is everything I am Every doubt that you have, is everything Chorus So we walked in your shoes With worn out soles Filled our cups of faith that Are filled with holes And we saw this world for what it truly is Saw despair for what it truly is Saw sorrow for what it truly is Yeah, we saw this world for what it truly is And not one faith's gonna stop the rain When the storm is gone we'll sing praise again (repeat x6)
6.
When that I was but a tiny boy With a hey, ho, wind and the rain A foolish thing, was but a toy But the rain it raineth every day When I came to man's estate With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain 'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gates For the rain it raineth every day When I came alas to wive With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain By swaggering, I could never thrive For the rain it raineth every day But when I came, unto my beds With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain With tosspots, still had drunken heads And the rain it raineth every day A great while ago, the world begun With a hey, ho, the wind and the rain That's all one, our play here is done And we'll strive to please you every day Hey, ho, the wind and the rain The wind and the rain (x4)

My gut still wrenches at the very news you see But who is it I kill now if the messenger is me? Well it's masochist behavior and I think it needs to end Only problem is I'm not functioning too well without you my friend So I'll just try to numb my pain with a drink or 17 Try to forget about abandonment and what I used to scream From the rooftops so high out in the middle of the night That I was yours forever and for once, I felt alright So I'll just dream of younger times, when there were better days Where we'd dance this night away with empathy in our veins Now reality is hitting, so much harder than a train Seems like I can't shake the voices deep inside my brain Cause I'm sick of feeling lonely, sick of always feeling down Sick of feeling so inadequate, can't turn it all around So sick of always talking, hell, I'll never take that step But I'll take the leap today so I can take my very last breath Don't know if I can take it, hell, already tried once Feel like trying again just to shut these thoughts up Maybe I should pull this trigger and lay here in my blood 'Cause the voices keep telling me "Boy, your pain's just begun" So please come won't you take me away Lie to me once again and say I'll be okay The more time that passes I'll have to admit The more that I think, I can't take it So please come won't you take me away Lie to me once again and say I'll be okay The more time that passes I'll just have to admit The more that I think, I can't do this
