have you ever had the feeling
that you're just a little different
from everybody else
i know it's hard
i know you're tired
of listening to these people
tell you about your life
goodbye
so long
when you're here
i'll be gone
(repeat)

VERSE ONE - dietz
i've been feeling depressed
i've been feeling alone
i've been trying to be social but i'm feeling so cold
and it's hard to describe
cause there aren't the right words
to explain all of the apathy that's stored in reserves
and are you staying awake?
and are you feeling blue?
is it easier to love when i know you're suffering too?
cause i can't stay awake
and i can't go to sleep
so i write down stupid poems and pretend that they're deep
and you're not the one for me
and i say these words to myself when i'm sorry
CHORUS - dietz
everything
is gonna be alright
(repeat x2)
VERSE TWO - marcus conley
we still doing the same things
just a different day
we're just letting it pass
as time is ticking away
we think it's so black and white
in this world full of gray
or maybe it's color
whatever fills up the space
doesn't even matter
if i can't see your face
if i don't know your name
what the fuck is this place?
where the fuck are we at
i think im going insane
but we keep telling ourselves
that it's okay
and we don't know
what's the truth and what's a lie
we keep telling each other
that's it's gon be alright
it's gon be alright
CHORUS - dietz and (marcus conley)
everything (everything)
is gonna be alright (is gonna be alright)
everything (no no no no no)
is gonna be alright
(no no no no no baby)
(is gon be alright)
(is gon be)
(everything is gonna be alright)
OUTRO - dietz
everything
is gonna be alright
(repeat x5)

VERSE ONE
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know why i'm lying
i don't know what i'm trying to do
but i know
i know
i know everything is pointless
i wish i didn't have to see you
cause i'm not living
but i'm sure as hell existing
and it's hard to never despair
and it hurts even more
when i realize that my pain will never compare
ohhhhh (x2)
CHORUS
i wish i didn't have to say
i wish you could tell
i wish i could just pretend that i had fell
and when everything goes bad
when everything goes wrong
i'll be able to say that i knew all along
(repeat)
VERSE TWO
i am sure
i am sure
i am sure you don't know me
i am sure that you'll hate me when you do
but i know
i know
i know it's all in my head and if there was ever someone it's you
do you think that i will make it?
do you think that i've got what it takes?
do you think that we will make it?
do you think that we've got what it takes?
(repeat x3)
CHORUS
i wish i didn't have to say
i wish you could tell
i wish i could just pretend that i had fell
and when everything goes bad
when everything goes wrong
i'll be able to say that i knew all along
(repeat)

if you ask me how i'm doing i'll say that i'm fine
is it okay to fall asleep alone every night
every fucking feeling man i just i gotta destroy it
dodge affection like it's bullets fuck i have to avoid it
i've convinced myself to not care at all
convinced myself that she'll never call
so in the end who's responsible?
it can't be me, that's impossible
and i don't wanna, don't wanna admit that i'm wrong
so i'm just gonna, just gonna pretend that i'm wronged
and if i'm gonna live to worry another day
can't listen to my heart and let it lead me astray (okay!)
i'm telling you
don't try to get to close
i'm telling you
i'll work it out then choke
(repeat)
i won't try to find the words to say i'll work it out another day
(repeat)
if you ask me how i'm doing i'll say that i'm fine
is it okay to fall asleep alone every night
every fucking feeling man i just i gotta destroy it
dodge affection like it's bullets fuck i have to avoid it
and after every single person in my life is gone
i'll sit by myself and wonder what i did wrong
and if i'm the one that pushed everyone else away
turns out that my heart wasn't what led me astray (okay okay okay okay)
whoaaaa (repeat)
now that i've found out what is the matter with me
it doesn't fucking matter cause there is no way to change that i can see
so am i destined to live a lonely life?
who made me this way?
and can i survive?
i've convinced myself to not care at all
convinced myself that she'll never call
so in the end who's responsible?
it can't be me, that's impossible
if you ask me how i'm doing i'll say that i'm fine
is it okay to fall asleep alone every night
every fucking feeling man i just i gotta destroy it
dodge affection like it's bullets fuck i have to avoid it
(repeat)

i have no idea where to go
there's no one here who wants to be my friend
so sorry to have come
i'm a massive weirdo to everyone in swem
it's okay
i'll go to the dining hall alone tonight
sitting in the dorm room and i'm feeling depressed
walk around campus and i'm feeling depressed
don't wanna go home but i'm still feeling depressed
i can never fall asleep
but i also never want to lie awake
and during the day i'm doing fine
well that's a lie for my own sake
sitting in the dorm room and i'm feeling depressed
walk around campus and i'm feeling depressed
don't wanna go home but i'm still feeling depressed
and for the most part
everything out of mind is out of sight
but the hardest truth of all
is knowing that i can't go home tonight
