lyrics

(Intro: Jacob Stone)
Thank you! Thank you!
We have a special guest for you tonight!
Everyone welcome on stage!
Jack...

(Verse 1)
Now I know where I’m heading now
Fuck the present, I’mma go inside my head now
Haven’t got a single care I wanna give
Stuck inside a life that I know I haven’t lived

I don’t think that I’m better, any better than you
But the way that you act, I swear you think it ain’t true
I don’t fight, I defend, I’mma fighter in spirit
And I’d give every little titbit just to stand beside you

All these faces staring at me, yeah I know that they pity
I don’t need your fucking smiles, I’mma stand in my city
Inside my head, I’mma king, but I still ain’t a god
I need you up in here even though I know that you’re gone

And now you’re standing in my dreams, telling me that I’m fine
No I’m not, I swear to fuck, I’m fucking sick of my mind
My decisions are shit, and I’m falling apart
These people ain’t real, now where do I start?

(Chorus)
My future ain’t bright, and it’s clear to see
I live in memory
I’ve tried my best, but I’m sick of me
I live in memory
My life is fading, and I’m setting free
I live in memory
The light is fading, ain’t got no dreams
Now they’re full of memories

(Verse 2)
And I know I’m never waking
From a life I know I’m wasting
What else am I to do?
I’m cursed with this shit, you haven’t got a clue

It isn’t fair! I never made this decision!
No-one wants to hear a cry from someone in my position!
They always lie to my face to tell me what I am thinking!
I guess I gotta say it straight to save myself from the sinking ship!

Live my life in my head!
Every single dream that I’ve got is fucking dead!
From the moment I was born, I was destined for death
I’m a shell cuz of all things I’ve never ever said

Instead, I’m silent all the time and I’m a liar
I just wanna scream into the sky, I’m a pariah
I know who I am and I can say that I’m in dire need of help
Burning in this fire, come pull me out

Through the window, I was hoping
Thinking of the blur up ahead, my eyes are open
But I see you in my head, in the plains, when I close them
Every night I’m with you, I wish I could show them

My memory is short, but inside it’s expansive
And my life is a mess but somehow, I can still stand it
When I’m living in a dream, I can finally feel
It’s like some place in my head, with a crowd who cheer
When I die, I hope I’ll live it for real, with you

(Outro)
Live it for real, with you
Live it for real, with you
