We\'ll be your friends
We\'ll be your friends
We need you to make it
Lets see if you can take it
You can trust us till the end
I\'ll make believe
Because you can\'t see
Everything you\'ve done to me
Maybe you can
Maybe you\'re just ignoring
All the signs
We know that we\'ve all been here
It only hurts a second
But if you looked just like us
We\'ll be your friends
We\'ll be your friends
We need you
So we can get where we want
And we\'ll pretend
We\'ll pretend
That those nice days never ended
And now we\'re through
And now I\'m done
I don\'t want to be like you
I don\'t want to be locked in
This pretend game again
Not anymore
Not anymore
We are aware
Of what we did
We will keep you
We will
Never
Let
You
Go
Can\'t keep me here
Stuck in this prison
These flame pretending
That it\'s fine
Welcome to the show
I\'ve spent years learning how to play
Pretending in my most valuable act
This was all a lie
You proved that over and over again
No fun to play
Stuck here every day
Feeling trapped
Broken
And you want to pick a fight
Never learned the truth about yourselves
Any time I speak it\'s a game
Until I decided to play along
This is what I have to say
I\'ve been stuck here every day
Pretending it was ok
Pretending I still even liked you
The last few years
When I can barely tolerate
Because I\'d become a part of your band
I\'d become part of something bigger
So I thought
Now you have to take
Your own responsibility
For whatever your new plan may be
We are on every side
We are only on our side
We are hiding everywhere
We are in your head
We are placing words
Right where we want them to be
I\'m sorry
You\'ve been misinformed
You\'ve never had the control you seek
I just play my hands more carefully
Near you
Walk on eggshells
Legos building walls
Around the truths
I\'ve wanted to cry out for years
Don\'t you see
We are where your story ends?
It\'s a bright new day
And I have only begun
Thank you
For all you\'ve done
We\'ll be here to the end
The others haven\'t made the cut
We\'ve kept you so long
In spite of all your flaws
Look at all we\'ve done
For you
Look at all you\'ve done
To me
Lend us your hand
Lend us your talents
Lend us your skill
We\'ll make our dreams come true
They keep me running
Running
You\'re perfect for this occupation
So let us surprise you
We\'ll make you join the crew
You can keep running
We\'ll always find you
Haunted husks of who I once knew
It\'s not fair to keep delaying
Not fair to me to keep waiting
For you to decide suddenly
To get back to truths I thought I saw
Within you
Turns out I\'m more artistic than I thought
Because I painted you better than you are
In my head above the fire
Until that day
You
Chose to fade
You-
You try to hide
We\'ll be there
You try to hide
We\'ll be there
You\'ll find scraps of us still
We\'re in the fire but
We\'ll never melt away
We\'re here in the dark
Terrors living in your head
Voices reminding you
You\'re nothing without us
You\'ll be a hopeless guest
Inside your own head
Zero safety nets left
After realizing you never counted
There are places in the dark
In my head
Darker than you know
The tables will turn
Once you learn you\'ve been dead
For so long
You never stood a chance
Hatred still means we\'re here
You should have stayed
You need us here
Whether you want to admit it or-
It\'s been make-believe so long
Pretending it\'s all ok
But shadows became
The light
When the monsters lurk in plan sight
It\'s been a cold
And maddening decent
But you threw me into the hole to start with
Falling down further
Than perhaps you intended
But intent means very little at this point
Because now there\'s nothing left
Worse was I wanted to be part of this
But you chose to fracture the world
And leave me to fall down the crack
Now I\'m stuck on replay
Repeating words you said were ok
Because anything else is wrong
Even if it\'s honest
Behold the horrors
They hide behind the shadows of remorse
Maybe you\'ll find them soon
After you see how you left me behind
All the while you cling to me
Like a leach
We take up every shadow
The darkness is the stage
In which we live to be complete
If that were true
You\'d know how to handle mine
Instead of fleeing every time I show
Even the smallest hint of it
You may lurk in shadows
But thanks in part to you
It\'s all I know
The night consumes me more
The safety of dreams
The comfort of memories
I pretend aren\'t tainted by the sight of you
After you left me here alone
Watch your back
We\'ll be here
We\'re remind everyone
Of what you\'ve done
To us
To yourself
We\'re always here
We\'re always here
Haunting the back of your mind
Like phantom pain
Maybe I\'ll never escape
That\'s fine
As long as I remove the infection
Before it can get any worse
We\'ll always be your friends
This isn\'t the end
You\'re stuck with us
You won\'t make it through
At least I won\'t be just like you
At least now I can end this show
I tried so long
To sing you the right song
To make you see what I\'ve been seeing
To make you understand what I have
But I can\'t fix you
Nothing\'s broken
We\'re perfect how we are
You could have been one of us
There\'s nothing I can do
To make you whole
I\'m done trying to explain
Now the masks are off
The music\'s gone
This is what happen when you
Try to rely on someone else
The show is over
