PUT ON MY SEATBELT SIT BACK AND LET THE UNIVERSE DRIVE
I DONT KNOW WHERE IM GOING BUT I KNOW IM ABOUT TO ARRIVE
IM NOT FEARLESS BUT I AM BRAVE SOMETHING BOUT THAT MAKES DEPRAVED
WHEN I DONT SEE MY OWN REFLECTION 
WHERE BODY MEETS MIND THERES IS DECEPTION
I WENT TOO DEEP TOO FAST FOR TOO LONG
AND I WOKE UP TO THE BEAT OF MORALITY
TO THE SOUND OF A BROKEN SONG
I MISS THAT PROMISE THAT COMES WITH YOUTHI MISS THE PACT I HAD WITH THE TRUTH
STOP AND GO CONNECT AT PAUSE WHERE THERE IS NO ANSWER JUST SAY BECAUSE

BECAUSE THE TREES IN THE BACKYARD ARE CYNICAL THEY BEAR NO FRUIT
THEY TELL ME LIES AND SAY IT'S FOR MY OWN PROTECTION
TELL IT LIKE IT AINT

NOW I CAN SEE IF LOOK CLOSELY 
HAVE A JOKE YEAH ITS ON ME (ooh...)
WHERE THERE'S ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION THERE'S ROOM FOR HUMILIATION
NO HARM DONE BUT NO GOOD COME OF IT HIGH ROAD BACKED UP SO I TOOK THE ONE ABOVE IT (ahh...)
I CAN'T BREATHE THE AIR THAT'S SACRED AS I LAY MY BODY DOING AND PLAY DEAD
TRADE MY CLOTHES FOR THE CLOTH OF A MONK
SAD PLUS CYNICAL EQUALS DRUNK (ooh...)
I CAN'T SEE WHERE MY HEART SUNK NO I CAN'T SEE WHERE MY HEART SUNK
IF THIS ABYSS IS BOTTOMLESS
A DANGEROUS KISS IS ONE CALLED HARMLESS (ahh...)
I'M NOT ALONE I'M NOT ALONE
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL MYSELF

BECAUSE THE TREES IN THE BACKYARD ARE CYNICAL THEY BEAR NO FRUIT
THEY TELL ME LIES AND SAY IT'S FOR MY OWN PROTECTION
TELL IT LIKE IT AINT

TO LOVE IS TO HATE TO HATE IS TO LOVE AND I HATE THIS DRUG 
LIFE'S SO CONFUSING, CONVOLUTED TAKE ONE STEP BACK AND YOUR LIFE IS SCREWED
IT TAKES A WHOLE VILLAGE TO RAISE A THUG
IT TAKES ONE PERSON TO SHOW YOU LOVE
TELL MY SISTER TELL MY MOTHER 
AINT GOT NO SISTER TELL MY FATHER
I MISS MY INNOCENCE IN MY YOUTH 
I MISS KNOWING WHAT IS THE TRUTH (ooh...)
I RUN AWAY FROM MY FATE SLEEP WITH THE DEVIL JUST TO FEEL SAFE
TAKING LIFE ONE STEP AT A TIME
MY FEET FEEL SORE FROM THE CLIMB 
SPENDING MY LAST DAYS IN THIS MAZE (ahh...)
TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT FEELS SO CRAZY

BECAUSE THE TREES IN THE BACKYARD ARE CYNICAL THEY BEAR NO FRUIT
THEY TELL ME LIES AND SAY IT'S FOR MY OWN PROTECTION
TELL IT LIKE IT AINT
