[Verse 1]

Indifferent to

 the people I 

detest
       
But it harms m

e in a way

That even I cannot detect
            
In my own fles


h and blood
              
I think I've h


ad enough

(I think I've had enough, I've had enough)


I welcome deat

h with open ar

ms
              
Like an old fr

              
iend I haven't

  
 seen

Since I was young, when young was old
              
When daddy did

           
 terrible thin

gs
              
Maybe I'd feel

              
 better then, 

              
when I leave y

         
ou like this

(Don't let me leave, don't let me leave
Don't let me leave it all behind)
     
Oh, while some

 days are not 

that bad
              
Even pleasant 

          
one might say

I can't control the thoughts I have
              
I can't contro

              
l thе present 


wave of еmotio

n
              
Anxiously hopi

          
ng for somethi

ng or someone

For anything at all

[Pre-Chorus]
           
I can't imagin

e a life witho

ut familiarity
          
I can't imagin

e what it's li

ke to live wit

h certainty 
             
I like to rewa

tch movies

So I know the end of every scene
            
I know the end

 of everything

 I do

Because I won't ever leave my room
       
It's safer her

e, safety's al

l I want and a

ll I need
            
Buried my issu

es here, deep 

within

The walls and in my dreams
              
In my own atmo


sphere is wher

e I'll die

So, let me die in peace
            
I'm on my fina

l breath, my f

inal steps

I've never felt so free

[Chorus]
         
But my head's 

spinning
              
I can't help b

              
ut think of wh

       
o I'm abandoni

ng
              
And suddenly m

              
y chest cries 

       
out in pure pa

nic

It cannot end like this
              
I say with str


ength I haven'

t felt before

And that's when it finally hits
          
With my hands 

sweating

Climb down from the ledge 
              
I once saw so 

    
threatening

But it don't cause me fear no more
     
My fingers tou

ch the fabric 

of my jacket

Made of corduroy
    
Reminding me o

f Brentwood
              
And the things

              
 that I would 

             
die to see aga

in

[Instrumental Breakdown]

           
Die to see aga

in (g-g-gain)
           
Die to see aga

in (g-g-gain)
           
Die to see aga

in (g-g-gain)
           
Die to see aga

in (g-g-gain)

[Verse 2]
           
Woah, oooh ooo

h
     
My jacket made

 of corduroy
              
Oh I stand to 

              
lose my life, 

  
my soul, my ti

me
  N.C.
My home, my thoughts

My sweet and sour youth
            
I can't let go

 of who I was

But I can cut myself in two
            
And I can pick

 up all the pi

eces

And let everybody choose

[Bridge]
             
Yeah, yeah it'

              
s all in your 

              
mind, boy, it'

              
s all in your 

 
head
              
Leave it all b

              
ehind, you can

              
 finish when y

        
ou're dead

I'll be waiting for you here
              
When this madn

             
ess finally en

ds
     N.C.
Remember who you are
           N.C.
Don't forget her

[Chorus]
            
When your head

's spinning
              
Stuck in a roo

            
m with the tel

evision on

While you're tripping on shrooms
            
You got your t

houghts spilli

ng
              
But none of it

              
's true, it's 

    
a facade

Your heart can tear apart the parts that make it you

[Outro]
