lyrics

his heart sank as the sun came up
he knew today was the day
shaky hands gripped a coffee cup
external signs of eternal pain
rose from his seat and drew the shades
to black out his slow decay
for six months he'd felt this way
desert leaves that begged for rain
it never came
misunderstood as a young man,
written off as a classic case
they thought his promise was a hollow threat
type two til his final breath
and there's plenty more just like him
there's a sickness in the world today
it's not something you can medicate
from broken hearts to broken homes
to all the kids who died alone in their rooms
you'll catch us swinging from the ceiling
cause they numbed us out
but hear me, those who fell can rise again
we'd do anything to dream again
hear me, those who fell can rise again
it's all thanks to you that
we're all throwaway kids
and there's plenty more just like us
there's a sickness in the world today
it's not something you'd understand
from broken hearts to broken homes
to all the kids who died by their own hand
you paint such a pretty picture
these afflictions are inscription
when death starts calling out your name
just laugh in its fucking face
the only thing that kept me from an early grave
was knowing I'm not alone
you're not alone
we're not alone, we're all throwaway kids
