This is hell I'm positive, I can tell Because I've seen the real world And this place isn't as dark But where are your faces? Talk to me, we were born with lips to speak. And it's getting so hard to see I wish I could dream without my sleep And I'm surrounded by quicksand But I won't sink Why won't I sink? The product of an hourgla** Flipping back and forth In the hands of a broken man Yeah I belong In a world where nothing's safe to say In here I can't say, "Maybe, His reflection's stopped staring back at me." It's time to go We move too slow To get over the d**h of a loved one I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son." I'm here to stay, my son. And all of these walls Won't keep out my generation I will try to be who you want me to be 'Cause all you ever wanted was for me to be happy 'Cause this is my life And I'm not taking a single thing for granted These broken hands are wearing thin I belong in a world where nothing's safe to say In here I can't say, "Maybe, His reflection's stopped staring back at me." It's time to go We move too slow To get over the d**h of a loved one I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son." And I let myself fall, 'cause it's better than nothing Now I lay in the darkness to learn what light is to me And I have so much reason to write But the weight on my hands make it hard to pick up a pen And all I know is that I want you back today I found out the hard way These cracks in the highway won't slow me down Slow me down And then my heart gave out A hint of doubt told me, "I've tried all I can, I hope you understand." (I belong, I belong) I belong in a world where nothing's safe to say In here I can't say, "Maybe, His reflection's stopped staring back at me." It's time to go We move too slow To get over the d**h of a loved one I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son."
