Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up. Scream like you mean it.
Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up. Scream like you mean it.
"It gets hard sometimes.
But you've got to realize you're not doing half bad."
I say to myself to reassure my legs it's okay to get out of bed
with all of that anxiety that makes no sense.
It's like I'm stuck on a treadmill with no rest on the plastic.
Is my life really that inelastic?
I wish I
saw what they see in me
they're okay with my flaws,
but by the time I get done with me
could you locate the gauze?
Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up. Scream like you mean it.
Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up. Scream like you mean it.
Taking care of myself simpler said than done.
Won't stay in my own way wishing I had won.
Every person in here believes in me more than me.
With every one of them I feel the need to disagree.
Killing lack self-assurance is now what I aim to do.
With that new found confidence I'll strive to improve.
I don't want to be inelastic anymore.
I refuse to let that be what I stand for.
Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up, Scream like you mean it.
Stand up. Breath in deep. Run like you mean it.
You can't bottle it up. Scream like you mean it.
Don't stop.
I won't stop me.

Can I just one second to call you right now?
I cannot tell if what I did has somehow made you proud.
A moment of fearlessness and confidence I found.
There's a lack of simplicity in telling if I've made ground.
Please don't leave me hanging
on this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't want to change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Please don't leave me hanging
on this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't want to change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Why can't I read the signs of your emotions?
You make my heart sink down to the ocean floor.
So many thoughts in my brain and devotion.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
Should have lowered expectations everyone but you had.
The nights with you that I spent don't deserve to stay in the past.
No matter rib shots I took memories won't be bad.
"A final valiant effort" as described by my dad.
Please don't leave me hanging
on this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't want to change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Please don't leave me hanging
on this thin but strong thread.
I know you don't want to change me.
I guess I'll try to go to bed.
Why can't I read the signs of your emotions?
You make my heart sink down to the ocean floor.
So many thoughts in my brain and devotion.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.
I feel like I've been locked outside an open door.

It's time we strike back.
It'd be cool to connect, avoid alienation,
but I know that's my fault.
What's not is that you think my views are useless.
Tolerance brought to a halt.
Because we're trying not to care at all.
If we don't rise then we will fall.
Don't need your acceptance to feel like I deserve an anthem.
Never need your acceptance to feel like I deserve this anthem.
You're thinking the problem is I won't stand for
a life that's not for me.
I do not believe this place is what you dreamt of.
Our town will never set me free.
Because we're trying not to care at all.
If we don't rise then we will fall.
Don't need your acceptance to feel like I deserve an anthem.
Never need your acceptance to feel like I deserve this anthem.
Don't need your acceptance to feel like I deserve an anthem.
Never need your acceptance to fell like I deserve this anthem.
Every second counts until the day we die.
Now is not the time to show you've ever been shy.
