Wake up, and smell the ashes
another day in hell
This place, is cracked and brittle,
but don't you wear it well?
You can't walk past a window and not wonder what it's like
to throw your weight against the glass and fall into the night
I've been on that ledge a thousand times with murder on my mind
and i'll show you how to save yourself, one step at a time
Don't look down
I'll show you another way out
Don't look down on me
for what I've done to myself
Safe and sound it seems,
didn't sound so safe at all
And I'll be alright
because I've earned these broken bones
Just don't look down on me
I had to do this on my own
What now? Your pills won't keep you out
just fucked up in your bed
Dry eyes can't wait for tomorrow
to hide it from your friends
You asked me for a favor as you stretched to kill the light
"Load one in the chamber, let the lead kiss me goodnight"
I've been in that bed a thousand times with murder on my mind
I'll show you how to save yourself, one step at a time
Don't look down
You're only fucked if someone finds out
Don't look down on me
for what I've done to myself
Safe and sound it seems,
didn't sound so safe at all
And I'll be alright
because I've earned these broken bones
Just don't look down on me
I had to do this on my own
Break down
Tell me about yourself
Is there something I should know?
Don't look down on me
for what I've done to myself
Safe and sound it seems,
didn't sound so safe at all
And I'll be alright
because I've earned these broken bones
Just don't look down on me
I had to do this on my own
