What do you say to a man who wants to die
Do you talk him down gently, do you tell him the truth, do you lie
Do you ask him how he got here, do you ask why he hates to be alive 
Or do you look him in the eyes and say you'll be just fine

There are two ways out of every situation 
and this time I suggest the stairs
Cause we love you and we need you 
and we know you hate the rules to this game that has never been fair
Please take the stairs

Ask him some questions, he'll answer the best that he can
Does he think he's a failure, that he wasn't a strong enough man
Oh it's such a damn shame, you wish you could just reach his hands
Cause he's stuck on this ledge cause it hurts to wake up, but he's too scared to jump cause he'll land

There are always two ways out of every situation, and this time I suggest the stairs
Cause we love and we need you and we know you hate the rules to this game that has never been fair
Please take the stairs

The Stairs

Street Light

Verse 1:Watching every word fly from her teeth 
Like it’s a secret you can’t keep
These words cut deeper then you’d think

Talk about the boys you’ve kissed
I’m cringing at the details miss
I think you’ve missed the point of this, oh I think you missed the point of this

Prechorus: The friend zone is a window with a view that I can never get to
And I’m a red eyed green scaled monster trying to get through

Chorus: Fuck the friendzone
Fuck the friendzone
Not another goddamn endzone
It’s 4th and goal and now I know I’ll never score

Where’s the swagger
I had last year
Man it never seems to be there when I need it most
I start to choke
I’ll shut my mouth
And scare this hope away

Verse 2: Springtime watching sparks as they fly back and forth through glances
All these beautiful romances enough to make me sick 
Make me sick
Tell me what the chances are that we could ever get this far
You look down to the ground and speak up with the words you found

Prechorus 2:Tell me you 
You really like me, but we’re just too good of friends
 
Chorus 

Bridge: Give me some time to swallow this pride I had left behind in haste
What a waste, what a waste
And I’ll scream ‘hey HEY!”
I should have ran the other away
Oh what a fool I’ve been today 
With nothing left to say except
That you are the reason that I can not sleep
And when you tell me these stories of the company you keep
There is a fire in my spine that keeps me quiet as you speak
Yeah the thought of nothing more is enough to make me weak  

Chorus


Friend Zone

V1: I have a secret
Hidden under my skin
No I can't let you in
Not this time

I have my reasons
As crazy as they seem
Oh the thought of you and me makes me sick

Pre Chorus: Just shut your eyes and close the blinds, dear

Chorus: Pacing around with my gaze to the ground in this prison cell I built for myself
And I hope that in time these nightmares will subside
But my eyes are so wide and still teary from this search tonight in my head
Smoke and mirrors (It's never been clearer)

V2: I searched for reason 
In between these dusty lines
Taken out and replaced in time by God knows who

You told me to have faith
But my eyes have seen too well
What lies beyond this window sill cannot be claimed

PC: Just shut your eyes and close the blinds, dear

Chorus: Pacing around with my gaze to the ground in this prison cell I built for myself
And I hope that in time these nightmares will subside
But my eyes are so wide and still teary from this search 
Cause all I found were your footprints
Over stepped on, leveled cities
I wonder if you meant for me to kill my brothers in their sleep
Just because they disagreed 
Would that make you proud of me?
Oh I wonder

Bridge: Don't tell me how to see
When you're so blind already

And don't tell me what to think
When all these thoughts are sickening

And don't tell me how this ends
When you do not know anything

And don't tell me where I stand
When you yourself have lost your footing

I know where I'm standing
Away from smoke and mirrors
