The people here are crazy 
They're trying to bring me down 
But I can't let them faze me 
I will not leave this town 

They're trying to get in here 
But they don't have a key 
The windows and the walls here 
Are big enough and thick enough 
To keep them from me 
Come inside and set you free 

Taking you hostage 
Was easy in my dreams 
But now that you've lost it 
It's harder than it seems 
Take me away 

The night before the morning after 
Is always darker than it seems 
You recognize the patterns 
But you don't know what they mean 
And if I had a handle on you 
I'd carry you from here 
And if I had a handle I would 
Turn back the gears 
Give myself another year 

Taking you hostage 
Was easy in my dreams 
But now that you've lost it 
It's harder than it seems 
Take me away 

I'm going to make you pay 
For what you took away 
You kicked away the chair 
You broke me on a dare 
And it's not fair, but no one cares 

Tell me I'm the only one 
Tell me you're still having fun 
And tell me that the world is going to end 
With not a whimper but a crash and burn
