Fix the problems in between the walls that are my skull, Stop the words that pour from my lips when I'm tired. And I don't know how to fix the problem in my brain, But I know that it takes time, it takes time. If you wanna fix me, baby, Come on closer, We'll give up all our time. And if you wanna help me, baby, Come on closer, We'll give up all the gifts that God gave us So we can buy ourselves more Time. Life seems to be heading down a steep and narrow road, I try to straighten out my thoughts, to no avail. And I gotta screw my head on right, see straight ahead. But I know that I'll be fine, I'll be fine. If you wanna fix me, baby, Come on closer, We'll give up all our time. And if you wanna help me, baby, Come on closer, We'll give up all the gifts that God gave us So we can buy ourselves more Time.

I'd like to take a moment out my day, To hear you out, to hear the words you say. I won't pretend to know a thing about, The way you look at him. For someone like you to give in to that, Something must have gone wrong. Things don't feel quite the same now, And the nights are getting long (too long). I'd like to see the fatal flaw in that, Your neat little revenge plan. You turned your back On all that you stood for, Look where you're heading now. For someone like you to give in to that, Something must have gone wrong. Things don't feel quite the same anymore, And the nights are getting long (too long). Bring attention back to the woman who dies without a name, (dies without a name) Look at what you're doing to your sisters in their chains (sisters in their chains) Understand the consequences of your own agenda, Acknowledge the damage. For someone like you to give in to that, Something must have gone wrong. Things don't feel quite the same anymore, And the nights are getting long (too long).

We can stay here all night, And watch shooting stars fly by. Picture the perfect world One without the baggage Of last century’s damage, Without the fear of dying young. And as quick as we return to Earth It seems we disappear, Doesn’t it seem frightening? We’re teenaged lightning. In a flash of coloured smoke we’re here Embracing the thunder, Of a world gone under We're teen, we're teen, we're teenaged lightning. We're teen, we're teenaged lightning. We're teen, we're teenages lightning. So you bring yourself close to me. Whisper in my ear and set me free. It doesn’t feel right to be alone When I'm not with you I feel I've left home. Thank the stars we’re alive, Walk with me, we'll watch the others Pass by, drive by, walk by. And as quick as we return to Earth It seems we disappear, Doesn’t it seem frightening? We’re teenaged lightning. In a flash of coloured smoke we’re here, Embracing the thunder Of a world gone under. We're teen, we're teen, we're teenaged lightning, We're teen, we're teenaged lightning, We're teen, we're teenaged lightning.

Jacko 02:48
You took the good times and the bad times, and you pushed em' all down into one, and you took em' all away with you when you left. The good days, the bad days And the tricks and the nicknames, the words and taunts you'd say, Just to wind me up. The long nights and the bad advice, and the bad plans, bad thoughts that we all had when we thought we were giving up. Jacko, you don't know what you've done, to my thoughts and to your meds. Jacko, I want you to fix them, but you're already halfway dead. Jacko, please don't let me stop you, I'm just sick of losing friends. Jacko, I can't help you fix the problems settled in your head. We'd share cigarettes outside in a- -bandoned buildings, and we'd sit down on the concrete, beside the bugs that crawled around. Cardboard and the plastic sheets, and the metal bin where we hid our treats that helped us see tomorrow, if we used them carefully. Do you remember the talks we had? Conversations about being sad, and the holes we couldn't dig our way out of, after falling in. Jacko, you don't know what you've done, to my thoughts and to your meds. Jacko, I want you to fix them, but you're already halfway dead. Jacko, please don't let me stop you, I'm just sick of losing friends. Jacko, I can't help you fix the problems settled in your head.

Untitled 03:30
And all the drugs Never got you anywhere Except face down in the dirt, Just ripping out your hair And you sure Lost a lot of weight I don’t think I can bring myself to care My dad he told me Not to drag along The ones who break you, hurt you, diss you, Drag you down into the mud. I think you might be becoming that. I don’t want to say goodbye But it’s just self preservation Did you ever stop to Consider dying young? Did you ever stop and think that You’d be looking down on us? Did you ever stop to think I’d be cutting you out and writing a song. Did you ever stop to think That you’d be the one that’s in the wrong? Now you’re just a casualty Another statistic, A damaged teenager Standing in the light of something You can’t bring yourself to be brighter than. Oh, I hope you manage soon. It wears me out to think of you. Did you ever stop to think To consider dying young? Did you ever stop to think You’d be looking down on all of us? Did you ever stop to think I’d be singing this song and cutting you out? Did you ever stop to think You’d be the one that’s in the wrong?
