Hello, are you out there?
Are you trying? Are you patient?
Are you with me? Against me?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Do you still remember, or have you forgotten where you're from?
Are you still scared of dying?
Scared of them finding out that you don't know who you are?
And I don't know what's in my head, but I know what's in my chest
I don't know if I can make it, I don't know if I can change it
But I know it's how I feel, even if it isn't real
I wanna feel alive, tell me, do you wanna feel alive?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (oh, I wanna feel alive)
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello (tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello (tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello (tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello (tell me, do you wanna feel alive?)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello (oh-oh)
Hello, hello, hello, hello (oh-oh)
Hello, hello, hello (oh-oh)
Since I was a little boy, I devised a windmill getaway
They kicked me in the mud, and they told me, "That's the price you pay"
So tell me, are you gonna die with the lies that they forced inside your head?
Or are you gonna live by the thorns in what you said?
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk
'Til you've packed up and gone away
"Little boy, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?"
For it's the fool who's the last to jump off the edge
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) one step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn about what they said
Since I was a little boy, I always had a tear upon my face
They'd hit me in the mouth, and they told me, "It's time to act your age"
So tell me, are gonna die in the pain that they all inflict on you?
Or are you gonna swim through the storm of what you have to do?
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk
'Til you've packed up and gone away
Little boy, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?
For it's the fool who's last to jump off the edge
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) one step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn about what they said
Little freak, gonna walk, they don't talk
'Til you've packed up and gone away
Little boy, stupid boy, what you after each and every day?
For it's the fool who's last to jump off the edge
But first, you'll go to hell and back
(One step) one step into heaven
Are you gonna be the fool who's the last to jump off the edge?
Don't give a damn about what they said
There's a chance I won't see you tomorrow
So I will spend today saying, "Hello"
And all the hopes and dreams I may have borrowed
Just know, my friend, I leave them all to you
That was powerful to hear that synth at the end
The lion looking down at you and I
We're on the back of all the mankind
All the war, the pain, and thus
Yourselves, don't forget yourselves
I'm missing out on all the love
I tried to write this song
That was really fucking good
I miss you, and I wish you'd hear this
A reverb after the chorus
