Chemical Youth - State of Emergency

To the Anxious and weary just gather up here
I'll tell you all a story that'll shake you ear to ear
We've all had that someone that's ripped us to shreds
So cheers to the end game
It's just up ahead

If you've been broken like me
Torn apart like me
Stepped on by all of the ones you believed

I'm way too high to come back down
I'm way too lost to ever fucking be found

So breathe me in
I'll take you further than you wanna go
Cause I can't take another second of this conversation
Don't miss me when I'm the phantom in your memory
I'm haunting but it's clear to see
That you're no fucking good for me

S.O.S I need a sign
It's an emergency
We're filled with prescriptions to feed our addictions 
So here's to the dreamers and all of the outcasts
The whole world will hear us when we scream we've had enough

Life is short and you've failed me for the last time
Life is short
They'll say you died wanting what you can't have
Life is short

To the anxious and weary
I've gathered you here
To tell you there is hope
So never silence for anyone

So breathe me in
I'll take you further than you wanna go
Cause I can't take another second of this conversation
Don't miss me when I'm the phantom in your memory
I'm haunting but it's clear to see
That your no fucking good for me

Don't lose hope
I swear you're stronger than you'll ever know
Cause we can't take another second of this isolation
Take your aim
Don't miss your shot because you'll never know
I guess it's fucking clear to see
You don't know what this means to me

We put in all this effort just to find out we're replaced
So I don't want to hear that life is spitting in your face
They shattered me to pieces but I'll give it all I've got
I'll fight myself again just to be something I'm not

S.O.S
This is a state of emergency  
Don't tell me to calm down
I'll scream till I black out
Nothings impossible
Achieve you're unstoppable
We only get one life
So don't fucking waste it

You know what you want
You can take it or leave it
You know what you need
But does anyone care?
I know how it feels
To be hopeless and shut out
So I'll be your voice
We can make it I swear 

So breathe me in
I'll take you further than you wanna go
Cause I can't take another second of this conversation
Don't miss me when I'm the phantom in your memory
I'm haunting but it's clear to see
That your no fucking good for me

Don't lose hope
Cause we can't take another second of this isolation
Take your aim
Don't miss your shot because you'll never know
I guess it's fucking clear to see
You don't know what this means to me
