VERSE 1
Hate me when I'm gone, I'll make it worth your while when I'm successful,
But for now I need your kindness, 'cause the climb is always stressful,
Clumsily gas myself by thinking I'll be better off alone,
I leave my peace in pieces all around the decent people back at home,

PRE-CHORUS
'Cause I'm a big boy, an adult now, well nearly,
If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly,
The world is at my feet and I am standing on the ceiling,
Whoa,

CHORUS
And I fall, fall, fall when it all comes down,
And I won't be crushed by the weight of this town,
I fall from the sky but I won't fall forever,
I fall, but when I rise I'll be stronger than ever.

VERSE 2
Official man, delusions grand, now I'm a free agent,
I'm here to make a stand for causes I don't understand and make a statement,
I fall short on knowledge, I don't even watch the news,
Can't be arsed with college, it's nothing but a human zoo,

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

VERSE 3
I'm not defeated, I believe that I can turn this ship around,
Destroy the status quo until I know I've found a common ground,
I'm not alone, I'm just focused, in my zone, this is easy,
I'm fine, I just need time to turn this into home, I'm good, believe me,

Believe me when I say I'm gonna be big explosions crack through thunderous mountaintops, exploding minds, volcanoes pop and blow - I'm not alone, I'm not alone,
Who am I kidding, I'm sad, no ideas come and it's driving me mad, and I'm frightened, it's turning me bad, I'm loaded,
Rage is taking me over, I just wanna be home with all my friends and family, mum and dad, it's closing in on me, I need recovery, coming home, I'm coming home and I need closure, I need closure...

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
