The phrase "it's a slippery slope", I'm told, Is nothing more than fallacy But why is it when I let myself go, My senses don't come back to me Complacency It's an act that happens so rapidly, oh no No one is free From the throes of taking it easy Oh, woah I can't believe how hard I've fallen To think, woah That I used to be at the top I built this tower with diligence But the fall happened so naturally And the path of least resistance Is trudged on by the guilty Health, wealth, good deeds and morals Are at the top of my list But when I just take a measly break All my hard work ceases to exist Complacency Funny how it happens so rapidly, oh no No one is free From the throes of taking it easy Oh, woah I can't believe how hard I've fallen To think, woah That I used to be at the top I built this tower with diligence But the fall happened so naturally And the path of least resistance Is trudged on by the guilty This isn't me I was used to climbing the mountains Not fearing the molehills (x2) This isn't me I was used to climbing the mountains Now I fear the molehills Oh, woah I can't believe how hard I've fallen To think, woah That I used to be at the top I built this tower with diligence But the fall happened so naturally And the path of least resistance Is trudged on by the guilty Oh, woah I can't believe how hard I've fallen To think, woah That I used to be at the top I built this tower with diligence But the fall happened so naturally And the path of least resistance Has made me feel so guilty

Undisprovable, the eeriest concepts You can’t deny They break your mind, and so Seeds of doubt remain forever planted It’s by design I see the signs, always I don’t trust a soul This fate I have sealed Since I’ll never know If they’re even real (Chorus) Every trick of the light Throws me into the darkness When I fall asleep I’m scared of my dreams Were they real? Even with all of my might, I can’t shake off these feelings This vile disease Makes a coward of me I’m not sane Can a fish’s eyes ever deceive him? He’d never know He couldn’t go risk it He can’t trust a soul Lest he’d turn to bones (Chorus) Paranoid It’s obsessive Some questions Can’t be answered How could I Stand a chance, oh Am I alone? (Chorus) Was it a trick of the light?

Power flowing through my body Coursing through my veins like it's a drug Electrons from a plug My muscles being tugged outward Supersonic, speeding through the Little things I never could have done It's faster than a run A mental megaton, like nothing "I wish things could be like this perpetually," I whisper aloud My body is a cloud I've never been so proud of me Not sure if it's mania, my diagnoses never have been clear But I won't interfere Lest it would disappear, momentum Immoveable object Please, don't let me stop Losing steam, I feel I'm crashing I hope I can understand my pain A plague upon my brain It's trying to contain my spirit Weight is pressed upon my shoulders Creeping from my crown down to my toes And only heaven knows If this will be imposed forever Feeling like a nuissance Wish I wouldn't stop Give me back the time my mind has wasted Lying, sprawled out, crying in my cell And the clock strikes 4, my soul is fading Stewing in my unproductive hell "Get used to it, this is chronic. Do your medications work at all?" A vilifying call It's making me feel small and helpless Knowing how you think of me, I'm shocked you haven't blamed all the caffeine I'm sorry I'm so mean But you know what I mean, don't you? Call it mid-day sadness I wish this would stop Is this really what my life has come to? Wake up, eat, sigh, sleep, rinse and repeat Though I'm always sad, I have it easy I apologize, I'm incomplete Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Give me back the time my mind has wasted Lying, sprawled out, crying in my cell And the clock strikes 4, my soul is fading Stewing in my unproductive hell Is this all I will ever amount to? Hoping that this path of mine will change Even optimists have our limits I'll trudge on, my life I'll rearrange Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop Start Stop

Sweet bright-eyed child you will learn Every life meets its end at the urn Terrified you'll turn to the things you'd never believed Hoping God gives you mercy For the things I've said And the things I've done And the demons I gave in to And now that I believe I will live forever Can one be born without a soul? Is there a chance I can't be whole? Does God know my mind betrays me? Praying has become so scary This eternal life Leaving me behind All the ones I love Wonder where I've gone Could this be my fate? Or that I have strayed? And have I been Doomed from the start? Could this be my fate? And have I been Doomed from the start?

Small world of my past I've grown quite a bit since I've seen you last I haven't been around I'm always in some different part of town, but Every now and then I miss the days when Everything I needed was nearby Although I had taken it for granted I look back on those times with a smile Oh, take me back to when I'd mess around in class with all my friends Oh, I'd love to read again And draw all my art with a ballpoint pen Though I don't want to be here forever We all need to grow up's what I mean But I periodically remember How much I loved being 14
