[Verse 1]
I want you to be at peace, I see you mask the pain
How long can you keep it up inside a hyper brain?
When you're comin' down and crashin', I won't look the other way
It's gonna happen one of these days
He's only gettin' busier, the shrink is off his head
You think you're at your happiest, you threw your money away
My friend is on a mission and he's setting it ablaze
It's gonna happen one of these days

[Chorus]
You're backed into a corner full
Of cold in the dark, you're breakin' my heart
Strung out, what you doin', player?
Playin' fragile games?
This world has got a hold on you
They're wearin' them scars, not playin' guitars
Strung out, what you doin', player?
We know you're actin' sane

[Verse 2]
It manifests inside ya, I see you're out of touch
What's left to talk about and how long will it take to bust?
The tension's growin' heavier, you're flowin' in a rush
And I can't be behind you if you run the other way
You think they got your back, but how much do you trust?
Let's take a look through memories, there's nothin' there you love
We're livin' up and high and usin' again
Losin' your sight, you been makin' new friends
Never been one to be chasin' another
But don't forget us, my brother
[Bridge]
If you wanna drive and go the wrong way
And you don't wanna put the brakes on
Then I'm telling you, you're gonna crash one of these days
Your eyes are looking heavy so I think it's necessary
Let me help you turn the lights on
'Cause I'm telling you, it's brighter this way

[Chorus]
You're backed into a corner full
Of cold in the dark, you're breakin' my heart
Strung out, what you doin', player?
Playin' fragile games?
This world has got a hold on you
They're wearin' them scars, not playin' guitars
Strung out, what you doin', player?
We know you're actin' sane

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
But I just wanted to say, ah
But I just wanted to say, ah
But I just wanted to say, ah
But I just wanted to say, ah
I just wanted to say, ah
I just wanted to say, ah
