[DISCLAIMER: The Chorus of this song is not meant to be taken literally. If somebody shoots up a school or something because of it, do not blame me]. 

You hid before they saw you 
There’s no way to deny they could hear you grieving 
-Grieving over my plight 
What to do with people who won’t face the truth? 
What to do with people who play pretend just to feel good? 

I’d the perfect weapon, 
But I just didn’t know how to aim 
What do bullets mean 
When no one wants to pull the trigger? 
We’re not fit to make decisions 
We’re not fit to wear any crowns 
Point the barrel straight, 
And see if it lets ‘em walk away 

I’ve no concentration when I don the mask 
-Hard to hide 
My lips take rise like a quarter moon 
-A sickly, tilted smile—limitations choked 
Ends begin to fray and the snap provokes no control 

Could be a funeral today… 

I’d the perfect weapon, 
But I just didn’t know how to aim 
What do bullets mean 
When no one wants to pull the trigger? 
We’re not fit to make decisions 
We’re not fit to wear any crowns 
Point the barrel straight 
And see if it lets ‘em walk away 
Here’s to standing on water! 
Here’s to being kings! 
We can right all wrongs ‘cause we just believed! 

Know when I fall from the stone, 
You’ll think of what’s been done 
-Just hold onto what is left 
-Just keep your faith secure 
Don’t matter happened then, 
You don’t need your wings to fly 
Don’t matter what happens once you’ve reached the other side 

And when all the tops spin out of order, 
And when you’re standing here 
So far from grace, so close to judgement, 
You’ll never want to look much further, 
But impulsion’ll call you to! 
You’ll stare until your pupils run dry 

Just watch me fall from the stone 
No strings to hold me up 
The sacrifices I’ve made, 
I hope will be enough 
Don’t matter what happens next 
I don’t need no wings to fly 
Don’t matter how fast I sink 
It don’t matter 
It don’t matter
