You Amcarry yourself 
Like a lDmion's in your pocket
But you Flack the simple courage 
To move Dmout of your parents' houseE  
(  E)
I'm calling you out!
You Amseem so sure
Without a Dmback-up plan
But I pierce the Fskin
And here we are, holding up Dmyour outer shell with Eboth hands
AmYou're stuck Emon the Cpath you built Gyourself to self-Fdestruct
And Eyou never stop
AmI can't help it
I won't let you Fbury yourself
DmBury yourself

AmIt'll all come back to you
Of thDmat you can't pretend
'Cause Flife has a way of equaling itDmself out at both endEs,

I'll say it again
AmYou seem so sure
Without a Dmback-up plan
Then you disappeaFr and here we are
Counting Dmdown the days that you're Egoing on both hands
AmYou're stuck Emon the Cpath you built Gyourself to self-Fdestruct
