And the challenge makes me mad And the challenge makes me nervous And the challenge breaks my back And the challenge gives me purpose There's always more to do until there's no more time for you You start to lose your cool when you turn 22 You said you'll change the world but now you're not in the mood How you gonna get the girl with that attitude? When the world is laughing will you accept the challenge? You added up the clues, the world is ending soon Keep lying to yourself and sing a happy tune You never took a break and now you're broken You never even leave the house, spend all day smoking When the world is laughing will you accept the challenge? You chased all your goals and it just made you old Too many sleepless nights when you don't have control You wonder if it all could be better than this Life is a precious gift why won't you open it? When the world is laughing will you accept the challenge? When the world is laughing When the world is laughing When the world is laughing Will you accept the challenge??? (and the challenge gives me purpose)

Going out to the grocery store Didn't really wanna but I know I had to get something to eat Ice cream and Oreos I know it isn't healthy but I needed it to get me through the week I know it isn't healthy Work let me go today Living with my parents until I get back on my feet Hope things end up okay Until then there's plenty more ice cream to eat I know it isn't healthy but I needed it to get me through the week I know it isn't healthy Stuck inside for weeks and nobody is calling me And I know why, I know why, I know I can't go outside but I miss everyone tonight Night and day feel the same Sleeping through the week with nothing too important on my mind Play lots of video games Brain is probably melting but honestly I'm really doing fine I'm getting drunk tonight Getting unemployment gonna party with me myself and I I see the morning light And I'm still buzzing man drinking makes the time go by I know it isn't healthy but I needed it to get me through the week I know it isn't healthy Stuck inside for weeks and nobody is calling me And I know why, I know why, I know I can't go outside but I miss everyone tonight Everybody's got a plan But the universe has it's own And it does not give a damn We gotta take it as it comes and take it as it goes Everybody is feeling sad We're all in this together but on our own Someday this has gotta end We gotta take it as it comes and take it as it goes Stuck inside for weeks and nobody is calling me And I know why, I know why, I know I can't go outside but I miss everyone tonight I know it isn't healthy I miss everyone tonight

It's all been more than I can handle When I get home could you light some candles We can summon up the boy I used to be That boy still enjoyed being me Lately I've been feeling hollow Now there's a bitter pill to swallow And I take it so I get to work on time And I take it so there's nothing on my mind Taking Zoloft for my mind Now everything is fine But I am never gonna come again Everyday begins the same And I've been staying sane But I am never gonna come again My grandparents had cigarettes And my parents had fast food You and I have the internet Screen time will destroy you Lately I've been feeling hollow Now there's a bitter pill to swallow And I take it so I get to work on time And I take it so there's nothing on my mind Taking Zoloft for my mind Now everything is fine But I am never gonna come again Everyday begins the same And I've been staying sane But I am never gonna come again Never dream and never cry I'm living though a lie And I am never gonna come again Mom will probably be mad I'll NEVER BE A DAD Cause I am never gonna come again Life is such a funny ride In the end you always die But you can't return it So I hope it's worth it You can call me anytime Tell me what is on your mind Even after all this You're still a good kid

(the worst things I do, I do to stay sane, and I stay sane to be good to you) Took an old friend To a theme park It was closing It was past dark And we lit up by a trash can It caught fire so we dashed and He said "you're kind of acting strange today" Like my actions matter anyway The worst drugs I take to numb all my pain I take them to keep me from hurting you Took a new girl To a hotel And I love her Hope it goes well And we make love til we wake up Then we check out and we break up And I barely feel alive today Like my feelings matter anyway The worst things I do, I do to stay sane And I stay sane to be good to you (embrace the illness)

If you thought you had it figured out I hope you realize you are wrong by now The only ones I know who are at ease are Those prepared to lose control The news is hinting major change But I'm worried it will feel the same Somebody will profit off of your pain Don't let it swallow you whole When this is through We all could use a drink And the first round is gonna be on me We got some pent up energy cause we been staying home And we're tired of being alone The weeks started to turn to months Night and day lost their effect on us Now the time it just keeps adding up And the lack of change is crushing Life will make you scream and shout Until you finally figure out That everything ends up just how it should And you stressed out for nothing When this is through We all could use a drink And the first round is gonna be on me We got some pent up energy cause we been staying home And we're tired of being alone Isn't it fun (to sleep all day) When you were gone (I tried to pray) Writing new songs (to feel okay) Everythings wrong When this is through We all could use a drink And the first round is gonna be on me We got some pent up energy cause we been staying home And we're tired of being alone
