The Middle

I wasn't higher than I was supposed to be
 But the walls froze through then they shatter
 I'm partially peaceful sitting in an empty room
 While the lights outside never matter
 There's a bitter pill on the other side
 Smoky shaded space in a double-wide
 We could come to the middle
 Let it all pass through
 ♪
 I'm a pretender
 It's like bein' the morning sun
 All the lies I live make me wonder
 I had a bottle
 Filled it with the only one
 That could turn my nights into thunder
 How I wish it could be another way
 And I wouldn't stumble and go away
 Yeah, it makes you cry just a little
 If it does us any good
 I cannot see it
 And I am shaping a madness
 then it seems to mirror me
 While the world spins faster than ever
 And they say it's burning
 All the things you need to say
 You better get out now while you're limber
 Morning never cuts like I want it to
 There's a canyon in between me and you
 And I would bleed just a little
 And never be the same
 ♪
 Why am I so tired when all I do is sleep?
 Is it the same dream that I keep having?
 You were there with me lying in a naked seat
 But there was ample shelter and padding
 But the wind whispers in a darkened street
 Selling simple warnings to you and me
 Yeah it makes me die just a little
 A little every day
