All I Want Is Everything

We are the good youth

We deal in dead truth

We only care about what we can amend

We paid our own dues

We slung our own noose

We wear our hearts upon our sleeves 'til the end

When I was born and raised

All I wanted was to feel the pain

I thought that everyone should feel this way

So I sacrificed my glory days

Now I'm here, I'm alive but barely I feel so contrived

A leaning tower of possibilities built up on all these lies

'Cause it ain't worth it, the grass is black

Will someone please just take me back

All I want is everything I've always had

All I want, all I want, all I want, is everything

All I want, all I want, all I want, is everything

So now I'm finally free

to be anything I want to be

I can't make my mind up on which me

That I really want the world to see

Because I'm here, I'm alive but briefly blinded by the lights,

When the flares die out my heart cries out

Is this all that's inside

It wasn't worth it, the grass is black

Will someone please just take me back

All I want was everything I've always had

All I want, all I want, all I want, is everything

All I want, all I want, all I want, is everything

I've lost my faith in what I always thought was everything

(And the confidence I crave, is all I need now to be saved)

And the false idols that I fought to be just

Like were all just bought and so I sing

(And the life I've always craved is full of crooked little hearts that can't be saved)

When I was born and raised

All I wanted was to feel the pain

All I want, all I want, all I want, is everything

We are the good youth

We deal in dead truth

We only care about what we can amend

We paid our own dues

We slung our own noose

We wear our hearts upon our sleeves 'til the end
