[Verse 1]

At a standstill

I was stuck in the middle

I feel no goddamn chill

Big deal, lighten me a little

'Cause it should never feel quite this real

[Pre-Chorus]

Blame me for stayin' on the subject

Blame me for missing how it was back then

Hate me if all I do is suggest

Hate me, and I could laugh

[Chorus]

But I'd rather keep my head low

I know they won't give me what I'm needin'

Even if I earned it

May as well treat like it's over

Build it and burn it

I think maybe you're right

I need to start to look at the bright side

It doesn't really work when you'rе blind

When you're dyin'

It feels like a lifеtime

I'd rather keep my head low

I know they won't give me what I'm needin'

Even if I earned it

May as well treat like it's over

Build it and burn it

I think maybe you're right

I need to start to look at the bright side

It doesn't really work when you're blind

When you're dyin'

It feels like a lifetime

[Verse 2]

Stand still, back in the middle

I'll cast no gravestone chill

Big deal, not even a little

Oh no, don't know what you feel

[Pre-Chorus]

Blame me if I've been acting suspect

Blame me for losing who I was back then

Hate me for doing this in public

Hate me, and I could laugh

[Chorus]

But I'd rather keep my head low

I know they won't give me what I'm needin'

Even if I earned it

May as well treat like it's over

Build it and burn it

I think maybe you're right

I need to start to look at the bright side

It doesn't really work when you're blind

When you're dyin'

It feels like a lifetime

And I could laugh

[Chorus]

But I'd rather keep my head low

I know they won't give me what I'm needin'

Even if I earned it

May as well treat like it's over

Build it and burn it

I think maybe you're right

I need to start to look at the bright side

It doesn't really work when you're blind

When you're dyin'

It feels like a lifetime
