[Spoken Word Intro - over soft piano and light 808s] You know... people throw the word "friendship" around like it costs nothing. Like it means something. I been here thirty-six years... and I'm still waiting for it to mean something. This one's for everyone who knows exactly what I mean. [Verse 1] Grew up with faces that I'll never see again Special ed seats like we were just oxygen Teachers laughing while we're drowning in the system Numbers in a chair, yeah nobody would listen September come around, they rolled the TV in Watched the whole world collapse before I turned ten Two planes hit and one went down in a field That was the day I learned that nothing is real, yeah [ad-lib: woah] [Pre-Chorus] Thirty-six years and not one call came through Facebook silent like they never even knew Family ghosts and friends who turned to smoke Bottles and needles was the language that they spoke [Chorus] Friendship is a funny word to me Everyone I loved just let me bleed Sunshine state but darkness wore me thin Straight jacket life just pulling me back in Yeah, I been alone inside these four walls Waiting for someone who never calls Friendship is a funny word to me Everyone I loved just let me bleed [ad-lib: yeah... I know] [Verse 2] Florida heat but I was freezing cold inside Cigarettes every three months just to survive Only on the days I couldn't take no more Fought my way back just to lock another door [ad-lib: yeah] Church was supposed to save me, lift me to the light Pulled a knife out of my back in the middle of the night Betrayal wearing crosses, that's a different sin Realized staying home was how I'd live again [ad-lib: woah, yeah] [Pre-Chorus] Thirty-six years and not one call came through Facebook silent like they never even knew Family ghosts and friends who turned to smoke Bottles and needles was the language that they spoke [Chorus - Variation] Friendship is a funny word to me Tried to love but love just let me bleed Sunshine state but I was cold within Four walls became my medicine Yeah, I been alone but I found my ground Silence taught me things that people never found Friendship is a funny word to me But I'm still here, still breathing, still free [ad-lib: still here... yeah] [Bridge] Dinner table chains around my neck every night Four walls and a locked door, that's my only light He don't leave black eyes but the words cut just as deep Internet's the only world where I can breathe [ad-lib: woah] And I made it, yeah I made it through the dark Still got scars but I'm still beating in my heart For everyone who's sitting in that pain right now You can find your way out, I found mine somehow [ad-lib: yeah... we made it] [Instrumental Break - 8 bars] [Outro - melodic, fading] Friendship is a funny word Funny word, funny word... [ad-lib: yeah] I made it through Still here, still breathe Juice, this one's for you For everyone who never got that call For everyone still staring at four walls You are not your pain You are not your fall [ad-lib: we made it... woah] Four walls can't hold us forever Four walls can't hold us forever...
