[INTRO — LOOSE GARAGE GUITAR, BASS HUM, ROOM NOISE] Everybody says I look alright Guess I learned to lie just right [VERSE 1 — TIGHT, RHYTHMIC VOCAL] Smile for the picture Laugh with the room Nobody notices I’m barely getting through Shake every hand Say I’m doing fine Whole damn building Burning in my mind I know my demons They know me too They wait till midnight Then walk me through Every regret Every mistake Everything buried Still wide awake [PRE-CHORUS — VOCAL CLIMB, DRUMS BUILD] I keep breathing Like that means I’m alive Keep on smiling While something dies inside [CHORUS — HUGE MELODIC VOCAL, SHORT AND IMMEDIATE] DON’T LOOK TOO CLOSE YOU MIGHT SEE THROUGH ME I’M HOLDING ON BUT BARELY SAY THAT I’M FINE LIKE I BELIEVE IT I’M STILL HERE— BUT I CAN’T FEEL IT [POST-CHORUS — SCREAMED] I CAN’T FEEL IT! [VERSE 2 — HARDER DELIVERY, TRAP RHYTHM UNDER LIVE DRUMS] Morning comes I wear the disguise Coffee, dark shades Dead behind the eyes Everybody needs me So I play my part Holding the whole world With a fractured heart Phone keeps ringing I answer the call Funny how strong men Still fucking fall No one sees it No one asks How long can a smile Keep wearing a mask? [PRE-CHORUS — MORE AGGRESSIVE] I keep breathing Like that means I’m alive Keep on smiling While something dies inside [CHORUS — FULL BAND] DON’T LOOK TOO CLOSE YOU MIGHT SEE THROUGH ME I’M HOLDING ON BUT BARELY SAY THAT I’M FINE LIKE I BELIEVE IT I’M STILL HERE— BUT I CAN’T FEEL IT [POST-CHORUS — DISTORTED SCREAM] I CAN’T FUCKING FEEL IT! [BRIDGE — INSTRUMENTS COLLAPSE, EXPOSED VOCAL] Maybe I’m scared If I tell you the truth You’ll look at me different Once you know what I do When nobody’s watching And nobody’s there I fight with a version of me That doesn’t fucking care [HALF-BEAT SILENCE] [TYLER — LOW, CLOSE VOCAL] So when you ask how I’m doing… I’ll tell you— [EXPLOSIVE GUITAR HIT] I’M FINE! [FINAL CHORUS — CLEAN VOCAL BREAKING INTO SCREAMS] DON’T LOOK TOO CLOSE YOU MIGHT SEE THROUGH ME I’M HOLDING ON BUT BARELY SAY THAT I’M FINE LIKE I BELIEVE IT I’M STILL HERE— BUT I CAN’T FEEL IT [TYLER SCREAM] I CAN’T FEEL IT! [FINAL HIT] I CAN’T— FUCKING— FEEL IT! [OUTRO — AMP FEEDBACK, EXHAUSTED VOCAL] Everybody says I look alright… Guess I learned to lie just right.
