lyrics

Is it really all that bad
I've almost buried all the shame for that
Coach me through it and say it's okay
There's no excuses for acting this way

All my demons dressed as angels
So the public won't notice my fake credentials
Take my secrets, make them commercial
I'll dig up all the dirt and then you won't have nothing on me

How do you help somebody
With the same symptoms as you
Do you just lie and say it's alright
Or do you try to make them laugh
Remember why we're all alive

All my friends, we all got baggage
And it gets heavy and it gets manic
Why it's this way, well I couldn't tell ya
I guess we all got a few wires crossed
I guess we all got a few screws loose

I wanna dance like an old revival
And lose myself, just break this cycle
Lift my hands, twisting, shaking
A celebration, not just survival
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
I swear it's a beautiful life
Just don't die tonight
