Carl Goes to School

Hello friend
I run my mouth against these walls
Hello friend
I was down when you were gone

With all on my shoulders
The echoes they told me
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
The symptoms I'm showing
Check my vitals and told me
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
Yeah

Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh

Hello friend
You know when
You're gone it all can seem a little cold and
With all that I've been holdin'
I'm just trying to create some
Safer places in my mind that I can take hurt
Can you hear me in the distance?
Screaming for existence
Rumors in my head are so persistent
When I'm heading for a breakdown
I'm just hoping you might show me the way out

With all of these sessions
My therapist stresses
I'm still alive
I'm still alive
All out in the open
Don't know if I know that
I'm still alive
Still alive

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-oh-oo-oh
Oh-oo-oh

I've been holdin'
I've been holdin'
I've been holdin'
I've been holdin' onto somethin' new
Holdin' onto somethin' new
I've been holdin'
I've been holdin'
I've been holdin'
I've been holdin' onto somethin' new
Holdin' onto somethin' new

Hang my head when I see you
Knowin' well that it means if
I can't hold the weight of the pain that it brings that
It could pull me under
Reaching for the ceiling just to feel it
Cryin' out for a friend please
Hold me 'cause I'm scared of the way the road is ending
Then I feel the words that somebody else had sent me
"Listen to me carefully"

Know I always see you
When you feel it I feel you
You're still alive
Still alive
When all starts to press in
Answer the question
Am I still alive?
Am I still alive?
Oh, oh

Hello hello hello and I told you
Hold up hold up hold on til I hold you
And I'm still alive
Yeah I'm still alive
Hello hello hello and I told you
Hold up hold up hold on til I hold you
Well my therapist told me
When I'm older I'd forget the old me
Hello hello hello and I told you
Hold up hold up hold on til I hold you
Oh I've been holdin'
No-oh-oh I've been holdin' holdin'
Hello hello hello and I told you
