Lyrics
Extraordinary Despondency
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why don't you burn me at the stake like
I'm some kind of martyr
Cause all that's left of my life is pain and disaster
They'll send out a warrant and then they'll come after
To capture the dragon to put out the fire
If you leave the door open you'll be hit by the riot
But live with it shut and you're life will stay quiet
You captured the castle while I hid in silence
You carried the weight of the world on a wire
Well stand together we'll stand at the edge
Holding each other before our last breath
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I always loved you
If you decide to jump jump jump jump jump jump
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I was proud of you
If you decide to jump jump today
For someone so misunderstood you were so understanding
And when my head was flying high you helped me safely landing
When dark crept in, I wanted to fall, but you kept me standing
But now your the one who needs saving tonight
You used to say I had no fear and my actions were reckless
But now it's you who's fears came true and I'm feeling so helpless
Now we're repeating history, it all seems so senseless
We're falling apart but the problems aren't mine
Well stand together we'll stand at the edge
Holding each other before our last breath
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I always loved you
If you decide to jump jump jump today
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I was proud of you
If you decide to jump jump jump today
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I always loved you
If you decide to jump jump jump today
If you decide to jump
I'll be the first to say I was proud of you
If you decide to jump jump jump today
