Hate me when I'm gone, I'll make it worth
Your while when I'm successful
But when I'm here I need your kindness
'Cause the climb is always stressful
Clumsily gas myself by thinking I'll be better off alone
I leave my peace in pieces all around
The decent people back at home
'Cause I'm a big boy, an adult now, well nearly
If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly
The world is at my feet and I am standing on the ceiling

And I fall, fall, fall when it all comes down
And I won’t be crushed by the weight of this town
I fall from the sky but I won't fall forever
I fall, but when I rise I'll be stronger than ever
Official man, delusions grand, now I'm a free agent
I'm here to make a stand for causes
I don't understand and make a statement
I fall short on knowledge, I don't even watch the news
Can't be arsed with college, it's nothing but a human zoo

'Cause I'm a big boy, an adult now, well nearly
If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly
The world is at my feet and
I am standing on the ceiling
And I fall, fall, fall when it all comes down
And I won’t be crushed by the weight of this town
I fall from the sky but I won't fall forever
I fall, but when I rise I'll be stronger than ever

I'm not defeated, I believe that I can turn this ship around
Destroy the status quo until I know I've found a common ground
I'm not alone, I'm just focused, in my zone, this is easy
I'm fine, I just need time to turn this into home, I'm good, believe me
Believe me when I say I'm gonna be big
Explosions crack through thunderous mountaintops
Exploding minds, volcanoes pop and blow
I'm not alone, I'm not alone

Who am I kidding, I'm sad, no ideas come
And it's driving me mad, and I'm frightened
It's turning me bad, I'm loaded
Rage is taking me over, I just wanna be home
With all my friends and family, mum and dad
It's closing in on me, I need recovery

Coming home, I'm coming home
And I need closure, I need closure
'Cause I'm a big boy, an adult now, well nearly
If I pull the wool back from my eyes I can see clearly
The world is at my feet and I am standing on the ceiling
And I fall, fall, fall when it all comes down
And I won’t be crushed by the weight of this town
I fall from the sky but I won't fall forever
I fall, but when I rise I'll be stronger than ever
