Launch Platform

(verse 1)

I'm giving it all that I've got

the passion burned a hole

where my heart used to be

I gave you all of my best years

they weren't even that good

and would sell for only three pennies

I desire to talk to someone new

who doesn't know me

and would find me interesting

in a perfect world

I would be perfect

magazines would want to know all about me

(chorus)

stand back really far I'm about to launch

maybe I'll go to outer space or further more

I've done all the damage that I can do here

the only thing left to do is find somewhere to disappear

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I'm giving everything I didn't before

they look at me weird

like they've not seen desperation before

everyone plays by different rules

I play by myself because I can't find their key

I realized something

destruction is beautiful

if I do it to myself

then no one gets hurt

come in without knocking

and see only what you want to see

if you were me

then you'd know what I want to be

(chorus)

this time I'm going to explode for real

leave the bits and pieces of me on the floor

would anyone even care if I was gone?

nothing more than a blur in a once perfect memory

(end chorus)

(chorus)

they all sit back and talk

like it's easy to just up and walk

one victory means they know it all

I haven't had my big break yet

it'll be glorious and life will reset

it's useless to just sit and watch

it's easier to wish

but it doesn't matter

none of it will come true anyway

I'll sit in my bedroom like reality

and watch whoever is on TV

I've come to realize it doesn't matter, oh yeah

(end chorus)
