A#             F    Dm       C
I don't know why I feed on emotion
A#                F           Dm  C
There's a stomach inside my brain
A#               F
I don't want to be heard
Dm             C
I want to be listened to
A#             F      Dm
Does it bother anyone else
             C              A#  F
That someone else has your name?
     Dm            C       A#
Oh, does it bother anyone else
         F                  Dm         C
That someone else has your name, your name

F          C
I scream, you scream
   Dm                A#         Gm
We all scream 'cause we're terrified
    A#                C
Of what's around the corner
 F           C
We stay in place
            Dm           A#       Gm
?Cause we don't want to lose our lives
          A#                 C
So let's think of something better.

Chorus:
A#           F      Dm            C
Down in the forest we'll sing a Chorus
A#             F     Dm  C
One that everybody knows
A#          F       Dm          C
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
A#              F           Dm  C
Singing songs that nobody wrote.

My brain has given up, white flags are hoisted
I took some food for thought, it might be poisoned
The stomach in my brain throws up onto the page
Does it bother anyone else
that someone else has your name?
Does it bother anyone else
that someone else has your name?

I scream, you scream
We all scream, 'cause we're terrified
Of what's around the corner
We stay in place
'Cause we don't wanna lose our lives
So let's think of something better (Better)
Oh

Chorus

        Dm
Quickly moving towards a storm
Moving forward, torn
In to pieces over reasons
Of what these storms are for
C
I don't understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
         F
Have you ever done that
When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
              A#
And then when just enough light
Comes from just the right side
And you find you're not who you're suppose to be?
Dm
This is not what you're suppose to see
Please, remember me? I am suppose to be
     C
King of a kingdom or swinging on a swing
Something happened to my imagination
                  F
This situation's becoming dire
My treehouse is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
A#
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned.

Chorus:
Down in the forest, we'll sing a Chorus
One that everybody knows, yeah
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote

Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire (Fire)
