So this song was apparently written when the boys were around 13 years old, and it’s based on Drew’s drak periods. I don’t know if you guys’ve heard it yet, but I just wanted to put the lyrics out here to show that if you’re going through hard times where you just want to give up on everything, that’ll eventually come to its end. Things will change. You’ll be truly happy and all that pain will go away. Things do get better. If Drew could do it, you can do it too.
I open up the photograph book,
see the pictures all, they’ve faded.
I see the smiles and all the laugher
and those ones not so hated.
Empty bottles of booze,
empty bottles of pills,
well I guess that this is it.
I’m standing tall on the high building,
looking down where I’m just about to fall.
I think back throughout my life
and all the people that I’ve hated.
Well I guess, I guess this life is,
it’s just too overrated.
So now I stand.
I can’t believe I’m standing here,
up top this old tall roof top.
I never thought that it would come to this,
but I have to show the ones I once’d loved
that I’ll jump and that I’ll fall,
that I’ll hit the ground so hard and,
and then they’ll see,
they’ll see it all,
that boy who was literally torn apart.
Another puzzle, another dream
smashed down, down the empty alley way.
In a way all the joy left in me
leave my body out here to decay.
I think back,
I think back when we said everything,
everything will be alright.
Well I’m left here,
I’m left here better off dead,
and I guess that my vision is out of tint.
So once again I’m that way.
I can’t believe I’m standing here,
up top this old tall roof top.
I never thought that it would come to this,
but I have to show the ones I once’d loved
that I’ll jump and that I’ll fall,
that I’ll hit the ground so hard and,
and then they’ll see,
they’ll see it all,
that boy who was literally torn apart.
And then I’ll jump,
and then I’ll fall,
and then I’ll hit the ground so hard
and then they’ll see,
they’ll see it all,
when my heart was literally torn apart
But this is actually physically pains my heart that someone so divine and precious in our lives ever felt this way and I’ve never felt so empathetic to someone I’ve met once.
