So when you're up past five
And you glance up at the sky
I'm watching you turn right back around
I know you're never tired
Just annoyed all the time
Only so many things get you out of bed

Your face is inside out
You're lying again just now
'Cause everything gold could stay the same
The world didn't end 'cause of yesterday

So look me in the eyes
And say you'd rather die
The fear of failure saved you twice
You're throwing up your heart
You're nothing but your thoughts
You hate the world, and it loves you back

Your eyes are red and numb
Your nose, it bleeds like hell
But months will go by where nothing's changed
And you'll come to regret that time you wasted
Acting like it's over
'Cause you've been too scared to speak
I've been here for five billion years
And I'll be here for five billion more

I'll check back in a year
You'll give me nothing new
And you'll say to me that you tried your best
I'll know you lied your head off
And I'll love you either way
'Cause nothing changes when you're not here

I've listened to all your songs
And witnessed firsthand how you think
I know you more than you know yourself
But you've heard that all before

So once you're up at eight
You'll look me in the eye
Of course they were right, they always are
And you still hate the body
You know there's so much more
You never really know yourself

Your eyes are red and numb
Your nose, it bleeds like hell
But months will go by where nothing's changed
And you'll come to regret that time you wasted
Acting like it's over
'Cause you've been too scared to speak
I've been here for five billion years
And I'll be here for five billion more

I've known you for a lifetime
And I've loved you for my lifetime
And I've watched you for a lifetime
Know that even in the nighttime
I'll be standing far below you
Shining light on those below you
Though I didn't do what I'd hoped to
I can't wait to get to know you
