Fireworks Lyrics

Maybe I need to go out tonight
Perhaps I should engage in reckless behavior to feel alive

And get stabbed to death to feel alive
I crave such intensity and excitement that I am willing to put myself in danger

Yeah I, I used to try
I once attempted to live a more conventional, stable life

Or dig a drug tunnel to the past
I wish to escape my present reality by revisiting past experiences through substance abuse

Burn old birthday cards I kept
I am willing to destroy sentimental items in order to achieve a sense of catharsis

To light, to light a path
I want to use my past experiences to guide me towards a better emotional state

And they can read too
The objects and settings from my childhood have the ability to evoke memories and emotions

Each childhood bedroom
Even the seemingly mundane details from my past hold significant emotional weight

Where the hum of passing cars
The ambient sounds of my past environment add to my nostalgia

Fades out like the stars on your ceiling
These memories are fleeting and may be difficult to grasp onto

I'm half the man my father knows I should be
I feel like a disappointment to my father and struggle with fulfilling his expectations

And I can feel, I can feel her getting over me
I sense that my former partner is moving on from our relationship

My grandparents always helped me
My grandparents provided emotional support throughout my life

At their first prayer every morning
Religion was an important aspect of their daily routine

God's, God's blessings
They believed in a higher power and sought its guidance

But I know what that really means
I understand their intentions on a deeper level

They may not speak english perfectly
My grandparents may not be fluent in English but communicate their love and guidance strongly

But they, yeah they read me
My grandparents understand me on a profound level, even if we have a language barrier

They're mourning, it's storming, the garage has the best view
The family is grieving and the atmosphere is somber, but the garage provides a sense of solace

And through thy name, I'm coming
I seek strength from a higher power to help me cope with my struggles

I'll sit through it with you [x2]
I will be there with you during this difficult time

You were saving lives while I just ruined mine
You were making a positive impact while I was self-destructing

I used to, I used to, you know I used to try
I made efforts to improve my life, but now I struggle to do so

And I can feel her getting over me
I continue to feel the pain of losing my former partner and sense that she is moving on without me
