Alone In A Mansion
Mike Posner Lyrics

Red cups everywhere kerosene lights
I can hear my steps echo leftover lines

And it's all in a silly
Attempt to be someone different
Someone different someone who ain't me
And it's days like this
That I find you on my mind
And it's clear that I really did fuck
Things up this time

Cause right now you're wrapped
Up in another man's
Arms who doesn't hold his love for ransom
And I'm right here alone in a mansion

Uh, acid in my blood flow
I feel like I'm dead
Razor bladе thought forms
In the sandpaper bed

And it's all in a silly
Attеmpt to make someone listen
Someone listen to little old me

And it's days like this that I
Find you on my mind (on my mind)
And it's clear that I really did
Fuck things up this time (up this time)
Cause right now you're wrapped
Up in another man's
Arms who doesn't hold his love for ransom
And I'm right here alone in a mansion
Yeah, I'm right here alone in a mansion
Oh, woah you tell me
You tell me what am I supposed to do
Oh, woah you tell me
You tell me

And it's days like this that I
Find you on my mind
And it's clear that I really did
Fuck things up this time
Cause right now you're wrapped
Up in another man's
Arms who doesn't hold his love for ransom
And I'm right here alone in a mansion
Yeah, it's days like this that I
Find you on my mind
And it's clear that I really did
Fuck things up this time
Cause right now you're wrapped
Up in another man's
Arms who doesn't hold his love for ransom
And I'm right here alone in a mansion
And i'm right here alone in a mansion

(sobbing) to whom it may concern
Right before the sky gets too tired
To hold up the stars
Right before virtual reality becomes too real
Right before we smoke ourselves out
And the oceans turn black
Right before it all goes to shit
There will be a brief moment
When the world will remember my name
Mike Posner commencing Operation: Wake Up
(Gunshot)
