  • No words, my tears won't make any room for 'em
    Oh, and it don't hurt
    Like anything I've ever felt before
    This is no broken heart
    No familiar scars
    This territory goes uncharted

    Just me in a room sunk down in a house in a town
    And I don't breathe
    No, I never meant to let it get away from me
    No, I'm too much to hold
    Everybody has to get their hands on gold
    And I want uncharted

    Stuck under the ceiling I made
    I can't help but feeling

    I'm going down
    Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
    Like you'll show me where to go
    I'm already out
    A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
    To get started, it's all uncharted

    La, la, la-la-ah, oh

    Each day I'm countin' up the minutes
    'Til I get alone, 'cause I can't stay
    In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
    So alone, never knew how much I didn't know
    Oh, everything is uncharted

    I know I'm getting nowhere
    When I only sit and stare like

    I'm going down
    Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
    Like you'll show me where to go
    I'm already out
    A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
    To get started, it's all uncharted

    Jump start my kaleidoscope heart
    Love to watch the colors fade
    They may not make sense
    But they sure as hell made me

    I won't go as a passenger, no
    Waiting for the road to be laid
    Though I may be going down
    I'm taking flame over burning out

    Compare
    Where you are to where you want to be
    And you'll get nowhere

    I'm going down
    Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
    Like you'll show me where to go
    I'm already out
    A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
    To get started

    Oh, I'm going down
    Follow if you want, I won't just hang around
    Like you'll show me where to go
    I'm already out
    A foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
    To get started, it's all uncharted
