In The Atmosphere

Lyrics

[CRAIG, spoken] I know what you're thinking: "A kid spends five days in a psych ward And all the sudden he's cured!" I'm not I'm not even close But I'm getting there I can feel that this is just the beginning (sung) We try to dig our roots up And tie the knotting maze inside our head We hide from understanding why we're even here We feel like we're the screw-ups Like we lack a common thread A speck in the atmosphere We work to build our walls up We build until we're trapped inside ourselves We search to find what we'll never see as clear The mountain we all crawl up You think was made for someone else Lost in the atmosphere [CRAIG & BOBBY] It's like you can't ask for directions 'till everybody's lost [CRAIG, GEORGE, LEILA, & MRS. GILNER] It's alright To not be alright Survive the fire To burn as bright We all have to fly now To be in the right now If no-one's right [CRAIG, GEORGE, AARON] Then we're all alright (Then we're all alright) [CRAIG] It's not like "where'd the pen go?" It's hard to shake it off and start to heal Take what you need and you get stronger as you go From black and white to rainbow The pain becomes that real Stuck when you need to grow [CRAIG, NOELLE] Even if they're hidden Everyone has scars [Craig, COMPANY] It's alright To not be alright You survive the fire And burn as bright We don't have to fight now To live in the right now If no-one's right [CRAIG, GEORGE, AARON] Then we're all alright (Then we're all alright) Feeling stuck not enough on the inside Runner-up giving up on your whole life Crack the shell around your fear A light in the atmosphere Take a look around you Everybody's here [CRAIG, AARON, NIA, LEILA, GEORGE, MRS. GILNER] It's alright (It's alright) To not be alright (To not be alright) Survive the fire (Survive the fire) To burn as bright (To burn as bright) You'll have to fight now To live in the right now If no-one's right Then we're all alright [CRAIG, COMPANY] Dim lit light On in the middle of a room at night Can't see the little bit of glow No, wrong or right No-one seems to bother asking If we might need a little middle-of-the-road How could you know [CRAIG, spoken] Hi! I'm Craig Gilner I'm seventeen years old I'm different I'm odd, I'm unique I'm creative, I'm- I'm afraid I'm inspired I'm a mess, I'm me And I guess that's okay 'Cause I'm happier than I've ever been And I've only just begun to live Now this is [CRAIG, COMPANY, sang] Where I'm at [CRAIG, spoken] Any questions?
