We scratch these walls that we have built
|
This disbelief is useless
|
We pull these stakes we've driven in
|
And I'm pumped dry, can you see it?
|
WE fade to black and I'm giving in
|
My blood, it spills on the city
|
I'm ripped apart, back at the beginning
|
Can I say?
|
This confession of the heart will bleed until its end
|
If we ever see the beginning
|
My throat is dried out, much like my patience
|
And your nails are digging in
|
As my ribcage cracks and I exhale this dying breath
|
I see your face
|
I see your face
|
And I see that perfect smile fade
|
These bones I keep in my closet keep me from the skin that is clinging to me
|
Not sure of what were the best days, and everything in between seems obsolete
|
I feel I'm grounded with this weight that is breathing down my neck
|
I'm paralyzed with no confirmation of hope yet
|
But the world will tease until all eyes are on me
|
With this bitter taste dripping off of my teeth
|
My bloody hands struggling to come clean
|
I've bled out all my reasoning
|
And I've watched your syllables subside
|
But for good measure this time I'll smile
|
Until my teeth are rotting gums
|
Until I lose my fucking mind
|
I heard you're doing great, I'm doing just fine
|
The blood these knuckles have spared hasn't helped me wrap my head around this
|
And from the water's edge, I'm losing mine in the shallow end
|
I'm the one in the back with fingernails in my eyes
|
It took me years to see the situation fit
|
Don't look now as I fake a smile, a thought, memory when I don't give a shit
|
I've said this all before
|
I've said it loud enough
|
And I've said it a thousand times
|
My veins are hollowed out and I drop like a bomb you never even saw coming
|
These last days and this blackened heart has ceased to beat
|
Won't even start pumping
|
I always feel like I'm waiting around for tomorrow
|
These eyes can't see what's lying right there in front of me
|
What's lying right there in front of me
|
And these walls all crumble to the ground
|
The sky is red and its coming down
|
I will never come down
|
I will never come down
|
We scratch these walls that we have built
|
But this time I am letting go
|
This time I am letting go
|
We pull these stakes we've driven in
|
But this time I am letting go
|
Fade to black our tomorrows...
