I guess I could move if I needed to. You'd stay here forget all about me. But you'd keep calling my name day after day. And I think you've got something up your sleeve.
How bad do you feel with your history? And how much do you cry when you dream? What do you want from me? I'll give you nothing. But I'll keep you at arms length for a little while more.
The settlement is in writing. My life's all yours for the taking. Don't mind me as I lay back. Watch you walk (watch you walk away) all over me (and out the door.
You say it like you really mean it. Don't hold back. You never did before. Just take it cause you already stole it. It's on your back. God rest your Christian soul.
Come back when you're ready. Ready to fight.
Sitting in an empty room. The lights go out but who needs them. All alone left to myself. Your words the cure to my racing mind.
If I had my choice it'd be you.
You say it like you really mean it. Don't hold back. You never did before. Just take it cause you already stole it. It's on your back. God rest your Christian soul.
Come back when you're ready. Ready to fight.
Come back when you're ready. Ready to lie.
If I had my choice it'd be you. To hold me back like you love to do.
Now somebody is controlling you. Taking a hit. Oh, how I'd love to see the marionette strings holding you up. Hell, I'm home now let me in. Five years too late.

I was fine until a certain point of time. I remember it clearly. Fly through the sky feel the blood rush through you. Live with the panic.
I was ocean bound. I was free. I lost a piece of me. In the clouds.
Flip back through the chapters of your life. The clues are in the context. Capture the moment it all came crashing down. Read it over and over.
If you want someone to love. Look away. And if you need someone to care. I'm not your man.
Think back to a time when you weren't so fucked up. Can you even go back that far? I was sixteen years old with the whole world in front of me. Maybe that's the problem.
I've been trying so hard to hide it from everyone. I'm so damn tired all the time. I miss days I wasn't terrified.
Maybe I'm just not right in the head.
Wherever you go no matter how far I'll be there waiting.
All the days, the pages you turned. You tried to find love but the page was empty.
All the days, the pages you turned. You tried to find love but your writer was flawed.

I always thought my life could be so much more. But with an ailing body and a broken mind. Dreams are only real when you stay in your head. Create a world for one.
Don't waste your breath on me. I'm where I need to be.
I wasn't always so terrified. One day I woke up could no longer breathe. Flying through air. Holding my breath. Fighting for life.
Before it's over put the pen to paper. I need you to know I think my world is ending.
Save yourself. Run as fast as you can. The sky is falling. It's too late.
I needed more room on this page.
I wasn't always so terrified. One day I woke up could no longer breathe. Flying through air. Holding my breath. Fighting for life. I wasn't always so terrified.
It hurts so much and I feel so bad. Each morning I wake up from a nightmare. But only to find this world is hell.
Go back to sleep. There is no escape. Sing your praise. Say your prayers.
Hallelujah.

A Long Way To Go

The feeling is sinking. And time is a factor. You think that you have got too old. But what'd you think would happen now?
You don't have to live your whole life alone. But you don't have to love them you just have to live. There's no telling what tomorrow brings if tomorrow ever comes. Just sit and be patient pray for better days.
Is it true when they say all it takes is a little faith?
You don't have to live your whole life alone. But you don't have to love them you just have to live. There's no telling what tomorrow brings if tomorrow ever comes. Just sit and be patient pray for better days.
You came laughing and haunting. Teasing and taunting.
There will always be one you'll never forget. Compare them to a standard that's only in your head. And it doesn't have to be the whole truth to feel right.
It seems like I am impossible. It feels like I am losing control over you.

Spit the whole story out. Let your sins fall to the ground. If you got nothing to say. Then I know you're too blame.
I'm sorry my dear I've been holding back. There's no place I'd rather be than far from here. So hold me closer. Cling to this body. Squeeze the life right out of me.
I'm sorry my dear. When I said I loved you it never really meant a thing. Hold on until you're ready.
There's no room on this page for you.
Sing me a song. Spin circles around me.
