im lying down, sprawled across the tracks we walked on and the train is coming down to crush my head and all those stupid things i said to you that made you leave i didn't mean a thing you fought the good fight, i was fighting just to get a rise now im drawing pictures of you in my mind we both deny our slate is clean waste of my life, only eighteen

So tell me tell me was it patience that just didn't add up? Held under water by a weighted chain. Struggle for breath but you'll only sink down further to your resting place. Let's just say the things we never said. Open up your eyes and keep a level head. Woah X2 Lady, you've dropped a bomb on my head so keep running out of here and, I'm sure of more words that should've been said but you don't wanna hear them. And it's tragic, it's so tragic how you bring me down and down. You said forever wouldn't come but it's oh so close, I can feel it gaining on me. This empty room is just making me feel like i've got time to get your head wrapped 'round me.

Looking Down 02:39
I could spend my day looking down it wouldn't change a thing, If only i could change the past this wouldn't have to sting. Lately i have felt your fear it's getting close to me, A constant reminder of who i'm never gonna be. Never go, one last hope, A broken night won't happen twice. Can only ask for nothing but it's nothing but the truth and if it's truth that i'm looking for it wouldn't be in you. Fill your head with cleaner thoughts, your misery and passion inside me rots. Could spend my day, looking down, as time flies fast so does love come around. The things you do in your spare time make me lose sleep, it's just like what you said to me i'm not the one to keep. I find it kind of funny how you throw me around, with every single word you threw me to the dogs. No conversations there, your words are stale, it's never your fault, you can never be wrong. What is life without answers? Just a free ride on a ticking bomb, I'm too sick to give a shit and i'm too broke to go on.

These halls are more than I can take and my wall is almost bound to brake. And i've got more time on my hands than the world expecting. So fall asleep on the couch in the morning and wake up the next day with no where to go. The only thing is that you'll find yourself falling but I don't care, It's not open it's closed. You always said that I should leave room for improvement, But the way you leave me everytime has got me coming back. I black out at my friends house, I know that it's not bad. But maybe, we'll see, what happens I found out the truth in your bullshit; it's bullshit. Don't lie now, and somehow, we find out. So fall asleep on the couch in the morning and wake up the next day with no where to go. The only thing is that you'll find yourself falling but I don't care, It's not open it's closed. You always said that I should leave room for improvement, But the way you leave me everytime has got me coming back.

Set in Stone (free) 03:13
So you have nothing to say, yeah you told me it was set in stone. But you have chizzled away, yeah you built a statue of your own. Don't look at me like that it's not your time to say anything else. I'm not sure about that but we can figure something out. Won't even bother to bother to call again knowing that i'm probably not crossing your mind anyway. I've never been as trusting as you yeah, you're always confident that you've got the right state of mind to be pulling string tonight. We're only puppets at heart, our every move is made by someone else. And the bigger picture proves that this was all a game. (Shadows show more than black, it's like we can't turn back) Shadows show more than black and i'm staring down at the world in fact, and i'm sharing all my secrets that matter to them. Don't look at me like that it's not your time to say anything else. I'm not sure about that but we can figure something out. Won't even bother to bother to call again knowing that i'll probably not cross in your mind anyway.

These days are colder when you're not here. It's almost over but not quite clear, why you left, and where was I? I'm sorry love, please don't cry. I've been searching for a time for you to leave, you have kept me here but now I cannot see. I've been hoping for a day that'd finally come, still I try so hard but you just wanna run, you just wanna run. This will (this will) always (always) haunt me inside your hallways. This girl, that girl, any other girl, Tell me anything you wanted to, everything you wanted to. Hold your breath because nothing's ever right. Make the choice, accept what you decide. Live your life accept the price and then burn your bridges just to build them up again. Everything I live for wouldn't live for me, if happiness is guidance then love is the key. No matter how hard I try, I try again,and try again but nothing's ever right. Everything I live for wouldn't live for me, if happiness is guidance then love is the key. Tired of falling down and getting back up, sick of being the one who shows up. Just bite me hard so i'll remember what it feels like to be together. I'm sorry it has to end this way, hopefully we'll meet again one day. Everything I live for wouldn't live for me, if happiness is guidance then love is the key. No matter how hard I try and try, nothing I do ever seems right. Tired of falling and getting back up.
