lyrics

i write a thousand words a day
none of them seem to get what i say
biting my tongue to confuse the pain
it's just a fear that i'll push her away
i've got a long way to go
and i don't want anyone to follow

i wore my shameless city grin too long and it wore thin
my dead skin met a mutual friend
they shared a bottle of medicine
thought it was only a drop, i never know when to stop

now my heart keeps playing this joke
abandoned eyes by the side of the road
when this disaster finally woke
there was enough to begin again

i was ashamed to open my eyes
for so much that i long to hide
dead in the dust laying low with my sins
"you've got to love yourself to begin with,"
whispered the one that i called my home
all things must pass... I'm told

now it's the strangest part of the night
you get a glimpse of that glowing neon light
know it's a feeling that you need to hide
nobody's waiting for you inside
oh, to be honest and just walk away
and feel alive at the start of a new day
there's no last call that you have to make
you feel it slip as time starts to shake
and tells you to stay

the other hand kept holding me down
like i had something to prove
now you don't see me like you did
now i don't see you at all
