just as you rejoice they're sounding the alarm a cry wolf prophecy that's got you up in arms and you know by now the gavel falls a little farther from the tree and you've come to find that agony can take its toll silently few will ever know just how we begin in a burned down house a gallery depicting every sin it's the background noise calamity the buzzing bees inside your head counteracting your integrity with every word you've ever said I’m hanging around like this is the end of time and I know that this is all you will find you've got your thrown and crown you've got your head held high higher than the sky inside your mind to wish life away is not a sin where we begin is where we end I’ve been hanging around like this is the end of time and I know that this is all you will find

lately I’ve been feeling like I’m living under water lately no one seems to care that life’s too short for working for a dying wage and a blank page inside a fading chapter I think too much, don’t think enough I’ve had enough you ought to know this by now it’s nothing new there’s nothing left here to say not everyone finds their way somehow some people view life upside down not everyone finds their way somehow you should’ve figure it out by now Friday night a drunken fight illuminates the scene the whole room sleeps around you, you’re wide awake and dreaming of peace of mind and my own kind to dissipate the screaming stay in bed or pull the thread unraveling your being if you won’t lead us home if you won’t lead

at night I realize all of these things that afflict my mind and I’ve gotta be crazy to believe in you all of the words we say in vein float around in the air and fall like rain and I’ve gotta be crazy to believe in you all the times that you wonder why every way that we say goodbye fighting for something that's already up and died everyday a drunken daze 'get me out of my mind' is the phrase that pays and I’ve gotta be crazy to believe in you all the times that you wonder why it's so hard to say goodbye some people just aren't cut out for the jet set life

you spend your time building these walls but it seems you’d make a better window and all the while they’re throwing stones well I have something that will let you know if you could see your face deception isn’t treating you well the lies you couldn’t take and wouldn’t tell it’s nothing personal I spend my time singing this song can’t even think of your name you wrap yourself around my finger even though your better judgment says to go waiting for the rhythm to agitate your senses fuel a flame with every note lose all your confidence what’s wrong love did the cat get your tongue and the thought of chivalry is so laughably conceived with every melody you should see your face

I know the winter has changed, ravaged and come to blame you lying in the grass reality at last has winter come to pass in no time at all in spring we start anew the end of me and you there’s no one left to take you home again I feel free the sun is gonna save me now from myself and everyone else
