This schedual of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
How can it sound too cold?
With all intent of the best console
This schedual of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
I stepped into it
Then you said
"You left me in ruins"
How can it sound too cold?
With all intent of the best console
And a new way
Around an old pain
A new way
Around an old pain
I made this sketch so dark
I made this sketch so hard
I'm waiting for the game to begin
Please begin
You long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
Too long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
When you see...
There's no way
There's no way
Around an old pain
So I'll ask you to stay
Just walk past again
