Leaving

Time lost, miles away

In a world of bullets

In a bed, of empty space

A picture frame, a portrait

The night falls, I'm awake

I'm left to rust in silence

Withdraw my mistakes

I'm left to trust in violence

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving

Weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving

Headstones borrow names

Inscribed by anxious patients

Fate calls. Our blurry fate

Lies in the hands we're chased with

Bearing all

Bombs away

Curing fear with makeshift plans

Conquer the fall, we'll do it

Comfort the fall with bullshit

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving

Weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving

Weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving
