Trying to pull myself away

Breaking up in the station, a final train
I don't even know if I'll ever see you again
Is it a choice that we even have?
Bang bang down on the piano 'til I smash the keys
Leaving alone with the melodies
Everything's gone and I don't know where
And the rule of thumb don't apply anymore
'Cause the house is burning
Trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
Trying to pull myself away
Lately when I get lost there's this thing I know
Even the dogs have somewhere to go
Everything comes if you just let it be
Work, work, brighten the corners that I will never see
Untangle the thoughts to you know what they mean
I hope that the answer didn't come to late
And the rule of thumb don't apply on me
'Cause the tables are turning
Trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
I'm trying to pull myself away
I'm caught in a pattern and I can't escape
Can't escape
Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
Trying to pull myself away, everything's gone
