Dire Straits

Tearing pages out of my diary
And try to change this story of my life
Collapse as a falling statue and turning to dust.
Headed off to a different planet
Running through this streets I'm in a state of war
Surrounded by embracing arms
But who can I trust?
Waking up in places I don't know
Silver screen showing lies in slow motion
And I realize.
I,
I'm in dire straits
In dire straits because of you.
And you, you're in dire straits
And you've parked against because of me.
We awake blast we are hanging in the air
End it dark cloud's just wont' disappear

We try and we try and it seems like we've lost.
We have burned our house to the ground
We are raveling through the night without a sound
And I realize
That I'm
I'm in dire straits
In dire straits because of you.
Oh and you, you're in dire straits
And you've parked against because of me.
Tearing pages out of my diary
And try to change this story of my life
Collapse as a falling statue and turning to dust.
I,
I'm in dire straits
In dire straits because of you.
And you, you're in dire straits
And you've parked against because of me.
