Thought I Was

Dried up in the heart
It's been one too many times
But I'm shot and I'm hopeless
Just going through the motions
Tried to cut the tie
Just hanging by a thread
But I ain't right without it
And I'm afraid of consequence
I'm living with a two-faced slut
Waiting to take back control
I'm caught up in a world
Where I lay in the bed
That I made as the lights keep spinning
I'm running with the betting on me
I'm being the best I could be
But it feels like the sun when I wait
You're too tired for the work to come with the darkness
Sick of the me I made
And the doubt I'm always in
It's not about where I'm going
But where I've already been
I've severed every one of my ties
There was nothing else to do
Now I'm back
To where I was before
I've got nobody to amuse
Forget about the way that I felt
On the day I was born and every one after
Forget about the hook in my mouth
When I thought I was caught and it was all over
There ain't a wall
There ain't a reason
To stop this climbing
There ain't enough force
So god damn
Go ahead and let it all come out
Will I wait, forever?
Will I wait, til I'll feel alive?
Will I wait, forever?
Will I wait, til I'll feel alive?
Well, just look back at the only thing to the wall
I saw your chance and I'm gonna take it
Yea, it's been a long time since I feel right
But too many rights, and you end up back where you started
WHERE YOU STARTED!
WHERE YOU STARTED!
Will I wait, forever?
Will I wait, forever?
Will I wait, til I'll feel alive?
Will I wait, forever?
Will I wait, til I'll feel alive?
