KHTDR

We scratch these walls that we have built

This disbelief is useless

We pull these stakes we've driven in

And I'm pumped dry, can you see it?

WE fade to black and I'm giving in

My blood, it spills on the city

I'm ripped apart, back at the beginning

Can I say?

This confession of the heart will bleed until its end

If we ever see the beginning

My throat is dried out, much like my patience

And your nails are digging in

As my ribcage cracks and I exhale this dying breath

I see your face

I see your face

And I see that perfect smile fade

These bones I keep in my closet keep me from the skin that is clinging to me

Not sure of what were the best days, and everything in between seems obsolete

I feel I'm grounded with this weight that is breathing down my neck

I'm paralyzed with no confirmation of hope yet

But the world will tease until all eyes are on me

With this bitter taste dripping off of my teeth

My bloody hands struggling to come clean

I've bled out all my reasoning

And I've watched your syllables subside

But for good measure this time I'll smile

Until my teeth are rotting gums

Until I lose my fucking mind

I heard you're doing great, I'm doing just fine

The blood these knuckles have spared hasn't helped me wrap my head around this

And from the water's edge, I'm losing mine in the shallow end

I'm the one in the back with fingernails in my eyes

It took me years to see the situation fit

Don't look now as I fake a smile, a thought, memory when I don't give a shit

I've said this all before

I've said it loud enough

And I've said it a thousand times

My veins are hollowed out and I drop like a bomb you never even saw coming

These last days and this blackened heart has ceased to beat

Won't even start pumping

I always feel like I'm waiting around for tomorrow

These eyes can't see what's lying right there in front of me

What's lying right there in front of me

And these walls all crumble to the ground

The sky is red and its coming down

I will never come down

I will never come down

We scratch these walls that we have built

But this time I am letting go

This time I am letting go

We pull these stakes we've driven in

But this time I am letting go

Fade to black our tomorrows...
