lyrics

I went
Down to the wall
Down where the waves only rise just to fall
I’m down for some quiet
You break it
You buy it
Lord knows this hunger is keeping me up through the night
Tried
Tried and I failed
My train of thought always getting derailed
My thoughts were on you
They turned to the truth
There has to be something that makes all of this worth the fight

And I’m trying
Tryin so hard
It’s hard to forgive
And I’ve been lying
Lying to you
When I say I forget
I’m dying
We’re all dying
Dying to live

Life
Comes at a cost
Been taking stock of the moments I’ve lost
Wasted some days
Wasting away
It’s one thing to talk it’s another to walk straight ahead
Dead
I am dead tired
Stare at the mirror in the dead of the night
It’s time for a change
These times are so strange
These times set the stage for the end of the play up ahead

I’ll go
Out of my mind
Trying to fend off the tantrums of time
Reading news
Reads like a noose
Waiting for you to cross over a line and remind me that life
Comes and it goes
Get hypnotized by the ebb and the flow
Drown in the tide
We drown all the time
If I’m going down will you toss me a line nevermind
