If I had a fist for every time I've been trapped, I'd fight my way out and I'd never look back. I'm lying down in the darkest places. I'm losing touch. I can't see faces.

They tell me you're in heaven, and if that's true, tell god it doesn't need you half as much as I do

So tell me please, were you searching for contentment? You came home empty handed with a feeling of resentment. Smoke and mirror's, it's just an illusion. The real world's a joke and that's my conclusion.

There's a difference between running from something
and searching for anything

I can't count how many times you've let me down
I'm so sick of pretending that I want you around

It's been a long time since I've seen you and I'm much better off. I've got more than a few good reasons I've been ignoring all your calls. You said you listened, but you never heard a word.

When I grow up I wanna be sedated.
Looking for liquor and love, forever hated.
Plant the seed and the fury spreads like legs,
Without a light at the end of the tunnel
Unless they set the whole mountain ablaze.

Hope isn't in question, it's a question of how many times you can repeat the same feelings. Before you go numb, you always roll the dice. We always try, try again.

Crushing our lungs, we broke our hearts
The tears didn't flow until the front door shut
The jokes went stale and we forgot how to laugh
Some good things they never will stand a chance

Something dirty's got you dear, makes me want to be with you
something painful's with you dear, makes me want to be with you
