Why does it seem that pain
Sticks to me, Like glue to paper wings
My enemy.
My love is gone
I will be strong
I’m walking on shakey ground
Too much to hang around.
Too late to lose my will and I need to choose to make the kill of bad memories and change.

Heavy conversations
Burning in my throat
Steady hesitations
Of things I need to know.
I’m on time
To make things right
Wrestling in cages
Pulling at my wrists
Concerning dedication
The words to make it stick.
I’m on time
To make things right
A message of treason
The need to cut the nerve
Where does it leave us?
To give what it’s worth.
I’m on time
To make things right

I’ve got a lot to learn
about the battles I choose
I think that everyone is crazy
If they don’t think like I do.
I don’t want to talk to you
You walk the walk and never do
You think the truth is a lie
and the lie is the truth.
I find your presence a bore
Maybe I’m searching for more
I don’t want to talk to you
You walk the walk and never do
I don’t want to fight with you
what 2 and 2 is equal too.
I’ve got a lot to learn
about the battles I choose
I think that everyone is crazy
If they don’t think like I do.
I don’t want to talk to you
You walk the walk and never do

I found a tunnel through a place in time
Giving out chances to a dying race
I pulled a tooth before it gave me pain
I saw the future right before it came.
I wanted you to stay
To see what I have made
I drew a perfect world without a pen
I wrote a message too big for a bottle
Am I intrusive stop making excuses
You can just walk away and think this is stupid.
I wanted you to stay
To see what I have made

I turned the cap and the bottle slipped
It hit the floor and cut my hand
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BEHAVE
I mumbled how I wanted out
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BEHAVE
You broke me in. I fantasized
When I was lit I dramatized
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BEHAVE
I’ll be good to you, never hide from you.
There’s a mess I’ve made and I remember.
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BEHAVE
Vicious circle I want to apologize
I’m not helping you by disowning you.
People say I’m damaged by the shaking in my brain.
I just want to laugh about it so I can hide addiction.
I told you I
I told you I
I told you I
I told you I wanted to behave

It’s never impossible until you say it to yourself.
It’s always improbable if you believe it, might as well.
Where are you now
Where are you now
Always and never, making it hard to build a scene.
Painted then stripped away. Never satisfied with anything.
Where are you now
Where are you now

I am acting crazy
To think I can do it all.
I’ve never been lazy, but I keep on coming up short
I always find something to blame
I need time
I’m not done with this life
I want time
I gotta get through this and do a lot more
I take care of myself
Obsessed with strength
They say the strong survive but a hammer can’t fix a slow leak.
Still I can’t do it by myself.
I need time
I’m not done with this life
I want time
I’m not done with this life
I gotta get through this and do a lot more

I've lost identity
Pushed and pulled away
From being comfortable of who I want to be
Fast track to a modern world
Of drugs and robots with no feeling
I know you know I’ll be
A crater of myself
I know you want to see
A different version of me..
More time sucked into the void
Distractions blanket you
I just want to wake you up to look you in the eye
I know you know I’ll be
A crater of myself
I know you want to see
A different version of me..
I’ve forgotten what your voice sounds like
To the tapping of your thumbs.
Is there a chance to reconnect and bring us back to life.
I know you know I’ll be
A crater of myself
I know you want to see
A different version of me..

Stabbing by way out of this thickened mess,
Believed to be worth something until I stepped
Through the wrong door.
See what happened here
Breath a sense of fear
Feel the end is near
Over simplified. The root cause of denial.
What will be my fate and who will commiserate.
See what happened here
Breath a sense of fear
Feel the end is near
Branded by mistakes. It’s hard to regulate amongst a crowd of steer
Who follow.
See what happened here
Breath a sense of fear
Feel the end is near

Fired from life and thrown to the side,
My best chances of surviving are to hold on tight
I’ve got the bruises to show I tried
I’m not so faithful of a country that died.
You live to work instead of working to live
Someones on top of you and giving you shit
I don’t mind losing if I eventually win
I’m glad I learned to survive in the ditch.
It’s just another whole in the wall
Never a time to give without taking
Americanopoly is the game of life
