I got your news
It came across the wire
And I’ve been so loose
With all of my desires
And right now
We could be closer
If you just reach out
And give me some time
I’ve got mistakes I’ve made
But I’m ok
I tried to change my name
But you still stayed
I can’t be young with you
A wolf filled with fear
A child locked behind a sneer
How do you tame the weak?
When they don’t hear you speak
Right now
We could be closer
If you just reach out
And give me some time
I’ve got mistakes I’ve made
But I’m ok
I tried to change my name
But you still stayed
No one gets credit for something you didn’t do
I can’t be young with you
You made your bed
Now fucking lay in it

I just can’t relate anymore
Did I ever do it before?
This house, these clothes, those eyes of yours
I’ve gotta get away before I’m bored
You waste your time on everything, and never what you should
If you glorify the bad things, you’ll never see the good
A new way to hold hands
Most of this dried blood
Could be mistaken for love
What is it about these bright colors and immature voices that makes my skin crawl?
You waste your time on everything, and never what you should
If you glorify the bad things, you’ll never see the good
A new way to hold hands
I’ll watch you fade away
I’ll treat you as a memory
When you waste your time on everything
What the hell are you looking forward to?

You don’t know shit about shit
And you’re starting to realize it
You’re always wrong
We’re calling you out
We’re calling your bluff
We’re calling you out
And you don’t look so tough
You’ll tie that noose
Around my neck
With such debonair and purpose
That I’ll almost beg for it
I don’t blame you for the holes you left
I blame myself for watching you dig them
You’re changing with the seasons
(Who are you?)
You’re changing for the wrong reasons
(Who are you?)
You’ll never bloom if you don’t grow
You’ll always be, what you think we need
It all goes
Straight to your head
It all flows
Right out your mouth
You don’t know shit about

Under the static
Is where I survive
I wonder if I could reach the bottom
Before the water turns to ice
As your reflection sleepwalks by
And if I’m honest, will you stay?
And if I lie, will it all just stay the same?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Or am I afraid of me?
Was it just a change of heart?
Or an excuse for apathy?
Watching the sun turn
Your skin to pale
Picking up your body
As it fails
And I can feel this growing old
When you decide not to come home
We’ve been training for this low
But I still won’t let you go
And if I’m honest, will you stay?
And if I lie, will it all just stay the same?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Or am I afraid of me?
Was it just a change of heart?
Or an excuse for apathy?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Or am I afraid to see?
Was it just a change of heart?
Or an excuse to be set free?
How long until one of us says enough?
I think it’s me
I know it’s me
Your future includes me
