//i only keep myself sick in the head 'cause i know how the words get you off//
he's got a vice grip on my soul and his icy breath chills me to the bone he's got me stuck playing the same old role and living in a place that's not my home the accuser's got a plan for me tonight and right now he's got me in his sights he's taking his time drowning me in shame now he's gonna make me forget my name

you remind me of someone from one of my past lives so pardon me if I stop and stare and I'd like to take the time to get to know you better but I've got no time to spare you seem unaffected by the gloom of other people so wherever you are in life, I wish I was there

I woke up cold this morning and I had an old song in my head all my friends are moving on and I'm 12 steps higher but not any further ahead daily the ghost of you haunts me in the strangest ways all my friends are moving on and I'm 12 steps higher but not any further away does the gloom of other people surround you does the fog make it harder to breathe cause I know I can suffocate in ideas and emotions along with all the lies that I believe there's a murmur just below the surface there's a tingling just beneath the skin all my friends have outgrown me and I'm growing upwards too but not within does the gloom of other people surround you does the fog make it harder to breathe cause I know I can suffocate in ideas and emotions along with all the lies that I believe I woke up cold this morning and I had an old song in my head all my friends are moving on and I'm 12 steps higher but not any further ahead does the gloom of other people surround you does the fog make it harder to breathe cause I know I can suffocate in ideas and emotions along with all the lies that I believe

I-I don't fit in here but it's not my fault I-I don't fit your mould but I guess I'm evil by default so send me down to the river see if your suspicions are true they think i can't drown but they don't care if i do it doesn't really matter 'cause in their twisted view I don't belong I don't belong I don't belong I tried to cut myself down trim away the rough edges but I grew back sharper and stronger broke the mould that they thought was so precious so send me down to the river see if your suspicions are true they think i can't drown but they don't care if i do it doesn't really matter 'cause in their twisted view I don't belong I don't belong I don't belong icy water looks almost inviting compared to what I'm leaving behind me there's really no point in fighting what's already been decided so send me down to the river see if your suspicions are true they think i can't drown but they don't care if i do it doesn't really matter 'cause in their twisted view I don't belong I don't belong I don't belong

love is like the diamond industry your love particularly because you withhold so your product can be oversold

sit back relax focus on the sound of your breathing sit back relax breathe in breathe out county hospitals aren't much to look at but you gotta love the view of the city sit back relax sit back relax there's not much to do until the shock sets in not much to say not much to do so just sit there fidget with the hem of your shirt 'til the shock sets in 'til the shock sets in relax your eyes let the view out the window blur 'til the shock sets in sit back relax focus on the sound of your breathing sit back relax breathe in breathe out county hospitals aren't much to look at but you gotta love the view of the city sit back relax sit back relax okay it's morning now, anxiety turns to boredom not much to say and no one to talk to so try not to focus on how much your head hurts just try to breath just try to be just try to focus on the beat of your heart just try to be sit back relax focus on the sound of your breathing sit back relax breathe in breathe out county hospitals aren't much to look at but you gotta love the view of the city sit back relax sit back relax maybe they'll let you go home or they'll send you somewhere else but for now sit back relax

When I'm with you I will always be warmer Not just because you lend me your coat As we wait for snow, we'll watch the sky together But I'll sneak a glance at you and get a lump in my throat Cause what's the point of cold if there's no snow? And what's the point of staying now if eventually you'll go? By next Christmas maybe I'll learn to live without you But I swear to you you'll never be replaced If we meet again, I hope we don't need to start over I hope everything we've written down together isn't erased Cause what's the point of memories that fade away? What's the point of trying if I can't get you to stay?
