Follow me until you reach my breaking point,
The point I've been at since he began,
What could possibly be worse than losing to myself?
I can't answer that question with the state that I'm in, the place that I'm in,
Do I want to heal is a question again I ask myself,
Keep promising that I do but I'm still stuck,
Stuck with the person I praised and named.

In between two lines and a half,
I'm dividing myself into halves,
And then into quarters,
Letting a poison point blend into my soul,
Carving in words of passion to drive my parts to passionate purpose that only I create.

For only I have the key to my mind,
But it's the lock I must find,
I could go in circles until I never find it,
The need to diverge,
Not to separate myself but to clean up the floor,
It's the only way I understand how to control.

To wind up all of the thoughts,
Into a ball and throw it at the wall,
Doesn't seem to work,
Cause the sound collects words like dust,
I need to introspect inside of a page,
To write until the sun comes up,
And the yarn shadows untangle themselves,
Words to me don't work like voices,
But like graphite,
They don't get collected or tossed about,
They end up sitting upon a page,
Watching with hopeful eyes.

I'll figure you out with time, in time,
Nights could go by before I read it again,
But it's then that I see what's inside my head,
So forgive me if they're dark, brooding, or sick,
It's the only way I know,
The only way I know.

I see the corpses of the ones I once loved,
At this moment, on this roof, I stand alone,
I wish that I could relive this life,
I feel like a ticking time-bomb,
Cause one day I'll fall apart up here.

But when I see you cry,
I know I need to give you everything,
It powers me on my rusted remains.

When the roof begins to crumble away,
And the interior metal shows itself,
I'm reminded of why everything could die,
In place, in replacement of everything I hold dear,
To me, a song to read, a song to sing, is a song to believe,
We'll live forever.

But when I see you cry,
I know I need to give you everything,
It powers me on my rusted remains.

Here come the stranger things of the night,
Some call them demons and some it'd be monsters,
But to myself it's just me and poison boy's misadventures,
Our rocking bed atop a stormy sea,
He's beside me and I trust him with my life.

Our plight to death,
He says, "Say your goodbyes."
I say, "Yes, sir."
Our plight to light,
He says, "Say your dreams."
I say, "Yes, sir."

Breaking my shell off to rip me of my confines,
Poison boy doesn't care about that at all,
But I do, oh god do I care,
Stop breaking my face, my soul, my dreams,
Curb stomping me into my irreversible creation,
Why did I give in?
Why did I give in?

im alone inside my own head,
im not thinking straight,
thats okay cause its too late,
lets get drunk, poison boy, youve won this fight.
sending love to all my closest friends,
until i go ill sing a prayer of defeat.

im asleep on this sunny day,
everything could be going right,
but it's all wrong in my head,
if im to be honest,
im ready to die.
