Counting abandoned buildings gone by,
And cutting these feelings with a knife,
Ignore my approach and call it a lie,
One more emotion for you to deny,

Don’t give in and I won’t let out
My air, so thin, to attract your grin,
My ignorance to your simplicity,

Others never call it the same,
As I am just a job and a name,
And so now I’ve become your chore,
You hate me and subdue me,
While realizing you’ve used me,

I’ve got everything to live for nothing,
Except this silly shape in a stupid place,
To fill your mood and empty your thoughts,
You’re a stepping stone on my race to claim,
You take me in and I feel the same,

All I want is your silly shape in an ugly place,
Let me sing and swing at an awful pace,
Where I storm around and forget your face.
Your reliance is gone, my resilience remains.

Hurry, before apathy is at your feet,
And you're a cold soul to the radio, but not for long.
I'm shoulder deep in bad intentions, but I’ve paid to play,
And now I’ll play with those who have the most to say,

But I don't really want to sit here anymore,
And listen to your failed attempts at a metaphor...

I wish you wouldn't hurt yourself,
You're so much better off,
But this time's set and the past isn't present,
I'm cut as deep as yours,
Charming letters and flattering smiles,
I can almost taste the passion,
How far can I go to get lost in your see-thru?

I don't have the heart to steal your heart from the edge of your sleeve,
And tell him I'm here and disappear to drown all of your fear,

900 miles could seperate an obvious shade of what we thought we made,
Pull apart and push cause I'm ready, set, going your heart to steal your way,

So I'm moving like a river, only heading down, to you,
To fix the forgetters and never's that we've found,
So I'm moving like a statue with my head hanging down,
To give your way back to the heart I never found, in you.

And here I sit, wanting you..
Can you see what I need? I can too...
It's not my fault, I did what I could do....
So I'll lie to forget the truth.....
