And it begins. The re-emergence off my sins. The wolves tell me to walk their way. The government tells me to walk it off. But I stay where I am. Swallow this, recite that. I shout my worst nightmares as if they're fact. I was taught to hate but learned to love. From a broken soul, a wounded dove. Pure was his name. He flew away, like the elusive day. I work hard, then harder I play. I was told this was wrong, To know only misery, like an empty song. I knew the words before it echoed in my ears. And don't you dare walk away I know you want to flea into the clearest day. But I can't afford this, After you overtook me with your perfect kiss. I won't make it a third time. Like the mirrors and clocks That have locked me in this box I show you an image only the empty can stomach. Though it weighs on me like horded tonnage. But, the sun will set again. Nothing will change. I still play the game. I lost, I'm lost.

And it begins. The re-emergence off my sins. The wolves tell me to walk their way. The government tells me to walk it off. But I stay where I am. Swallow this, recite that. I shout my worst nightmares as if they're fact. I was taught to hate but learned to love. From a broken soul, a wounded dove. Pure was his name. He flew away, like the elusive day. I work hard, then harder I play. I was told this was wrong, To know only misery, like an empty song. I knew the words before it echoed in my ears. And don't you dare walk away I know you want to flea into the clearest day. But I can't afford this, After you overtook me with your perfect kiss. I won't make it a third time. Like the mirrors and clocks That have locked me in this box I show you an image only the empty can stomach. Though it weighs on me like horded tonnage. But, the sun will set again. Nothing will change. I still play the game. I lost, I'm lost.
