I’ve come to realize how the hands of a clock
Have been constantly giving us the finger
Forcing us to waste more time than we’ve got
The only thing they count
Is the remaining hours we have left
Until the dawn consumes the dark
I have the answers to your prayers
The things that god would say
If he wasn't so ******* scared
Stop asking for someone to care
Until your mouth has finished talking it’s ****
I could rip your tongue out and I still wouldn’t hear the end of it

I’ve fallen down this path a hundred times
But it never seems quite the same
I can see in everyone’s eyes that they have changed
We change as often as the seasons.
But when the fall comes
Remember to welcome it
Even when you can’t think of a reason
I’m sure there must be one
For everything I’ve cursed myself for feeling

Another day lies buried within
The iron clasps constrict the mouth of a man
The blood is wiped across his violent grin
Convulsions,
Help me embrace the sleepless nights
Maybe it will be the night that makes things right
Just let the envy drag you further from your dreams
Just let the envy drag you down

I’ve fallen down this path a hundred times
But it never seems quite the same
I can see in everyone’s eyes that they have changed
We change as often as the seasons.
But when the fall comes
Remember to welcome it
Even when you can’t think of a reason
I’m sure there must be one
For everything I’ve cursed myself for feeling
As another day lies buried within

MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
