You look at me with those eyes The ones that criticize The ones that know everything The ones that watch me while I sleep
And words spill from your throat The ones I've always known And now I finally realize That you were laughing the whole time
As you drink your night away I watch your fall from grace While you look at me and smile With that sad look upon your face
I wonder where I am And what I've done to become This ugly monster that I see Staring right back at me
This is never what I wanted for us, dear Now It's all crashing down Now you're the only thing I fear Who you were meant everything to me And now I'm trapped inside the thing That you wanted me to be
So I'm going home.
You're a river in a drought You're the bad taste in my mouth That I can't seem to wash away No matter how loud I shout
Like a lion stalks it's prey You're with me every day And like a brick against my head You silence everything I say
As we feed ourselves to death I long for your breath But there isn't anything That's left inside of me
I remember where I am And what I've done to become This ugly thing that I see Growing inside of me
This is never what I wanted for us, dear Now It's all crashing down Now you're the only thing I fear Who you were meant everything to me And now I'm trapped inside the thing That you wanted me to be
So I'm going--
