See, I'm not allowed to go back to the welcome mat called home Merely because of a boy with green lungs Bedtime story mouths say you're heading down a path of destruction But how am I supposed to sit back and let that happen? Because a way of living they don't approve of, I am force fed hypocritical helping hands Moonlit hearts and guilty rules That palpation in your heart called pain Does not escape in the form of smoke, blood, or tears. Listen to me let my words sit in the crevices of your brain just this once This is not good for me Its eating me from the inside out Leaving the memory of you behind My heart is reproducing arms And they are reaching out my chest Stretching out for miles Just trying to find you
