lyrics

Words pierce like daggers through the chest,
while wearing porcelain skin
Each one marks closer to the left side
Even the beautiful ones have the most heart shattering screams
Outside the window pedestrians pass
and wear their smiles with explicit denial

Tears swim through rusted faucets, leaking under your kitchen sink
Making cabinets moldy, your breathing heavy,
and left neglected to eyes with 20/20 vision
It's so much easier to bury your face in your hands,
than to narrate each and every fictional story
from beginning to end

but I still care about you
don't you forget that

I think I made the right decision to leave this fucked up place
instead of only lacking patience and losing sleep
How many times will a boy cry out for help
before the wind drowns out the hissing of the tape?
The air is still for a moment until the adrenaline hits
a knife through the chest is the only way to understand
I only have the best of intentions
I wish there was another option
