lyrics

When I was born I couldn't see the deluge of a tragedy
Constant barrage of fuckery the world had blindly dealt to me
So I would grow to finally be a cynic with good company
And you would watch as all the leaves changed their colors here for me

In time it took to be exposed, a growing doubt that no one knows
took over and finally showed a boy who couldnt hold his own
Alone at start, till i could find someone who would stick behind
My thoughts and keep me in their eyes, but who knew the big surprise

And who would know a heart like this could be easily dismissed?
A common soul, a subtlety, a wounded bird whose wings weren't free
So i would try to fix it all and eventually I'd fall
But who would know I'd fall so soon? Who would know I'd fall for you?

Now I lie here in this bed, silently praying for my death
In lieu of certain events, the feeling of you circumvents
those feelings of lonliness of which your hands would caress
please end this now

When I was born, I chose to see the world that I wanted to see
but now I know the world is mean and there is nothing left for me
Why do I choose to persist on, well maybe I think theres a song
left in my heart to sing along
