im taking a step to look at my face in the mirror to see how much ive aged
but nothing is quite as crystal clear as this freight train
to the wrong direction ive been on for years
my reflection shows a boy a girl a kid too afraid of the world
but I have put up a good fight take a look at my stomach
ive almost clawed my way to the outside
dont polish my gears, or chip off the rusting
my time is running out and boy im tired of running
this steady conflict I have with my skin
it won't give if it breaks it comes back and brings friends
taking a step back and changing my pace ive been dancing my way
to an early grave
but I wanna be something more than an illness
the feeling of your parents disappointment
the feeling in your chest when you realize that no one will stay
and you can never go back to the one place you felt safe
dont polish my gears, or chip off the rusting
my time is running out and boy im tired of running
this steady conflict I have with my skin
it won't give if it breaks it comes back and brings friends
and im half of what I used to be I choke on all my insecurities
i'm waiting for the axe to fall no matter where it lands it wont cut everything off

ive got an axe to grind on what weve had these past few months
it was a dream and I woke up shivering in cold dead arms
it’s not just what you said, it’s criticisms of our half-lived lives
more in moments faking everything you felt
I’d rather die than live this lie
ive got a thousand reasons why
i think it’s time we take our leave from this charade
and I think it’s time we sat and had a talk about our future plans
they’re incompatible and I don’t think we’re ever going to last
i wanna run away, forget you and your empty promises
i never want to be reminded of this sham
I’d rather die than live this lie
ive got a thousand reasons why
i think it’s time we take our leave from this charade

a house a block away, someone remind me why I decided to stay
another cigarette is pressed between my lips
the room tilts backwards and I'll sit and spin
but I know I deserve worse than this
a vice is a walk away drink up polyesterics
and prey that this love will wake
pray make it stay
once again with less feelin
drink up the red, drink up the red
once again with less feelin ill sit and spin
ill sit and spin
and if I feel like shit again
im getting used to it
these days it's not as hard to stomach
so early up and out of bed
ignoring the voices don't ask me what the hell they've said
and I for one and going broke
drowning my monsters when I don't stand a chance
when she's puling and pulling and now i'll go back
