There’s a hope in my head
That’s been cut and bled
Dry as your bloodshot eyes
And there’s smoke in the air
And it’s soon to clear
Revealing our demise
There are some who say
That it’s a-ok
If it makes you feel alright
This is way too bad
Now you’re worse than sad
All locked up there inside

And I don’t know how you feel
But I’ll make you a deal
If u make it out alive
My shoulders and ears are yours my dear
I hope it comes as no surprise
You’ve been known to say that you’re a-ok
When you’re feeling sick inside
I just want you to know
I’ve got no place to go
Until the day you die

While you’re waiting
Be thankful for your fingers
I’ll be fading
With the colors of your pictures
I’m not crying wolf you whispered
I’m really dead this time
I’m really dead this time

There’s a hope in my head
That’s been cut and bled
Dry as your bloodshot eyes
And there’s smoke in the air
And it’s soon to clear
Revealing our demise
You’ve been known to say that you’re a-ok
When you’re feeling dead inside
I just want you to know
I’ve got no place to go
Until the day you die

While you’re waiting
Be thankful for your fingers
I’ll be fading
With the colors of your pictures
I’m not crying wolf you whispered
I’m really dead this time
I’m really dead this time

They locked you up
They threw away the key
Sutured your mouth shut
Murdered your family
Right before your eyes
What could you do
Right before your eyes
They took it all from you

Contemplating
You hanging from your ceiling
Can't help hating
You for having that feeling
I’m not joking when I tell you
I miss you all the time
I already miss you all the time
