How much will this distance grow How long will I be left alone I'd swing like the silhouette of a defiled angel And wipe my blood on the walls for just one more day A chance to separate the loving From the paralyzed empty soul We've been down this path But this time you brought your fate I know how the story ends Yet I'm afraid to turn the page A perfect day ends with a lie And today is no different Walk hand in hand with your heartless grin And I'll do the same I paint a smile on myself every time I see you Because I know the day will come When these incisions will be your own reflections And the knife will be in my hands
