He threw down his pride cause it didn't serve his ego They say he took the pain out of his chest cause he couldn't feel it anymore He was really lonely and he needed to be believed. He had no one he could cry with, and he needed to be received. CHORUS Bitterness is the enemy he ignores is hunting him Forgivness is an ocean he's forgetting how to swim The jackal stalks the coastline seeking someone to devour One who's almost given up when the bell tolls midnight hour He's grown to hate to feel so vulnerable. He's started spurning feeling pain But somehow he is starving for the fall of honest rain. he's made a shell around his mouth he can't drink through anymore So he curses water-dwellers while he's standing on the shore, wishing he could go in.
