(Verse)
Lord knows I've been willing more than once
To walk a mile in someone's shoes to feel their pain or get their point
Worth saying all I can to get you out into the open for a reason I can't see
Or a feeling I can't remember
What's asking if the backing always fails
Making sure they get ahead
But always running when the time comes
Smearing words in this letter to myself
Staking claims on all the days
I'm speaking up, I need more than this gun to get out
Just cause
Falling short of making moves
Every time I'm coming close
Pa**ing night's by writing tell all
Story's about how far I got and how I never gave in
Tempted fate cause all I knew was a job
What happens when your left out in the open
Saying more than what they want
Giving all that they can handle
If they knew how it felt
If they saw how it feels
I can't taste it on the end of my days
Lord knows I've been waiting all these years to let it shine through
Doing everything I can to get all of these hours back
Lost them all in a comfort skating through not looking twice
Now I'm left out in the cold
Now I'm left out in this mess
Now I'm living on the edge of what it use to be or how it must have looked to see the sun without the people running round
What if they could show them all
How to make it on their own
Maybe sleeping at the wheel would be a thing of your past
(Chorus)
Here I am hear I am smearing words
Taking time
Making rights
Doing years
Not knowing where I'm headed
They're they are
Stealing life's
Breaking minds
Taking wrongs
Here I am hear I am smearing words
Taking time
Making rights
Doing years
Not knowing where I'm headed
They're they are
Stealing life's
Breaking minds
Taking wrongs
(Verse)
As the tear drops fall the water collects like dust
After all of this I'll stand on my two feet just as tall
Calling the heaven gates there's a hole in wall, but I still can't escape
I've learned to call it my fate and picked up what they didn't take
Moving away but my bad luck seems to follow right along
Singing the same old version of a perfect repetitive song
Call it a phase, call it a style, time of your life, then look in my eyes
Finally back to reality thats why I'm still alive
The city train arrived the D line, hope for some sunshine, after all these places your still dead in my mind
The vegas nights alive and also captured in time
You'll loose this message in lines like baby I'm still a lie
Forgotten the past, thats why it never gets better
Cold nights while counting bills with my finger on the trigger
Bringing it back to the days where I connect and remember
Hoping to close all the doors before the end of the winter
