we scratch these walls that we have built this disbelief is useless we pull these stakes we ve driven in and i m pumped dry can you see it we fade to black and i m giving in my blood it spills on the city i m ripped apart back at the beginning can i say this confession of the heart will bleed until its end if we ever see the beginning my throat is dried out much like my patience and your nails are digging in as my ribcage cracks and i exhale this dying breath i see your face i see your face and i see that perfect smile fade these bones i keep in my closet keep me from the skin that is clinging to me not sure of what were the best days and everything in between seems obsolete i feel i m grounded with this weight that is breathing down my neck i m paralyzed with no confirmation of hope yet but the world will tease until all eyes are on me with this bitter taste dripping off of my teeth my bloody hands struggling to come clean i ve bled out all my reasoning and i ve watched your syllables subside but for good measure this time i ll smile until my teeth are rotting gums until i lose my fucking mind i heard you re doing great i m doing just fine the blood these knuckles have spared hasn t helped me wrap my head around this and from the water s edge i m losing mine in the shallow end i m the one in the back with fingernails in my eyes it took me years to see the situation fit don t look now as i fake a smile a thought memory when i don t give a shit i ve said this all before i ve said it loud enough and i ve said it a thousand times my veins are hollowed out and i drop like a bomb you never even saw coming these last days and this blackened heart has ceased to beat won t even start pumping i always feel like i m waiting around for tomorrow these eyes can t see what s lying right there in front of me what s lying right there in front of me and these walls all crumble to the ground the sky is red and its coming down i will never come down i will never come down we scratch these walls that we have built but this time i am letting go this time i am letting go we pull these stakes we ve driven in but this time i am letting go fade to black our tomorrows
