Lyrics

The light refused us with designed intent Into darkness we retreated to seek defense With patience and logic new hope extends To be different, to be lucky, and to die happy So I go down, down the stair-air-case and out, out the front door There is no time left to waste, a lifetime spent being choked When I'm at school it's like I'm dead Then the weekend comes and I resurrect These old fears, these old dreams They follow, they're chasing me To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue And try to speak those ancient words again It's patience and logic that killed true love Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone Go find yourself a dry place where the storm can't touch you any more Lay down and let time-ime waste, a lifetime is being choked Cause there's no place left to feel at home The years have past and I'm alone With these same fears, these dead dreams They strangle, they're killing me Me To get far
