Save Yourself

The name of love and the mother of mankind A final thought from another state of mind Another victory could turn the tide Oh god, we're surrounded on all sides What was once there is now a thousand years away What killed me might not make you stronger But it still kills me to say I know that the light never left your eyes You need it now more than ever I bet the leaves are changing where you are I know we can't all sleep through the weather Heartache and silence bearing down onto me Forward motion, there is no more in between I saw a vision of regression It brings be back to all those nights I couldn't sleep I know that the light never left your eyes You need it now more than ever I bet the leaves are changing where you are I know we can't all sleep through the weather Heartache and silence bearing down onto me Forward motion, there is no more in between My heart is somewhere in between us But I won't find it at the bottom of this bottle And then I asked myself, "Are you ready to go?" There's still a 120 stories left to fall When the crowd goes silent The kids turn violent Pulling teeth and fingernails to wear around their necks Standing on my head to get a taste of oblivion I'll let it get a taste of me because all I bleed is medicine Buried underneath a life of concrete and cigarettes Fingers turn to roaches breeding sin among the throes of regret Lost in time, bereft of feeling, I've decided to let them take me Save yourself
