lyrics

i lost myself inside your friendship,
torn my vocal chords from swallowing my true intentions
and there's a lesson in this somewhere but i just don't see it yet

i convince my self that you, are waiting at the end of all the sentences i never seem to finish in time
and you, are waiting to reveal you care until i say a funny enough punchline

but the joke is always on me, if i pretend i hate myself enough, she'll never learn she hated me

so could whatever god i believe in, convince me to need somebody else
the violent stains that you were leaving, they don't wash out

your an oblivious killer, who was only ever trying to help

i don't try and find the answers, every time i do it scares away my hope
its all just so damn disappointing
so ill just close my eyes and visualize to cope

that you, are distracted while you sleep by me just like i am by you
i choose, to frantically deny myself, and confirm that its the truth

that ill always run around confused, and only in this stupid head of mine
is there a place for me and you

so could whatever god i believe in, convince me to need somebody more
the violent stains that you were leaving, they don't wash out

there's a lesson in this somewhere, but i just don't see it yet
