Hold back the tide And you're the tip of the spear Always and only the words you fear Well one needs you well no one needs you I distanced myself from what I needed most Now it envelopes me again Passive aggression in the wake of regret All the things I've left behind I am my own thorn in my side Circumstances allow the world to spin backwards No one pays who truly deserves And those who know nothing can understand nothing I've been bitter for so many months Watching the stars blink out one by one Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun One day I swear I'll be loud enough Plunge your hands back into the filth Fight with all of your self control Mind over matter this temple you once called your own I don't know how I couldn't see through the cracks in my shell I don't know how they didn't see that I was trapped in myself I need my skin replaced Don't let them tell you who you are What's right what's wrong The world does not bow to the whim of those who cannot even think for themselves This bridge between our souls has burned It's not safe to walk on This bridge has burned It's not safe, it's not safe it has burned It's not safe to walk on I've been bitter for so many months Watching the stars blink out one by one Clawing at my eyes screaming at the sun One day I swear I'll be loud enough You'll never know your best days until they've come and gone So dig yourself out from your hole in the floor How many days have you just wished that you'd done more
