Say, can I keep this up Rushing to and fro, to the furthest reaches of my own misery keeps me company I'd rather go it alone I never did what was expected of me 'cause I can't see what everyone wants me to see And I've been walking this path through thick and thin with this pitch black darkness trapped within I can see my demons, they never stay And every time I reach out they turn away So we keep on playing this little game of our narrow escapes Cause I can see their eyes and they're watching me, leading me away from reality Echoes of the whispers in the night speak in tongues I can't translate So if I ever wish that I could turn this pitch black into an understanding of what it means to be lonely The one and only, I'll swallow this truth in gulps I hope I can keep this up, rushing to and fro, in this never-ending game Tell me truthfully can this misery fade away So tell me, can this misery fade away
