I don't want to fight about who's pulling the weight Wait for me upstairs I'll be up to rub your neck I want to be let down and disenchanted To walk through a cloud of disappointment - help me out I thought I escaped but the snakes still came Wrapped around my body tangled up in my ribcage We just need to find songs we want to hear The sounds been making my blue eyes go gray all these years I'm suffocating now I overdosed somehow on my own medicine I know all to well The demons I can't handle Can hurt the ones I love If I can hold them off, just long enough I'll get my mind straight That ought to hold them off, just long enough I'll push this down inside I know if we'd never met I'd be dead by now I've been fucked up - a nervous wreak as long as I can remember But you write the story so pick up the pen Draw me pretty pictures of everything I hope to live We grew up way too fast Forget about the past Nothing can change that now You'll learn to like the pain And turn it into something That everyone else can love That ought to hold them off, just long enough I'll get my mind straight That ought to hold them off, just long enough I'll push this down inside
