i'm left lying down
with my dreams and my love at my feet
to keep both the only answer is an escape,

tangled problems
but you won't let me begin to suceed
'cause than your sure i'll get away,

and if i don't come back dear
will you know that i love you
and that you were the one
that they didn't push me away from you
believe that i will come back
one cold late lonely night,
i'll open the door and crawl into bed beside you,
to make sure my last escape is with you
with your fingers tangled in my hair
and your lips on my neck

to throw our wildest dreams into the sky
and all our problems into the scattered dirt

i prayed this wouldn't happen
knew it was the break and the bend
she told me that there wouldn't be many more nights i'd be laying
in your arms,
said she'd pull me from you by the hair, kicking and screaming

but mom i've always know i'm alone
knew that i'd be doing this on my own
but aren't you proud of all the material thing you have
because to throw it all into a pile
wouldn't amount even close to the happiness he brings to me
the true unbreakable bond,
its a brick wall your material possesions can't knock down

does this sufficate you
are you gasping for your last breath...
lay down again for a few more months
to save you from your loss of breath

what i do, and what i've done for you could never be enough
see you like to watch me falling off the edge

so i'll lay down next to him,
stare into a pair of eyes that believe in me,
there not stepping all over my dreams
there only lifting me higher
easing this pain a little more each day
their there to hold me
and tell the lie that everythings gon' be alright
but the lie is better than the reality
that my life is going to be my greatest struggle
it's a book that i can't read
it's a clock but i never know the time
a radio with songs i can't sing

so where do i run
what direction do i turn
i know you won't follow
but i'm still frightened, i'm still looking behind me dad
still making sure i dont scuff my feet
make sure my breaths are shallow
so i don't make a sound

take me under your arms
tell me where to hide
when they come
make sure its dark there and a little too secluded from everyone
stay in this place with me
and for each breath we take i let you steal more of me willingly
make sure you unlock the doors so they can't get inside us
