Had it and lost it
Broke and I bought it
Dropped and I caught it
Holding on but
Slipping through fingers
Silence that lingers
Halfway to bitter
Ain’t no right way to
Wake it the morning
In this bedroom I’ve seen you crawl to me
My walls are empty
Screaming your name, Screaming your name
Now I’m wondering how
We ticked the time away and tore this down
I needed a voice to scream out the window
I ain’t gonna change, I don’t wanna change
Pattern emerging
Carrying burdens
Wrong and I’m learning
I won’t fight
So I left it alone
Gathered my bones
Swords outta stones
Marching to the beat of my drummer
In this bedroom I’ve seen you wake to me
We’re running on empty
We’re losing the race the sun in my face
Now I’m wondering how
We ticked the time away and tore this down
I needed a voice to scream out the window
I ain’t gonna change, I don’t wanna change
Look, I’ll spell it all out
We wasted every day we spent on the ground
I needed to fly straight out the window
Leaving our cage, turning the page
Sit, wait, watch and breathe
The emptiness that shattered me
We’re growing restlessly engaged
In spirals downward
And we’ve lost touch with reality
Trade community for identity
In circles, that leave behind
The ones that clash with future smiles
Look, I’ll spell it all out
We wasted every day we spent on the ground
I needed to fly straight out the window
Leaving our cage, turning this page
And now I’m wondering how
We ticked the time away and tore this down
Needed a voice to scream out the window
I ain’t gonna change, I don’t wanna change
