Is this how it begins?
These means are to an end,
we could have seen it coming.
Does no good to stay,
we'll try to find a way,
maybe that's why we're running.
So smile and pull the pin,
you know you'll always win.
Baby, it's time to blow this all apart.
I'm so tired, wish I couldn't dream,
because your haunting me.
I'm awake again it seems.
So exhausted I could fucking cry,
but the well's run dry.
Tedious work to get to sleep,
and the rest is brief.
Where the fuck's your conscience?
Does it even exist?
It's a ghost, I guess.
Another moving shadow,
being chased through the mist,
that I can't catch on choppy seas.
I'm so tired, can't make it outside,
Why does the sun seem so bright these days?
So exhausted I could fucking die,
is that a possibility?
Tedious work to get to sleep,
and the rest is brief.
Brief:
And I know that you know by the look on your face.
And I know that you wouldn't because you couldn't anyway,
And I'm never ever ever gonna see you again,
And I'm never going to tell them that you were my friend.
