lyrics

We dug this hole I'm stuck in
and you won't throw a rope to save my life
I'm losing hope that there is
something for us like an afterlife
you might as well just nail me
to the cross right now
or whatever you'll allow
and I'm in the dark
just wandering round
and every turn i make is still
wrong somehow

and i know
i let you down
and despite all my best efforts
its never good enough for now
and i tried my best
to warn you how
im a constant disappointment
otherwise i don't know how

to fix this mess
that is my life
I've been treading water
when you wanted me to fly
and i think its time
you just let me sink
let the water fill my lungs and you won't even have to think

if this is love
its all I've ever wanted
and I'm learning now that its not good enough
And all my friends are dead and gone
and the ones still here just always want to call my bluff
So sail off to
the coast of lake michigan
leave me in the water ill be fine
because i know
i won't be remembered fondly
your eyes will remain dry

If this is it
if this is really the end
then I'm sad to say i have so much regret
and i don't get
why you won't even tell me
so im damned to second guess my every step
if there was
just a time to say fuck it
its right now
ill crawl back to just being lost
so burn it down
let the fire just surround me
leave the pile of ash that was my thoughts

And if you want to remember
all the time we spent together
bang your head against the fucking walls.
