lyrics

Maybe this hole will guide you home.
Maybe this heart will find a home.
I'm a martyr, a victim, a child of the system.
Your hearts at war with your conscience, your vison, your lack of ambition. God rest your soul.
You're wasting time so you shouldn't even bother, because I could wait around all night long... but in the end its just another summer.
And in the end I'll be taking nothing from her.
(The problems we've been through, I thought that I knew you. We all need more.)
There she goes...
We're never gonna go to sleep tonight so save all your dreams for another time. I've been told its a hell of a ride. You better buckle up because its gonna be a good one. I think we better hit the road tonight; we'll be running on empty but it feels just right. The cold blows through your hair in the air. We're all covered up, we just need a little sunlight. We walk among the living dead. We slip, like ghosts, through your hands. Speak soft and lay your head to rest. Maybe we'll mend this broken home, these sunken stones. Maybe these eyes will someday find your better side alone. (How many times will I have to say it? Sometimes I feel like you're the one jaded. All of your lies, I'm sick of this feeling. I hope these faults don't keep me from coming home.
