Tired... Look in the mirror. Who is that? Just a collection of compromises. There’s a hole in the chest. Waking up is heavy when the dream is dead and gone Put the mask of responsibility back on I’m acting out a script that I didn't even write Just a shadow boxing ghosts in the middle of the night. There’s a gap inside the ribs where the fire used to be Drowning in the shallow end of mediocrity I wasn't looking for a savior or a lover or a friend I was looking for the missing piece to make it start again. Then you stop the noise. You cut the wire. You look at me and set the whole damn house on fire. I’m not in love with you, I’m in love with the reflection You hold up the glass and I see the resurrection. I’m the hero of the movie, I’m the king inside the scene Addicted to the person that you make me believe I’ve been. Glitch stutter Wait. The temperature just dropped about ten degrees Silence on the line, now I’m begging on my knees The comfort turns to knots, yeah, the stomach starts to twist I’m checking on the phone for the signal that I missed. It’s a cold water shock, waking up the sleeping dread Retracing every single word that I ever said I’m terrified to lose it, I’ll do anything to stay Just give me back the warmth, don't take the light away! I DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE! I JUST WANT TO LOSE! TAKE THE BURDEN OFF MY BACK! LET THE SKY FADE TO BLACK! LEAD ME! BREAK ME! TAKE ME! The warmth returns... Like a needle in the vein. Salvation. I close my eyes. Let the current take me. (Just take me...) [fade to silence]
