Any stolen work of mine will be reported. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The house is quiet But the silence sounds expensive Like something's already gone A low hum beneath the floorboards A storm trapped inside the walls Waiting I knew that phone call had my name on it A shadow pacing circles in the hall Every morning I pretended not to hear it Every night I built a fortress from it all I crossed oceans made of broken promises Dragged my bleeding hands across the stone Built a life from scraps and stubborn breathing Now the wolves are standing at the door Funny how the sky waits for your weakest moment Funny how the tide pulls hardest when you're tired I can hear the thunder underneath the concrete I can feel the cracks before they split the wire I can see the shape of the fall now Standing in the doorway like a ghost Every dream I've carried on my shoulders Hanging by a thread that's almost broke And the hole below is calling my name louder With a voice that sounds like giving up If a miracle doesn't find me soon I'm afraid I'll learn what villains are made of Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh... Every step ahead cost blood and sleep Every mile was earned the hard way through But life kept moving every finish line Five more miles the second I got to Now the numbers don't lie anymore Now the truth is staring back at me Cold and ugly underneath harsh lighting Like a sentence handed down for free I can feel the anger growing teeth now Feel it scratching underneath my skin Every prayer is turning into static Every answer wearing paper thin I can see the shape of the fall now Standing in the doorway like a ghost Every dream I've carried on my shoulders Hanging by a thread that's almost broke And the hole below is calling my name louder With a voice that sounds like giving up If a miracle doesn't find me soon I'm afraid I'll learn what villains are made of Maybe this is how the stories happen Not with fire Not with greed Just a thousand disappointments Stacked upon a soul that couldn't leave Villains aren't born laughing They begin like this Holding everyone they love While the world closes its fist Darkness isn't chosen Sometimes it just arrives When you've begged the universe for mercy And mercy never replies I tried I tried I tried God knows I tried I carried every weight they handed me I carried every wound But something in me is changing now I can see the shape of the fall now Feel the ground dissolving underneath Every promise that I made to keep fighting Flickering like a candle in the wind And the hole below is reaching up to take me With its cold familiar gravity If a miracle doesn't break the night apart There may not be much left of me So I'm standing at the edge and staring downward At the place I've feared for all these years Wondering if strength is really courage Or just surviving One more day Of fear And somewhere in the dark The fall is waiting Patiently For me
