Verse 1) I sit in the kitchen, staring at the floor, Not fighting back, not speaking anymore. They think my silence is a loaded gun, They think I hate 'em by the way I shun. They see the scowl, they call it selfish pride, They don't see the hollow graveyard deep inside. I'm biting my tongue till it bleeds red, Swallowing the fury roaring in my head. (Chorus) 'Cause I’ve got no will left to ride this bike, I've pushed the fight down till I've gone too far. I'm empty, I'm quiet, I'm already gone, Just trying to keep from doing something wrong. You call me angry, you call me unkind, When I’m just trying to leave the demons behind. I just want to let go, let the river flow, Put down the weight that you'll never know. (Verse 2) Every heavy breath feels like a waste of air, I look at my hands and wonder why I'm there. My wife starts crying, says I've grown so cold, She thinks I'm a tyrant with a heart of old. If only she knew what I'm keeping back, How close I am to slipping off the track. I swallow the rage so it don't hit the kids, Hiding the fractures beneath my heavy lids. (Chorus) 'Cause I’ve got no will left to ride this bike, I've pushed the fight down till I've gone too far. I'm empty, I'm quiet, I'm already gone, Just trying to keep from doing something wrong. You call me angry, you call me unkind, When I’m just trying to leave the demons behind. I just want to let go, let the river flow, Put down the weight that you'll never know. (Bridge) You misread the withdrawal, you call it a wall, When it's the only thing keeping the ceiling from fall. I'm protecting you from the storm in my chest, While you tear me apart because I need rest. I don't want to fix it, I don't want to try, Just let me fade out under this heavy sky. I'm out of all fuel, I'm out of all grace, Just a ghost haunting a familiar place. (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus) 'Cause I’ve got no will left to ride this bike, I've pushed the fight down till I've gone too far. I'm empty, I'm quiet, I'm already gone, Just trying to keep from doing something wrong. You call me angry, you call me unkind, When I’m just trying to leave the demons behind. I just want to let go, let the river flow, Put down the weight that you'll never know. (Outro) Let it go... Let it all go. I'm not mad. I'm just empty. I'm just done. Close the door on the sun.
