The Ink Room

I will release you
and I pray that you run
Take your heart and put it away
Cause I will break it if you stay

I am weak in you
Your presence surrounds me
And all I want to do is keep it
All I want to do is need it

Please don't do this
Don't build your house around me
On the ground of my heart
Because a broken house you will have from the start

My eyes hold dreams of you
Dreams I want
Oh go, please before I can't stop
God take my tears, cause that's all I've got

I release you
You owe me nothing
Take your heart and run
Take my heart and run

I'm going insane!
Locked in my rubber room.
Bouncing off the walls,
the walls of doom.

Body being destroyed,
it was never made right.
I know i'll probably go soon,
NOT WITHOUT A FUCKING FIGHT!

I won't let it control me,
I haven't yet.
I can't let it take me,
I haven't yet.

PILLS PILLS PILLS!
Gotta take 'em to be safe.
FIX ME! I BEG YOU!,
I hate living like this!

You don't understand,
you just work on it.
DOCTOR DOCTOR!
Have you ever had it?

You're so innocent,
just doing your job.
Telling me i'm fine,
while I feel trapped in time.

GET IT OUT!
TAKE IT AWAY!
STOP THIS SHIT!
I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!

Bouncing insane,
off these walls.
Fix me now,
please,
before I fall.

How do you say goodbye and hello in the same breath
How do you know what is true and what is a lie
How do you hold on, when you know there's nothing left
How do all the tears that fall feel so dry

Is there ever really an answer you'll accept
Or is this life just a tragic game of chance
And if you roll the dice can you live with what you get
How can you rise above when the world leads the dance

And I’ve been away from myself for so long
The mirror shows a strangers life to me
I may be tough but I know I'm not that strong
When I realize this is all I'll ever be

I long for a forgotten dream that my soul still misses
Forever is so overrated and today is just a waste
Tomorrow is filled with all those false promises
And the grave is in the lips I taste

Now or never or is that a lie too
Will all these years just fade away
Will I ever know exactly what to do
And have all the words I want to say

Tragically forgotten in the mix is my promise to me
And the truth that I swore I would never again hide
Is there ever simplicity in anything we can see
Or are we just that broken and lost inside....
