big failure's coming near, as her first son dies
as i look into those tired eyes

i see years of lies and a good disguise

against what her pride has become
he was so young, now he's got a gun
pointed right, at his own heart

she knew from the start, that he was born to die

 

It won't change

I'm sorry that i'm not the same
patching up wounds that bled for years
all i wanna do is stay right here

 

I gaze past a broken man

a knife, a bottle, in each hand

he seems intent on giving up

because life is tough, and this is way too much

 

and as he sees me stare

he stays right there, he won't go anywhere

"cause anywhere is no place for me

why can't you see? this is my eternity"

Come what may
I'm ready to defend anything

I'm tired now, can i please go?

I think it's best i'm left alone
