Dark Nights

I bought a map today
And put lines through the names of the places I’ve been
I’ve got nights to burn and many reasons why
Oh look there it goes again
Another night where we can all pretend
That we’re not all part of the same problem
There’s nothing I want from this place
There’s nothing I want from this place
There’s nothing I want from this place

Old friends fall by the way side
And in the back of my mind
I think I always knew I’d end up alone
I know I’ve been a burden and
I’ve been acting like I’m dead
And I know that there’s a distance
I’m the one who let it grow, just like these feelings
I wonder where you are tonight

What ever happened to facing your problems
I watch them falling like the leaves do in autumn
What ever happened to the people that we used to be?
That tiny spark that our parents used
To hold before their bodies got so cold

Do you ever feel like you’re talking to yourself?
That they only really give a shit when they’ve a problem you can fix?
Do you ever feel like the walls are closing in?
That the only reason you’re still here is a matter of convenience?
Time heals everything that’s what they say, but they haven’t lived this life
Watched all the sleepless nights turn us into
All the things we never thought that we would be
I often wonder how we got so broken man?
