I watch the frozen pavement shudder The bricks see me coming and know I'm gonna weigh them down With a talent for heavy brooding A reluctant nihilist I've recently found I devour any compliment Aware of the bitter taste as it hits my tongue I'm earnestly concerned with preserving a sense of moral integrity I'll break your heart when you mistake me for someone new Always working in lines drawn by darkened views I am the thing I'm afraid to lose Warned by the noise in my chest And the detriments of wasting time Set ablaze the peace that I ache to find Burnt beyond recognition and cast aside Warned by the noise in my chest Warned by the noise I am forgetting and it terrifies me Absorbed and deformed in the way that it suits me It's gonna hurt like hell when I reach for your help but you've Left because you wanted to protect yourself I'll break your heart when you think I'm someone new Always working in lines drawn by darkened views I am the thing I'm afraid to lose Warned by the noise in my chest And the detriments of wasting time Set ablaze the peace that I ache to find Burnt beyond recognition and cast aside Warned by the noise in my chest I swear I try to see you eye to eye But it's so hard when you hold me up high I know I should be proud but I can't help That I hate the fact that I love myself
