lyrics

Trying hard to smile
Carved in your face
An image suspended in time
Choked on laughter

Driving in silence
Reached into nothing

It's funny how you sigh when delivering good news
Sensation can't recall your belligerent short fuse
IT's how I try to hold on to you
I'm failing now it's time to try someone new

better off than we were before
better to leave things as they were
perspective shifting
internal reeling

All I ever wanted
Was to listen
All I ever wanted
Was a way out

You wasted your life
