lyrics

Straight till morning it will bring
The quest within, what could have been
Catch the lifeline
A great escape for miles to see
Not all about just being short out of time
Dealing with a short fuse, I can never reach you
Living with the now-gone sour
Soon infects each passing hour
Laying down the hard truth, what won't kill will trick you

Run with this idea today
Target change some other way
A simple task, a simple mind
Each of your senses feels the rush
But always desire to give it up
Let go your defense

Gotta keep it all together, think it through
Gotta get a little further, better view
Once in a lifetime's not enough for you

Bits and pieces, they will sting
There's never really any answers
Just stretch out your real fright
Never meant to back down, not a controversy, can't be truly sorry
Grinding down the sick mood, wrapped around what’s untrue
This is all I ever had and you will never understand
Never let your stride choose, it will never miss you
