Thought I Was

Dried up bitter heart
It's been one too many times
But I'm shot and I'm hopeless
Just goin' through the motions

Tried to cut the tie
Just hangin' by a thread
But I ain't right without it
And I'm afraid of consequence

I'M LIVIN' WITH A TWO-FACED DOG
WAITIN' TO TAKE BACK CONTROL
I'M CAUGHT UP IN A WOLD WHERE I LAY
IN THE BED THAT I MADE AS THE LIFE KEEPS BEATIN'

I'M RUNNIN' WITH A BURDEN ON ME
I'M BEIN' THE BEST I CAN BE
WITH THE BITCH LIKE THE SUN WHEN I WAIT
IF IT'S TIME FOR THE WORD TO COME WITH THE DARKNESS

Sick of the me I made
In the doubt I'm always in
It's not about where I'm goin'
But where I've already been

I've severed every one of my ties
Yeah, there's nothing else to do
Now I'm back to where I was before
I got nobody to amuse

FORGET ABOUT THE WAY THAT I FELT ON THE DAY I WAS BORN AND EVERY ONE AFTER
FORGET ABOUT THE HOOK IN MY MOUTH WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS CAUGHT AND IT WAS ALL OVER
THERE AIN'T A WALL, THERE AIN'T A REASON TO STOP THIS CLIMBIN'
THERE AIN'T ENOUGH VOICE BUT, GOD-DAMN, GO AHEAD AND LET IT ALL COME OUT.

WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - 'TIL I FEEL ALIVE?
WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - 'TIL I FEEL ALIVE?
WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - 'TIL I FEEL ALIVE?

BECAUSE MY BACK AIN'T THE ONLY THING TO THE WALL
I SEE A CHANCE AND I'M GONNA TAKE IT
YEAH, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN RIGHT
BUT TOO MANY RIGHTS AND YOU END UP BACK WHERE YOU STARTED
WHERE YOU STARTED, WHERE YOU STARTED

WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - 'TIL I FEEL ALIVE?
WILL I WAIT - FOREVER?
WILL I WAIT - 'TIL I FEEL ALIVE?
