Leaving

Time lost, miles away
In a world of bullets
In a bed, an empty space
A picture frame, a portrait

The night falls, I'm awake
I'm left to rust in silence
I withdraw my mistakes
I'm left to trust in violence

Well, can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow?
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home?

I'm alive but paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go when I'm leaving?
I'm weak inside but built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let this go when I'm leaving?

Headstones borrow names
Inscribed by anxious patients
Fate calls, our blurry fate
Lies in the hands we're chaste with

And bearing all, bombs away
Curing fear with makeshift plans
Conquer the fall, we'll do it
Comfort the fall with bullshit

Well, can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow?
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home?

I'm alive but paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go when I'm leaving?
I'm weak inside but built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let this go when I'm leaving?

Well, can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow?
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home?

I'm alive but paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go when I'm leaving?
I'm weak inside but built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let this go when I'm leaving?
