about

this song was a short attempt to reach a complete level of sobriety
in my own sick sense I feel the only way to cope with it was to write out my reasons.

lyrics

I want to embrace
Something less than hate
And I've been counting
the seconds on the clock
since my fall from grace
and my sins have been made
bolder than my mistakes

And I'm at the end of my tightrope
looking for an escape

So I walk in and out
of another crowd I can't face
looking for a scapegoat
to keep myself from unravelling
my wounds. so if you will
seal my fate
and give me something to love
someone to believe in.
so I can escape the enemy I've
stitched to my face
as I paint my world
with beauty and disgrace

to hide from my reflection
abandon my affection
just to burn another lesson
and build another bridge with a weapon
I have been made to stand still
a statuette.
someone please cut down this tree
and burn my roots

and after the ashes settle into dust
I will be born a new
and learn to trust
without this god damn crutch
and let these bottles erode into rust

So I walk in and out
of another crowd I can't face
looking for a scapegoat
to keep myself from unravelling
my wounds. so if you will
seal my fate
and give me something to love
someone to believe in.
so I can escape the enemy I've
stitched to my face
as I paint my world
with beauty and disgrace

as I paint my world
with beauty and disgrace
