lyrics

face to face
shitfaced wide open
mind and arms
embrace each other
i wish i
knew just what you were
going through
all of these years
i was too dumb
to be aware of
blinded by my
stupid ego

here i am bare
trying to show
how much i care

stuck in the middle
of this sad street
on our way
straight to the dead end
where it all
began and will end
lost boys
stumbling through words
how we built
this thing together
how it is
still our fuel
i know this
does not make sense
nothing does
at the dead end

a jigsaw puzzle with broken pieces
coherence seekers keep on seeking
with mile thick walls or not
this is all we've got
searching for our dead end until we fall

in the beginning there was a need
to express our interests and ideas as loud as possible
our abilites to do so were a secondary concern
there was the usual attitude that comes with youth
that all the others they just don't understand
but i think they understood
that one part of the whole just wasn't quite up to par
and with time passing that gap just grew bigger
and with that came thoughts of the cost
of being the weak link
and whether carrying that title was worth it
or just an act of selfishness
acting as a sort of a virus in an otherwise healthy organism
that just might have to lose a limb to survive

but the need is still there
and the need needs to be fed
and it takes us all to hold the fork and knife
and cut in to the bone and tear the flesh
and force it down their throats
