 Lyrics


 


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 Verse 1 - x1


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 lead me around


 and nurse my broken wing


 with all the promises


 you can never honor


 I just dont care enough


 to react to vain attempts


 sent only to perpetuate


 one's selfish little world.


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 Prechorus 1 - x2


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 you wont see what ive become


 youll wait and watch and still youre only let down.


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 Chorus - x2


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 a violent reaction


 struggling only to keep myself alive.


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 Verse 2 - x1


 

 
 -------------------------

 


 now here I stand


 for nothing no one at all


 I lead you down


 begging to touch you in the cold


 you give me a reason


 I will not be the one


 through all the nonsense


 there is a constant.
