I don't want to fight about who's pulling the weight   wait for me upstairs I'll be up to rub your neck   I want to be let down and disenchanted   to walk through a cloud of disappointment - help me out   I thought I escaped but the snakes still came   wrapped around my body tangled up in my ribcage   we just need to find songs we want to hear   the sounds been making my blue eyes go gray all these years      I'm suffocating now   I overdosed somehow on my own medicine   I know all to well   the demons I can't handle   can hurt the ones I love   if I can hold them off, just long enough   I'll get my mind straight   that ought to hold them off, just long enough   I'll push this down inside      I know if we'd never met I'd be dead by now   I've been fucked up - a nervous wreck as long as I can remember   but you write the story so pick up the pen   draw me pretty pictures of everything I hope to live      we grew up way too fast   forget about the past   nothing can change that now   you'll learn to like the pain   and turn it into something   that everyone else can love   that ought to hold them off, just long enough   I'll get my mind straight   that ought to hold them off, just long enough   I'll push this down inside
