Lyrics:
The fights, they never end
Like the nights, they've taken me over
And yeah I get the fear
But I cannot be bothered
All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside
You know you wanna run away
We shared out dreams
And nearly everything in between
I'll never forget those
Long lost days in a haze
Where we lost ourselves with no apology
All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside
You know you wanna jump in
To the pit
Back to life distorted (So sordid)
We fell down dead
But nobody saw it
I got twenty faces and I'm talking in tongues
I fell like the devil
What does the devil do?
You know you wanna run away
Fault lines all on the wrong side of daylight
Slight on the deck and its fine
We can hold on for a lifetime
You know you wanna run away
