Leaving

Time lost, miles away
In a world of bullets
In a bed, of empty space
A picture frame, a portrait

The night falls, I'm awake
I'm left to rust in silence
Withdraw my mistakes
I'm left to trust in violence

Can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home

I'm alive
But paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving
Weak inside
But built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving

Headstones borrow names
Inscribed by anxious patients
Fate calls. Our blurry fate
Lies in the hands we're chased with
Bearing all
Bombs away
Curing fear with makeshift plans
Conquer the fall, we'll do it
Comfort the fall with bullshit

Can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home

I'm alive
But paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving
Weak inside
But built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving

Can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow
Will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home

I'm alive
But paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot 'em right between the eyes
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving
Weak inside
But built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let it go
When I'm leaving
