The colors bleed in from the downslide, it's always been a part of the game

You're still standing around in squares wondering who's to blame

For all the years, gone by much quicker when you're young

We'll still smell the flowers bloom long after you're gone



You won't waste your time on lonely tales and nursery rhymes

Waste your time on clouded words and borrowed time but I have...I have to



The bottom just burned from the downslide

It's always been a part of your game, still standing around feeling

Proud with your Daddy's name

But can you feel...my heart gets darker with the sun?

So eager to please your past that you're willing to forget the one



Who won't waste your time on lonely tales and nursery rhymes

Waste your time on borrowed words and clouded minds but I have...I have to



Bitterness will get the best of you

Emptiness will get the best of you

Loneliness is always there for you

Happiness will be the death of you
