lyrics

Cut to me in a week
I will evaporate
Roll down the sink
I wish I could cry
Feel relief
All my real feelings trapped inside of me
So I turn to words
Spit them out
In the hopes that someone
Will come help me out

I can't fit food down my mouth
Walking around in a cloud
What can I do to get back to you?
Send me a clue

Board a plane
Drive my car
I doubt that either would get me far
Cuz I don't know if I can change
But you know that I don't want to stay the same

I watch as the birds fly south
Soon the snow hits the ground
Missing the warmth that I felt in your arms
Now you are gone

Remember this: I will miss
Your powdery scent and your selfless kiss

So I run from the thoughts in my head
The memories of things that are dead
I can't go home cuz I'd die there alone
I can't go home cuz I'd die there alone
And so I roam
So I roam
