There’s a hope in my head 
That’s been cut and bled 
Dry as your bloodshot eyes 
And there’s smoke in the air 
And it’s soon to clear 
Revealing our demise 
There are some who say 
That it’s a-ok 
If it makes you feel alright 
This is way too bad 
Now you’re worse than sad 
All locked up there inside 

And I don’t know how you feel 
But I’ll make you a deal 
If u make it out alive 
My shoulders and ears are yours my dear 
I hope it comes as no surprise 
You’ve been known to say that you’re a-ok 
When you’re feeling sick inside 
I just want you to know 
I’ve got no place to go 
Until the day you die 

While you’re waiting 
Be thankful for your fingers 
I’ll be fading 
With the colors of your pictures 
I’m not crying wolf you whispered 
I’m really dead this time 
I’m really dead this time 

There’s a hope in my head 
That’s been cut and bled 
Dry as your bloodshot eyes 
And there’s smoke in the air 
And it’s soon to clear 
Revealing our demise 
You’ve been known to say that you’re a-ok 
When you’re feeling dead inside 
I just want you to know 
I’ve got no place to go 
Until the day you die 

While you’re waiting 
Be thankful for your fingers 
I’ll be fading 
With the colors of your pictures 
I’m not crying wolf you whispered 
I’m really dead this time 
I’m really dead this time 

They locked you up 
They threw away the key 
Sutured your mouth shut 
Murdered your family 
Right before your eyes 
What could you do 
Right before your eyes 
They took it all from you 

Contemplating 
You hanging from your ceiling 
Can't help hating 
You for having that feeling 
I’m not joking when I tell you 
I miss you all the time 
I already miss you all the time
