lyrics

Cautious got a complex for dishonesty
Here it sits in front of me
She's cutting it close to feeling so wrong
Something has got ahold, it lurks down below
Careful it doesn't get too close
Is she by the door? Or in the hall?
Give her back her hand, or she'll burn us all
Besides the feeling that I get when you disown me
I curse my eyes because it's something that I didn't see
I'm out of touch and out of time without a gasping reach
The pearled gates have opened up and they have summoned me
It's not enough you'd rip my heart out
I'd give it to you openly
It's not enough when you show me regret
But it's too late
Misery loves company (It's You)
When you're stranded gotta hand it to you
No one seems to drag me down the way you do (torn)
Battered and abused
Seeded fears instilled in a yound mind
I guess it's part of growing up
I've read the writings on the wall but have ignored them
You've questioned everything but somehow reaffirmed the sense
I'm fighting hard to keep this tongue from finally slipping out
You open wide and it'd be wise for you to shut your mouth
I held you in the highest of regards
Collapse to the force of pushing over
Oh, it's me you wanted
Oh, contained or at large
Time is what it should have been
Keep on leading her on
I'd do it over if I could again
Would I be wrong, or am I wrong?
Face first to the wind while you sway
Good God can you tell when it's over?
I think, "Oh well..."
