If you could notice me now, could you see
all the envy behind those eyes they told endless lies
and after all the view’s still black & white
Is it within where you’d absolve my sins,
and measure up the way that I have lived
with all my good intentions? So every now and then
I’ll think of why it had to end It came and went
like a match that burnt at both ends.
Save your breath, we only get so many chances
After all we’ve been through
I always knew it would end with you
And I, what good am I?
And I've known this all my life.
It’s like you say ‘there’s no easy way to escape’
Rest assured I’m self medicated out the front door
It burnt at both ends
I’m self medicating
Save your breath, we only get so many chances
And after all we’ve been through
I always knew it would end with you
I keep talking to myself
I’ve been my own best friend as well
I know you never meant it like that
but it’s another knife added in my back
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
