lyrics

I’d been dreaming, never thinking
that playing this game isn’t winning.
I’ll never see this the same.

Sometimes I swear I’ll never get out of this goddamn town.
I’ll walk along these empty roads until I find a place to call my home.

All these people here think they’re living,
they’re barely breathing, barely existing.
It’s coming back again, the same old feeling.
I don’t want to go, but I guess I’m leaving.

Say goodbye.

I can see the road from here,
and I don’t know exactly where it goes.
All I know is along the way
I’ll find a place to call my home.

Time after time, time and time again,
all I ever seem to find is dead end after dead end.
On and on it goes more pointless than before,
all I ever seem to find is dead end after dead end.

I’d been dreaming, never thinking
that playing this game isn’t winning.
I’ll never see this the same.

Sometimes I swear I’ll never get out of this goddamn town.
I’ll walk along these empty roads until I find a place called home.

Time after time, time and time again,
all I ever seem to find is dead end after dead end.
On and on it goes more pointless than before,
all I ever seem to find is dead end after dead end.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words,
well all these photographs all across my walls:
They don’t say a word,
they don’t speak at all,
they just go on an on and on.
Come on!

Say goodbye.

I won’t forget the day that I woke up
In a cold sweat in my room.
Peeling away the paint on these walls
Let the iron bars show right through.

When I look into my own reflection
I don’t know who’s in front of me
But I can tell by the look on his face
he’s scared to death of everything.

Someone please, I’m in need of a chaser
‘cause right now clarity tastes so bitter.
Someone please, we’re dealing with a crisis.
Meaning was lost; constant fear lives behind it.

I’d been dreaming, never thinking
that playing this game…
I’ll never see this the same.

Some times I swear I’ll never get out of this goddamn town.
I’ll walk along these empty roads until I find a place to call my home.

Sometimes I swear I’ll never get out of this goddamn town.

Sometimes, I swear…
