Looking to the sky with questions
Wondering how this misdirection
Came to be the street my life has paved
Why the voices so familiar
Fade into the hemisphere
The more I crave
The more they slip away
Theres no happily-ever-after
Just some tears we smear with laughter

The bits and the pieces of something that almost feels like a dream
A drink, a pill, but still you cant escape reality
When youre turning insides out
This is what its all about
Bailing out the boat before you drowned
Now that youre turning insides out
This is what its all about
Who knew you could scream so loud
