lyrics

I count by ones and twos as you count by squares and blues. I"ll read the pages as you skim the book. Sail the sea of desperation while I climb the mount of confidence. You bite the hands that fed and you spat in the face of those closest to you. You have no idea who you are. Brace for the crash. It's always been foresight. You know (you have known), but nothing can prepare you for the fall. Spiraling down the same staircase that took you so long to climb. Strange how the journey down is always so swift. You build up faith in the falsehoods and friends in all places. I've just started to scratch the surface and my nails are already bleeding.
