lyrics

We're not born to be liars
Not born to be thieves
Just get caught up in the moment
We don't know what it all means

It came to me in a vision
It was more than just a dream
Where I was a Lion
And you were my Queen

My words
Mean nothing
Just Scratches
On a page
Your Words
Mean the world
Though they fill my heart with rage

All I want's
to be comfortably numb
Well I'm numb for sure
I'm numb and it hurts
Each breath
Is wasted
My Lungs
Don't exist
All I can feel is my heart
Digging it's way out my chest

Scratches on my brain
That's all they ever were
Just a product of the pain
Long days we must endure
Why won't it just go away?
I just want it to go away

I try sometimes to explain my thoughts
I can write them down
I could shout them out
But something keeps them
Inside of me
It's my fatal flaw
It's my enemy

If I could tell you
Then things would change
And maybe my life
Would rearrange
My words could change things
I know they could
But my words fall short
Like I'd feared they would

I believe in the changing of seasons
Things go wrong there must be a reason
Maybe that's why I sit here and write
To scratch away all the pain
I just want it to go away
Why won't it just go away?

Maybe we're born to be liars
Maybe we're born to be thieves
Get caught up in the moment
And fall down to our knees

But I've seen the vision
Yes I want to believe
that I am a Lion
and you are my Queen
