Myself + Sanity

Closer you are But further from the truth How could I believe in myself When you held all the proof This block is colder now Chicago’s not the same It seems these streets and my dreams are haunted and You are all to blame And I can’t stand it, the heavy handed, way you held my heart I just fall down, feel so small now, the way you hurt me is like an art But it’s too late to appreciate, all that you have taken from me All this I’ve lost track, all I want back, myself and sanity The taste of your kiss was priceless The words from your lips were cheap Your green-blue eyes hid all the lies The three word promise you didn’t keep I’m told that memories all fade but I just can’t forget about Ignorance is bliss, cause knowing this Is knowing what I will live without Escaping these thoughts is impossible, and with this city the same is true The trains pass by, God still I try, I always miss them like I miss you Though this bed’s empty, I think I’m ready, to return to the former me Accept what I lack, what I can’t get back, Myself and sanity, woe ho Myself and sanity, uh-huh Myself and sanity, oh-ho Myself and sanity, oh-oh Give them back to me
