In the Violence

I can't help but looking at the date I do the math and smile Might be fine, but I'm sad I'm done hiding in my pride I'm still wandering between life-sized vestiges of us two Looking at me with your beady eyes I can tell you miss her too And I can't explain Cause I can't comprehend I will never bet on me again Perfect (Sight) When we (Lie) Your hand in (Mine) Freezing (Time) Shortest (Sight) Beautiful (Lie) Buried (Mine) Wasted (Time) It's all so clear now (It's all so clear now) Nothing left to waste (Nothing left to waste) It's mostly sweet now (It's mostly sweet now) Bitter aftertaste (Bitter aftertaste) It's all so clear now (It's all so clear now) Nothing left to waste (Nothing left to waste) It's mostly sweet now (It's mostly sweet now) Bitter aftertaste Tonight I feel like getting hurt Listening to sad songs in my bed I should have burned those letters long ago I'm writing them instead I'm so scared to end up like my dad Like a menace from above Even though you promised me I wouldn't My forsaken summer love Since that sunday I've been playing again And writing on the walls Not a single love song in six years Now it comes pouring out my nose Makes you wonder, and honestly I felt it from the start I'm telling everyone I'm over it But did you even break my heart We should have done it that one night You were screaming at my face I would have cried and hurt and died inside But it would have cleaned the slate Now people tell me "Man, you're so grown up, it should always end this way" But isn't it more powerful in the violence In the fire and the rain My love I swear I will not compromise I'll learn from my mistakes And if that means I'm alone for the ride Then I'll accept my fate Maybe I won't, maybe I'll change Maybe I'll do it all again And I'll call you up one day or night Cause you're the only one who gets my pain
