you're ever so inviting

the time has come for you to sit this out

to fit inside your mold

would be to sell myself short

this ground we tread upon

is now filling up to our necks

we turn the pages left to right

we see everything

oh

my story's growing

it is on my last request

don't make me feel so contradicting

there's no room for cheating and being yourself

failure leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth

and on the last hour

we write so many new chapters again

and on the outside

where there are no surprises

oh

it's getting longer

to see it through their eyes

would bring me so much closer

you can do this night after night

failure leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth

taste and see

i swear i know what's good

be still and know that they won't lie to you every single time you're facing lies

i know why you never take your eyes off me

i've used my lungs for everything but breathing

i find myself dried up in this conversation

so pull me out

pull me aside
