Time lost miles away
In a world of bullets
In a bed an empty space
A picture frame a portrait
The night falls I'm awake
I'm left to rust in silence
Withdraw my mistakes
I'm left to trust in violence
Well, can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow
Or will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home
Well, I'm alive but paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot them right between the eyes
Can I let it go when I'm leaving
Weak inside but built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let it go when I'm leaving
Headstones borrow names
Inscribed by anxious patients
Fate calls our blurry fate
Lies in the hands we're chased with
And bearing all bombs away
Curing fear with makeshift plans
Conquer the fall we'll do it
Comfort the fall with bullshit
Well, can you teach me how to fly
In a world so shallow
Or will you show me I'm alive
Or find a way to get home
Well, I'm alive but paralyzed
By the sight of bloodshed fights
Shoot them right between the eyes
Can I let it go when I'm leaving
Weak inside but built to fight
Living life through compromise
Terrified to prove me right
Can I let it go when I'm leaving
