Shakeout

I TOOK MY OWN BREATH AWAY FROM MYSELF AND COULDN’T BREATHE

I TRIED TO LOOK AROUND FOR YOU BUT MY EYES COULDN’T SEE

THROUGH THE SMOKE I CHOSE TO CHOKE DOWN UNTIL I CEASED TO BE

A PART OF WHAT I USED TO THINK WHAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF ME

AND I WON’T BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS THROUGH

AND I WON’T LET YOU DOWN FROM THE SOUND YOUR RUNNING TO

AND I WON’T BE AFRAID WHEN I FINALLY GET TO BE

ANOTHER PIECE OF THE GROUND UNDERNEATH OUR FAVORITE TREE

SO COME WITH ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD WE’RE SLEEPING IN

OH WE CAN BE JUST LIKE WE WERE WHEN WE WEREN’T FEEDING IN

TO ALL THE LIES THAT WE TOLD TO KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE THEN

NOW WE CAN DIE FROM THE COLD THAT WE KEPT FROM CREEPING IN

AND THAT’S THE END

OF THE SUFFERING WE BEGGED THEM TO LET US WIN

NOW THERE’S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT I WISH I HADN’T BEEN

BUT I’LL FIND YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE AND I’LL MAKE IT UP TO THEM

BUT FOR NOW YOU SHOULD BE PROUD YOU DIDN’T LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
