"Before I Go To Bed" *new lyrics*

Mar 15, 2009 23:34

Now there's a hole in my chest
that everyone can see right through
there's some part of me that has died
and I don't know which hell it went to.
See I've been locking my self away
so the world doesn't have to see
the boy who is made out of glass
and everyone can see I'm empty.

but I never give any time
to fix the things I've left undone.
I'm not so tired
I'm just lazy of all I've become.

Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.

Now there's a problem with myself
and everyone thinks they've got me figured out,
but I'm made up of stories
that are mostly true until someone finds out.
I've just built up this wall
from the ground up and I'm not taking it down
until I find a good reason to wear my heart on my sleeve
but you can't expect that from me (anymore!)

but I never give the time
to speak words that you can't describe.
I'm just so stuck up
with my world.

Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.

so I'll smoke myself to sleep
and burn the bed out from under the sheets
until the house is in flames
and no one can escape
but I drift off peacefully.
And when I go I'll see the light
of ships that are lost at sea
I'll see them start to sink
and I'll drown with the crew
peacefully.

Just one more cigarette
before I go to bed.
I'll be out on the porch
come find me when you need me.
Just one more shot to sip
before I hit the hay
I'll be at the bar until two A.M.
you can call, but I won't reply.
