I found you at the checkpoint
I tried to be polite
My weakness is your virtue
and a history of violence
I know that I can reach you
It doesn't go both ways
It's something I'm not used to
and world to calculate
I look to you for guidance
and a voice that understands
an undeserved forgiveness
and a patience that I can never have
cos I know that its out of my control
I gotta let you go/know
Your melancholy nature
is something I adore
a joyful rage and silence
leave your love beyond the door
I know that I can reach you
but it doesn't go both ways
and its not what I wanted,
not what you wanted
not what I wanted now
I look to you for guidance
and a voice that understands
an undeserved forgiveness
and a patience that I can never have
cos I know that its out of my control
I gotta let you go/know

I can't be real I can't pretend
I know I said I'd be around
But life got strange and I couldn't make it.
I feel you close not close enough
our life is set to self destruct
but thats okay cos its just a feeling
and I can see it in your eyes
and in the way that you walk
I know I fail to realize
that this way will never work
You've only one life to live on this rock
don't abandon yourself
or the things that you love
I used to think I could make it alone
like an island at see
or a dog on the run
He said 'Im trying to change
I know this way is a path to self destruction,
but its really hard when I got this
pain deep inside me and no one to feel it with'
Well thats not way to behave
if you want them to stay beside you
I know, I've been there too
it isn't hard to explain
but its one of the hardest things to do
and I can see it in your eyes
and in the way that you walk
I know I fail to realize
that this way will never work
You've only one life to live on this rock
don't abandon yourself
or the things that you love
I used to think I could make it alone
Like an island at sea
or a dog on the run

I need a new escape from reality
I do not want to be myself
Inside a prison cell thats made of dopamine
is this shit learned or in my cells?
You were right the first time
I'm a dear in a headlight
You can see that they don't care
I wish I knew why I was like this
it's not very comfortable being this wrong
I can't be alone for one moment
I need your reality holding me up
I needed one my chance to live up to you
but my old failings held me back
cos you never waited up for me to understand
i can't be mad at you look what they done to you
I wish I new why I was like this
its not very comfortable being this wrong
I can't be alone for one moment
I need your reality holding me up

Thinking of the day you looked inside me
a train wreck desire cannot be named
I can't look away, not one would notice
if we departed from this terrible place
everyday it makes its way to me
every hour it takes a hold of me
on the line I had no choice but to draw
So I fell
into the arms of despair
smashed into my empty head
knowing what I can't change
and I died
inside the arms of night
ended up fighting for life
maybe where I should have stayed
Cos if you never find a lover then you'll never be afraid again
I never wanted to be perfect but I know there something I can change
everyday it makes its way to
every hour it takes a hold of me
on the line I had no choice but to draw
try to find a perfect enemy
in your house and on your new TV
borrowed time I had no choice but to crawl
So I fell
into the arms of despair
smashed into my empty head
knowing what I can't change
and I died
inside the arms of night
ended up fighting for life
maybe where I should have stayed
I wanna drive right across the night
I know I'm not your friend
but i think we'll be alright
like a poorly crafted accident
makes you wanna stop your dream again
but I'll hold my end up
