lyrics

Don't you say a word, i'm letting go.
Did you feel compelled to tell me?
That I was living safe and sound,
though underground.
I curse those years.
Now that I know just what your made of.
Don't tell us who we are.

For the record you couldn't live up to,
all that I expect, you know what I expect.
There's more talent stuck upon my shoe,
so i'll scrape some on your chest.
Then at least your friends will know you.

If I could build a time machine,
I swear to god i'd go right back to August 1999.
Where i'd see me in the car,
sick in love saying; mom she will be mine
and then i'll rip out both my eyes.

It may have taken three years, to burn that chapter of my life.
I have gotten use to looking around and losing both my eyes.
This is my written contract of taking everything back.
Every kiss, every smile, every touch, every mile.

If I could build a time machine,
I swear to god i'd go right back to August 1999.
Where i'd see me in the car,
sick in love saying; mom she will be mine
and then i'll rip out both my eyes.

Do we really get to choose now?
Is it really in the hands those you claim
If it's so than won't you show me
who we are to blame?
