Adams Wilson

I had a vision
A waking dream in my mind

The great decision
The biggest choice of my life
I can’t walk toward the light

All I ever do is hesitate
Tell the torturer to add more wait
sitting in the waiting room of hell

Just stand in place
Just float in space
something’s wrong

Cus something great
Will be worth the wait
But how long

Ohhh every facet has its shine
Ohhh the truest color comes with time

mental pollution
is factored in the design
nothing's ever right

I'm only happy when I hesitate
I'm so sad I just depress the brakes
Can't help but stop myself

Just stand in place
Just float in space
Something’s wrong

Cus something great
Will be worth the wait
But how long

How long
How long

Ohhh the clearest view is from the fence
Ohhh i'll get the answer in past tense

Trying my best to get to sleep
You can’t stay awake
You call me your greatest gift
You're my great mistake

And it’s hard to know what to think
God all I want is a drink

So don't you bother calling me
I’m hung up on apathy 
My heart is gone
I guess it's time to move on

You're tryin' to play my sympathies
There ain't nothin' left to take
Give you anything you wish
If I knew I wouldn't break

And it's hard to know what to think
When all my ship does is sink

Don't you bother calling me
Save your breath on saving me
My heart is gone
I guess it's time to move on

Yeah
That's the way you break
That's the way you break
That's the way you break
That's the way you break

It's time I told you all the truth
It's time I pushed you off the roof

To see if you can fly
Or if you'd even try
But I don't think you should look down

We'll do this hard way
We'll make the wrong mistakes
Ask why when it's all over
But is that the right play
Is that the way we break
Or can we start this over
Can we start it over now

This hasn’t gone the way I’d planned
And I can’t even understand

How things got this far
I can’t tell where you even are
But I know we’ll keep heading down

We'll do this hard way
We'll make the wrong mistakes
Ask why when it's all over
But is that the right play
Is that the way we break
Or can we start this over

Blame it on me
I refuse to listen
No one wants to hear me agree

Blame it on me
I refuse to listen
You don't want to hear me agree

We'll do this hard way
We'll make the wrong mistakes
Ask why when it's all over
But is that the right play
Is that the way we break
Or can we start this over
Can we start it over now

I just can't stop missing you
I don't know why
When I think about you
with another guy
I freak
I freak myself out

You did nothing wrong
so who else can I blame
So I try to drill you
make you say his name
as if
as if that'll calm me down

So here you come back around
What am I gonna do now

So I lie
So I lie
Say I'm fine
Ain't no crime

(Who cares?)

Everybody's got a thing
they wanna hide
But somehow I built up
a lifetime supply
and now
Now i'm trapped in a corner

And I can't find my way out
so what am I gonna do now

I'll just lie
I'll just lie
Say I'm fine

I'm conflict averse
I like being nice
If you never have to know that I am dead inside
then I don't have to be the sad and lonely guy
isn't that the safest way to fly

So I lie (I lie all the time)
So I lie (I lie all)
I'm just fine (all the time)

I just wanna be a good kid
pay my taxes
go to bed on time

I put my time in
carried water
toed the company line

Broken by design
I've been robbed of my own prime
Here's your dollar where's my dime
There's no ladder left to climb
There's nowhere left to run

Where would you go
and who do you know

We're trying to act like
this is normal
just to catch the boss's shine

Broken by design
We're devouring our own kind
Here's my dollar and my dime
Where's the life I left behind

There's nowhere left to run
Where would you go
Who do you know

How could I
begrudge you trying to get from 0 up to 9
when all I've ever done is try to get on by
Is there anything more to life
Is there anything more to life

C'mon and tell me
how you want this to go
and tell me
Does everyone know but me

'Cus I've been cut low

Now I'm just a
Rattler under a stone
This wound you can't leave alone
I feel you deep in my bones

When you broke me
did it fill up your soul
'cus now i'm empty
Don't know where to go
So now i'm crouching 'neath you like a

Rattler under a stone
This wound you can't leave alone
I feel you deep in my bones

Here I come baby
Everyone got to go
That's right
Here I come baby
so you'd better clear the floor
I'm back from the forest cutting wood
things just ain't worked out too good
and now it's time to shut it down

I feel you deep in my bones

Wear your rage
like your mom's high heels
borrowed armor
something not quite real
and you're rusting out the insides
with your tears

Cut until you bleed
and I'll be right there waiting
right there to hold the knife

Yeah cut until you bleed
and I'll be right there waiting
right there to hold the knife

Music fades
crowd disappears
get to know
all your lonely fears
and you tell yourself
just what you want to hear

But you ain't foolin' me
I'll be right there waiting
right there for your whole life

So fake it till you make it
bend it till you break it
I'm in love with the girl that you used to be
But now she ain't never coming home to me
so what do I do now?

Every millionaire is an actor these days
No one's ever quite what they seem
And every romance comes from Hollywood lately
Every costume's ripping its seams

So fake it till you make it
bend it till you break it
I'm in love with the girl that you used to be
But now she ain't never coming home to me
so what do I do now?
I'm in love with the girl that you used to be
But now she ain't never coming home to me
so what do I do now?

This shape in a mold
Misfitting and broken
And giving way to gravity
Oh just like you'd expect of me

Don't you let me breathe
Don't you let me see
Don't you let me fight with you
Until I've broken free
I've given all I can
I've given up my plans
I've sacrificed my life for you
And I don't understand

The scripture's in the fine print
Dollar store messiah stays dead
So I dabbled in misreading
Just to watch it blow up in my

Don't you let me breathe
Don't you let me see
Don't you let me fight with you
Until I've broken free
I've given all I can
I've given up my plans
I've sacrificed my life for you
And I don't understand
Why I don't rate on your scale

And the break you've given for free
All the broken parts of me
All the splinters of this tree
Are all that's left of me

Don't you let me breathe
Don't you let me see
Don't you let me fight with you
Until I've broken free
I've given all I can
I've given up my plans
I've sacrificed my life for you
And I don't understand
Why I don't rate on your scale

Waiting for the healer to cure her own disease
The diagnosis comes that the problem lies with me
Well that might be even truer than you think

Was this supposed to be the better way
Was this how you imagined I would take
The news of losing you
The news of losing you

Look I'm first to admit there are things I gotta fix
But I'm never gonna be a bit player in your script
Peering behind the curtain of your life

I'm just stuck on the page
Where you walk off the stage
And leave me in the dark wondering how the story ends

Is this the way you thought that we would break
Oh was this how you imagined I would take
The news of losing you
The news of losing you

You can cut your hair
You can change your name
It doesn't matter in the long run
It's all the same

You can say your prayers
You can call your saints
Every time you think it's different
Nothing's changed

As long as it's someone else
Who has to hold the bag

Now take what you will
Open close and swallow
All your easy pills
So you can take what you will

Is this what you call love
Joy absent of pain
And the slightest change of feeling
You dose your brain

As long as it's someone else
Who has to hold the bag

You can just assume for anyone
They'll be right there to give you what you want
You can just assume for everyone
But me

Now take what you will
Open close and swallow
All your easy pills
So you can take what you will

I wish I could say it hadn't worked out
Exactly how I said it would
And I wish I didn't have to say
Exactly what is coming next

But here it comes

You're nothing without me
You're nothing without me
You're nothing without me
Is what I tell myself to get to sleep

I wish your new thing wouldn't work out
But somehow I know it will
And I wish I didn't have to be here now
Hear what's coming next

But here it comes

You're nothing without me
You're nothing without me
You're nothing without me
Is what you told me and
I know it's true
I know it's true

If I want to leave it there
I could
No one said that life is fair
Why should it be
Yeah

You're nothing without me (you're nothing)
You're nothing without me (you're nothing)
You're nothing without me
Is what you told me and I know it's true
I know it's true (you're nothing)
