The light refused us with designed intent      Into darkness we retreated to seek defense   With patience and logic new hope extends   To be different, to be lucky, and to die happy      So I go down, down the stair-air-case and out, out the front door   There is no time left to waste, a lifetime spent being choked      When I'm at school it's like I'm dead   Then the weekend comes and I resurrect   These old fears, these old dreams   They follow, they're chasing me      To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue   And try to speak those ancient words again   It's patience and logic that killed true love   Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone      Go find yourself a dry place where the storm can't touch you any more   Lay down and let time-ime waste, a lifetime is being choked      Cause there's no place left to feel at home   The years have past and I'm alone   With these same fears, these dead dreams   They strangle, they're killing me   Me      To get far
