Distance Paroles

Stayed up all night listening to hair metal
And things that
I found in my old room in my hometown
Wish I was
Not coming back here just to put away
Buried remains of
Why does it have to come to this to pull
And drag me out from
My rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality
That I've spent so many years in with these hands tied down
But not too tight to call home
I always thought I would leave
I never thought that I'd see
This fall so out out of line
And now that we have lost
Another too close to us
Does this distance seem worth it
At all today
Cause I don't wear these scars as well as she would say
So all that's left for me is all that I had ever earned
But I'm hoping there's time to change it all
I think that I can make it anyway

Now I'm stuck breathing only dark stale air
And things that
I left in this new place in this downtown
Wish I was
Not coming back here just to put away
Buried remains of
Why does it have to come to this to pull
And drag me out from
My rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality
That I've spent so many years in with these hands tied down
But not too tight to call home
I always thought I would leave
I never thought that I'd see
This fall so out of line
And now that we have lost
Another too close to us
Does this distance seem worth it
At all today
Cause I don't wear these scars as well as she would say
So all that's us for me is all that I had ever earned
But I'm hoping there's time to change
Cause I think that I can make it anyway

Before it is too late
To figure out what I have known all along
If i spend my life running away i'll never break from my
Rusted, barred-in, so important yet meaningless reality
That I've spent so many years in with these hands tied down
But not too tight to call home
I always thought I would leave
I never thought that I'd see
This fall so out out of line
And now that we have lost
Another too close to us
Does this distance seem worth it
At all today
Cause I don't wear these scars as well as she would say
And that’s all that’s left for me is all that I had
Ever earned, so please don't
Waste this turn, with me
I deserve every inch of this
