Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This ordinary room is turnin'
Into somethin' of a prison hole
And the only thing we know for certain is that
Don't nobody know
[Verse 2]
You think none of this is real, that's
Why you never try
So tear it down or build it up, it's the same
[Verse 3]
And on another lonely evenin'
When you're stayin' up countin' omens
In the morning, is it so disturbing that you
Just won't let it go?
[Verse 4]
You think hurting gives you license
To do anythin' at all
But you gotta take your medicine
Allow your hands to lose their grip, and let it fall
[Verse 5]
It's a wonder anyone can breathe here
With the smoke too thick to cough
So we're fallin' as we run from cover from the
Bombs we're settin' off
[Verse 6]
You think hurting gives you license
To do anythin' at all
But you gotta take your medicine
Allow your hands to lose their grip, and let it fall
Allow your hands to lose their grip, and let it fall
[Verse 7]
So we watch another good day fadin'
How we gonna leave the hang man hangin'?
Girl, one day, you know it all melts into air
