To a Friend

I think that its time to get out
My pictures are fading fast
My bruises just a little bit easier
Dark times these shadows cast

What are you suffering for
You’re proud of some kind of personal war
And will you throw it away
For nothing more than the simple taste

[Chorus]
I’ll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranois will
be deep beneath my skin)
I’ll draw this line and hope you’ll take my side
(breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn’t have to fight alone (you shouldn’t have
to fight alone)
It’s nobody’s battle but your own

There goes me, wake again
From the safe as we get cold
I think its time to kill the drama
This life style’s getting old
This bursts behind cold sores
I smile from dark windows
Bloody lies that seem to haunt me
Or maybe I don’t really know

There is something
Waiting for me in the darkest
Part of my imagination

[Chorus]
I’ll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia will
be deep beneath my skin)
I’ll draw this line and hope you’ll take my side
(breathe slow, breathe slow)
You shouldn’t have to fight alone (you shouldn’t have
to fight alone)
It’s nobody’s battle but your own

This is all self-induced error
Wake up this is just a glimpse
Until I self explode in my head
But, oh baby, I do confess

Oh, there’s no relief
Oh, this won’t get off of
Oh, there’s no relief
Oh, this won’t get off of me

I’ll stay in time and watch you pass by
I’ll draw this line and hope you’ll take my side
You shouldn’t have to fight alone
It’s nobody’s battle but your own
