Something In Return
Safe and sound will never last
I'm always losing smiles
In return for tears and dark rooms
Where silence is left to keep me company
How many times do you have to die
In order to live
If all my pain always comes free
What will it cost
To keep the somtimes little joy I have at bay
There's nothing left for me to lose
I've already given up my dignity
Maybe one day I'd like to get some change
From all the things lost
When your eyes want to pour
But your mind's too tired to let you
And your body's too limp
To carry you to the edge
How naive to think or believe
I might actually win one
Forfeit everything I will
If only I could freeze time to where we stood yesterday
Wishing is easier said than done
Why waste meaningful pleas
On peace to be taken from you
Just throw it away...onto the empty streets
Where anyone w/o a plan can carry it away...and actually suceed
Safe and sound will never last
I'm always losing smiles
In return for tears and dark rooms
Where silence is left to keep me company
How many times do you have to die
In order to live
If all my pain always comes free
What will it cost
To keep the somtimes little joy I have at bay
There's nothing left for me to lose
I've already given up my dignity
Maybe one day I'd like to get some change
From all the things lost
When your eyes want to pour
But your mind's too tired to let you
And your body's too limp
To carry you to the edge
How naive to think or believe
I might actually win one
Forfeit everything I will
If only I could freeze time to where we stood yesterday
Wishing is easier said than done
Why waste meaningful pleas
On peace to be taken from you
Just throw it away...onto the empty streets
