Lyrics

-------------------------
Verse 1 - x1
-------------------------
lead me around
and nurse my broken wing
with all the promises
you can never honor
I just dont care enough
to react to vain attempts
sent only to perpetuate
one's selfish little world.
-------------------------
Prechorus 1 - x2
-------------------------
you wont see what ive become
youll wait and watch and still youre only let down.
-------------------------
Chorus - x2
-------------------------
a violent reaction
struggling only to keep myself alive.
-------------------------
Verse 2 - x1
-------------------------
now here I stand
for nothing no one at all
I lead you down
begging to touch you in the cold
you give me a reason
I will not be the one
through all the nonsense
there is a constant.
