I've been staying up late fighting figures with crosshairs
And sometimes you'd come to mind
I've been praying you'd wait finding reasons in nowhere
And sometimes they're hard to find
I've been forgetting dates, dusting bookshelves with cobwebs
And that's when you tried to stay
I've been calling you fake hollow crosses you won't bare
And that's when you walked away
And you said that drowning was the quickest way
To the bottom of the lake, and you were right
Those city lights just don't compare
To the shallow water's shimmer in the middle of the night
When the stars look like reasons to fly
You always said there's something stupid about me
and I'd never know why
I've been straining my eyes, internet, escape life
And sometimes I'd fall asleep
I've been maintaining face, silent struggle and quiet nights
And sometimes it's hard to keep
I've been telling you lies, concentrating on past lives
And sometimes I'd lose a day
I've been calling you fake hollow crosses you won't bare
And that's when you walked away
I had a dream this would sink
A few chains short of a link
So tell me now what do you think?
You said that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses that you couldn't bare
