(n1nth)cloud - Lord Knows lyrics

(Verse) Lord knows I've been willing more than once To walk a mile in someone's shoes to feel their pain or get their point Worth saying all I can to get you out into the open for a reason I can't see Or a feeling I can't remember What's asking if the backing always fails Making sure they get ahead But always running when the time comes Smearing words in this letter to myself Staking claims on all the days I'm speaking up, I need more than this gun to get out Just cause Falling short of making moves Every time I'm coming close Pa**ing night's by writing tell all Story's about how far I got and how I never gave in Tempted fate cause all I knew was a job What happens when your left out in the open Saying more than what they want Giving all that they can handle If they knew how it felt If they saw how it feels I can't taste it on the end of my days Lord knows I've been waiting all these years to let it shine through Doing everything I can to get all of these hours back Lost them all in a comfort skating through not looking twice Now I'm left out in the cold Now I'm left out in this mess Now I'm living on the edge of what it use to be or how it must have looked to see the sun without the people running round What if they could show them all How to make it on their own Maybe sleeping at the wheel would be a thing of your past (Chorus) Here I am hear I am smearing words Taking time Making rights Doing years Not knowing where I'm headed They're they are Stealing life's Breaking minds Taking wrongs Here I am hear I am smearing words Taking time Making rights Doing years Not knowing where I'm headed They're they are Stealing life's Breaking minds Taking wrongs (Verse) As the tear drops fall the water collects like dust After all of this I'll stand on my two feet just as tall Calling the heaven gates there's a hole in wall, but I still can't escape I've learned to call it my fate and picked up what they didn't take Moving away but my bad luck seems to follow right along Singing the same old version of a perfect repetitive song Call it a phase, call it a style, time of your life, then look in my eyes Finally back to reality thats why I'm still alive The city train arrived the D line, hope for some sunshine, after all these places your still dead in my mind The vegas nights alive and also captured in time You'll loose this message in lines like baby I'm still a lie Forgotten the past, thats why it never gets better Cold nights while counting bills with my finger on the trigger Bringing it back to the days where I connect and remember Hoping to close all the doors before the end of the winter
