Stay with me I can't feel these words like I did when we were young Trading in ink for false peace of mind Well, I've been choking on words for far too long now Back and forth, we're always falling in between The cracks in the floor board won't offer you a thing And I'm naive, but I know happiness is fleeting And yet we pursue it on in hopes that we won't need it It comes in waves of age A sea of disconnect Now crashes on the shores of innocence And in a sense, we're trying to keep ourselves afloat Back and forth, we're always falling in between The cracks in the floor board won't offer you a thing And I'm naive, but I know happiness is fleeting And yet we pursue it on in hopes that we won't need it Well it comes in waves of age And we're all sinking under This happiness facade On entering life Whatever may come Nothing is guaranteed When you paint such a perfect picture And you see it realized in flesh When there's nothing to aspire to left We tend to disconnect So won't you put this back together just one more time Stay with me I can't feel these words like I did when we were young Trading in ink for false peace of mind Well, I've been choking on words for far too long now
