I live in a cardboard box
Black dreams on a color tv
Crouching down under infinitely high ceilings
Whispers in a room built for screaming
(pre)
Down here isn’t everything I asked for
But this story isn’t over

(chorus)

I did it to myself
I didn’t need your help
How will I believe, while I’m breaking everything
Will I explode, Set here in stone
Or will I find a new place to grow

Hell bent on a touch that saves
Years spent only thinking of me
Holding out for a drug wearing tight jeans
My choice was for comfort and easy

Pre
Chorus

(Bridge A)
Place the bomb near the foundation, turn it on
Prove me wrong, kill this frustration, here too long

(Bridge B)
I know what it means to fall apart
With a big smile up on my face
Reset the clock here, find what was lost here
Shake me up and knock some sense into me

Chorus

WORDS AND MUSIC BY ADAM WATTS
DYING EGO MUSIC (ASCAP), SEVEN PEAKS MUSIC (ASCAP)

All I ever wanted was a chance
To bring some heaven here
But wanting is a dance
Of hoping and of fear

So why do I run, why
Why do I avoid truth
So why do I run, why
Away from You

(Chorus)

Nobody loves alone
Impossible to care
Nobody hates their home
When simplicity is there
So blindly, I’ll follow invisible light
Yeah I’ll follow invisible light

Give me good and I’ll give it away
I never seem to hear
The sound that doesn’t say
That I’m the one to steer

My life is a gun
I reload it every day
I point it at the sun
And try to blow the light away

Chorus

(Bridge)
Waiting for the setting of the sun
Is a crime when the gift is of love
So I’m moving toward the fire
As I trust that the night won’t last too long
That You’re right
And I’m beautifully wrong

Chorus

WORDS AND MUSIC BY ADAM WATTS
DYING EGO MUSIC (ASCAP), SEVEN PEAKS MUSIC (ASCAP)

There’s something dark and ugly growing inside
I won’t pretend that I am in the right
It’s getting worse every bitter day
Part of the fall as I stand ashamed

So until I figure how to change

Stand back I’m a poison soul
A foot in heaven, a foot in hell
Stand back I’m a poison soul
I drink from the poison well
But I’m sick of feeling sorry for myself
Stand back I’m a poison soul

A raging animal lives in my chest
Pounding the time, holding me hostage
Just want everyone to understand
I’m trying hard, doing what I can
The underacheiving everyman

Chorus

(bridge)
This isn’t how the story ends
It’s dark in the middle, but the light comes in
The choice is mine to carry on or wave the flag

Lord, I know that you see it all
So you can see I have a fatal flaw… you know
I want perfection in a box tied with a bow

Chorus
