Putting the picture to the frame

This whole ordeal has brought me shame

And by the look on your face

I could tell you feel the same

(Don't you know this was not what I had planned?)

The only thing I ask for      

Is to know what would happen before

This whole disaster occured

Before it destroyed my inner core

(Don't you know I hate feeling so alone, so damned?)

My dreams hardly work at all

I don't like the look of these thick walls

 

I can't escape from my troubles

Guess when it's gone, it comes back double

Try as I might, running won't help

Because I can't run from myself

I'm not one to beg for mercy

Just like I don't believe in controversy

Just believe me when I say

Don't you know I've always dreaded this day?

 

Put down your arms, I'm not here for good

You know I would if I could

Life's just not what they look like

In snotty little hollywood

(Don't you know I never could stand nobody being by my side?)

These memories can't make things like they were

I'm always swell at ruining the future

When the past is my disease

I've destroyed the cure

(Don't you know your words before now act like cyanide?)

No words exchanged, only stares

Better that than hurtful glares

 

I can't escape from my troubles

Guess when it's gone, it comes back double

Try as I might, running won't help

Because I can't run from myself

I'm not one to beg for mercy

Just like I don't believe in controversy

Just believe me when I say

Don't you know I've always dreaded this day?

 

Befallen here is my last chance

To prove I did give a second glance

But, the things that happened in my dreams

DOESN'T leave me in a trance

 

(Don't you know I've left you out of my mind?)

I can't get out of this box

(Don't you know I am the last of my kind?)

Although it looks somewhat familiar

(Don't you know my life's like an empty ocean?)

I can try to wear a smile

(Don't you know my life was fine until you barged in?)

But, that'd be too peculiar

 

I can't escape from my troubles

Guess when it's gone, it comes back double

Try as I might, running won't help

Because I can't run from myself

I'm not one to beg for mercy

Just like I don't believe in controversy

Just believe me when I say

Don't you know I've always dreaded this day?
