what


what am i gonna do you got me six feet under standing on my bleeding toes the nails beneath me show no mercy what am i supposed to do i can scream all i want you won't hear me you can't see me can i just pretend to faint in your arms never re-awake 'cause i'm standing here leaning towards the wind i'm calling out but the waterfall of tears is muffling we used to always be the best of friends but now you won't even look my way what make s the world round this pain and heartache drives the world off the edge i can dream all i want it won't ever change a damn thing can i just leap off a ledge of the empire state 'cause i'm lying here i'm screaming for your help and i'm suffocating all this change and strange is killing me will it ever end i hope one day i just collapse i'm screaming for your love the nails beneath me cause me to bleed the blood and booze don't help the grits just cause my voice to roughen 'cause i'm waiting for you to come find me and i can't pretend to fall away like nothing happened what am i supposed to do you got me six feet under standing on my bleeding toes the nails beneath me show no mercy what am i gonna do i can scream all i want you won't hear me you can't see me can i just pretend to faint in your arms never re-awake
