///TDC - Squirt Guns with Real Bullets

I've been searching for the right words, the right words to say
You spoke with such an elegance like the grace of ballet
Now its just noise,
My stomach twists and twirls
Man, I just gotta sit.

Cause everything inside of me says I should leave.
I'll take a chance with hide and seek, no finding me
Cause I'll brave being lonely
When I cave, I won't come to you.

I'll sway like palm trees in Miami
Just this phones gotta stop,
a cold drink on the rocks will do.

I'm grinding my teeth to your words what a haunting sound.
If you were the same as you were we'd be making ground
And I hope that everything will be alright.
Yeah, but this anchor keeps on holding me down.

How did we end up here? Such a monumental disaster.
I could see crystal clear that there was nothing at all.
And with how many times I'd fall,
Honestly I couldn't be more of a sucker
But it means nothing at all
For you to see me this way.

Now I'll burn the bridge we walked upon
So you can swim your way to get across
I'm drowning every single enemy along the way.

And I'll topple to the floor,
Cause you were the last one in line I expected to start a war.

Yeah, you really let yourself go.

And I'm pissed I even made this trip, so I'll stand
Just to breathe so I can say
I'm not leaving, 'til I get what I came for

So how did we end up here? Such a monumental disaster.
I could see crystal clear that there was nothing at all.
And with how many times I'd fall,
Honestly I couldn't be more of a sucker
But it means nothing at all
For you to see me this way.

I feel the colors inside of me, they're turning from red to black
I feel the monster inside of me and I'm not coming back.

Neither a king or queen should ever sit upon their throne, feast upon their own.
But you can lay me down…
Lay me down and tear me bone from muscle
Lay me down, no I wont even struggle.
