Leaving - Fight Or Flight

Time lost, miles away

In a world of bullets

In a bed, an empty space

A picture frame, a portrait

The night falls, I'm awake

I'm left to rust in silence

Withdraw my mistakes

I'm left to trust in violence

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow?

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving?

I'm weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let this go

When I'm leaving?

Headstones borrow names

Inscribed by anxious patients

A fate calls, a blurry fate

Lies in the hands we're chased with

I'm bearing all

Bombs away

Curing fear with makeshift plans

Conquer the fall, we'll do it

Comfort the fall with bullshit

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow?

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving?

I'm weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let this go

When I'm leaving?

Can you teach me how to fly

In a world so shallow

Will you show me I'm alive

Or find a way to get home

I'm alive

But paralyzed

By the sight of bloodshed fights

Shoot 'em right between the eyes

Can I let it go

When I'm leaving?

I'm weak inside

But built to fight

Living life through compromise

Terrified to prove me right

Can I let this go

When I'm leaving?
