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
