lyrics

A bygone age his death
is why we're talking
Why I waste my breath
Just to keep you toking
I still recognise
that the day brings back the
things that close your mind

A mockery inside of me
is what we'll need to make ends meet

Truth be told I'm done
You're out of luck so
I will not digress
We won't hide this banner
Take a closer look
It's not half as empty
as you first mistook

So we breathe ourselves to sleep to achieve sobriety

I don't want to go down that road again
You don't want to see me gasping just to get a little air
I don't want to take you diving off the mountain side
I won't let you out my sight in case you accidently died
I don't want to pick your body off the ground again
You don't want to pick and choose you want the world to be your friend
I'm getting older and I'm getting pretty tired of regretting
We don't want to go down this road again.

Don't make promises
that you cannot keep and
Don't get out your bed
til you've been asleep so
you don't lose your head
cos your body's weak
and blood is all you'll bleed

This mockery inside of me is what we'll need to make ends meet

I don't want to go down that road again
You don't want to see me gasping just to get a little air
I don't want to take you diving off the mountain side
I won't let you out my sight in case you accidently died
I don't want to pick your body off the ground again
You don't want to pick and choose you want the world to be your friend
I'm getting older and I'm getting pretty tired of regretting
We don't want to go down this road again.

I don't want to pick your body off the ground again
You don't want to pick my body off the ground again
We don't want to pick your body off the ground again
We don't really want to make our way back down this road again.
