To A Friend lyrics

I'm thinking that its time to get out
My patients are fading fast
The mind bruises just a little bit easier
In dark times and shadows cast

What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it all away?
For nothing more than a simple taste?
I stay in time and watch you pass by
Paranoia woven deep beneath my skin
And I draw this line
Breath slow
You shouldn't have to fight alone
You shouldn't have to fight at all
It's nobody's battle but your own

Panic holds me like a gun
Firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it's time to kill the drama
This lifestyle is getting old

Faces threaten from behind closed doors
Eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds that seek to harm me, or maybe not

There is
Something
Waiting
For me
In the
Darkest
Part of
My imagination

This is just self-induced terror
There's more to come
This is just a glimpse
I tell myself its all in my head
But I'm pretty hard to convince

Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this wold can offer
Oh, there's no relief
Oh, this world can offer me

I stay in time and watch you pass by
I draw this line
And hope you'll take my side
You shouldn't have to fight alone
Its nobody's battle but your own
