The places I remember are
getting worn and withered
My heart is the picket fences
and needs a little mending
am I not everything you
thought I should be?
The faces in the picture are
burnt just like the real ones
Our skin is the exposure
it's gotten so much older
But am I not everything
you thought I could be?
Pre-Chorus
This life long competition
still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything
I tried to do my life
plays in front of you
And now I've realized
there's nothing left
for me to hide I've
opened myself enough
for the world
to see my guts
Where are you now? and
where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone
Must come to an end
The children in the school
yard have grown so cold and
tired The shift is almost over
I'm praying I don't get fired
Life isn't everything
I thought it should be
The bills left on the table
will be payed if I was able to
Work a few more hours
my life has grown so sour
Because I'm not everything
I thought I could be
Pre-Chorus
This life long competition
still reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything
I tried to do my life
plays in front of you
And now I've realized
there's nothing left
for me to hide I've
opened myself enough
for the world
to see my guts
Where are you now? and
where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone
Must come to an end
The places I remember are
getting worn and withered
My heart is the picket fences
and needs a little mending
am I not everything you
thought I should be?
