lyrics

Aren't you tired of picking the roses
From the thorn bushes
How many times have you cut your hands on their vice like fangs

And it makes me sick
(Here we stand)
Do you have to treat yourself like this
(Hand in hand)
They have nothing but their broken words
(Here we stand)
That you've made to be your entire world
(Hand in hand)

I'm so stuck in this watered down version of reality
We're both so enveloped in
Look into my honest eyes, and tell me I'm wrong
I wanna hear it from your voice

It's so funny how the things we do
Are so often to be used
Who taught you these words
These empty little phrases, they don't mean what they should

And it makes me sick
(Here we stand)
Do you have to treat yourself like this
(Hand in hand)
They have nothing but their broken words
(Here we stand)
That you've made to be your entire world
(Hand in hand)

I'm so stuck in this watered down version of reality
We're both so enveloped in
Look into my honest eyes, an tell me I'm wrong
I wanna hear it from your voice

Your soul won't leave you but your body will
This out of body experience is something real
