Select language to translate this lyric
We've spent some time apart across state lines as we both tried to find ourselves
but you found something else
The tip of the cigarette that you grip so tight;
the regret and your fucked up state of mind
You smothered the fire that burns inside
Lost all the fight I once saw in your eyes
Seven years and you're still wasting light;
you cave to the urge that drains your life
I'm starting to see you just can't cope
While I hear 'son,
pick up the pen and say what's on your mind
Let the ink fill up the page 'till you've covered every line'
You've always filled me with such hope
Grit my teeth;
puncture my lungs,
until these words roll off my tongue
And I'm never happy 'till I'm done,
while you got washed aside with the wrong ones
You can't expect things you haven't earned
but I guess you'll never learn
Why don't you tell me something that I've never heard?
Grit my teeth;
puncture my lungs,
until these words roll off my tongue
And I'm never happy 'till I'm done,
while you got washed aside with the wrong ones
