The Well

Bored with finding the best way to keep my head straight
That's not what I meant to say
You know I've been dead weight
Strung out where you left me
Wrapped in cellophane

You say you love me by letting me go
I don't believe in that anymore, oh
If I could only see through the smoke
It's hard to breathe
Is that what you wanted?

When hope leaves the dream is dead
I feel it slipping away again
I can't live inside my head
And this is how I drain the well
Trying to fix myself
I'm not so broken
But honesty is fucking killing me

Somehow I let the light burn out you placed in my chest
Got ahold of myself, but you'd already left
I know I should've been here before, but
You gotta tell me when you want something
A break in the silence was all that we needed
I swear you believed it
Bold-faced liar, you're not who I know
So keep all your secrets and go

When hope leaves the dream is dead
I feel it slipping away again
I can't live inside my head, no
And this is how I drain the well
Trying to fix myself
I'm not so broken
But honesty is fucking killing me

Is this really the best way to keep my head straight?
You know I've been dead weight
Where you left me
