lyrics

So smile on my dear,an empty round of applause if you feel you need it
indecision complicates me
Another fabrication just to justify the flaws,if you'd believe it
you it frustrates it me
how i'm into intricacy yet i missed the devil in the details
the one i've been lieing to
cripples me by design,as i fail you,in turn you fail me
and what i've been trying to do

so i blow smoke over the sun
and keep repeating the words
"i dont belong to anyone"

in time you'll realise the blood you've shed
see how your hands become so scratched and broken when you're busy holding on to all the broken pieces of your heart.

so another night where alibis fall through
let down by myself i have been no help
through poor preparation
but with several fake personas that i've built on day to day
even when by myself i can can have good conversation
thats alright,even though you're in the right
the words you say to keep me tight just come across as apologetic
and cliched in several ways another empty phrase for you to coin
these tired words sound so pathetic now

after the searching you have found
(so dont be mad at me)
they say love makes the world go round
but thats just gravity...

i like to think that it sounds deep which shows how shallow i've become
(highlights the difference between)
what i say and do and how i've failed you right from the start
(and in the end you'll see)
all of the blood you've shed
you'll see just how you're hand become
so scratched and broken when
your busy holding onto all the broken pieces of your heart

but you'll be safe and you'll come to no harm
as long as you place yourself in the care of an embrace offered by empty arms
