Can't expect it all to all fall into place sleeping at the wheel
Looking at the loss instead of what you gain only makes it worse
But there's a lot to take and though it's in the past, I can't let it fade
While I still have the thought I'm sure that I know it's gonna crack again
But I just can't recall the questions in between knocking out my tongue and landing on my feet
It's not all my fault it won't come easily, I'm pouring out my heart have you anything for me?
It's not hard to talk, makes it feel more real slowing down the time
Like a silhouette crawling up the light, blocking out my mind
But how's it going to play with one eye on the wing when you can't see the end?
While I'm getting clear I'm sure that I know it's gonna crack again
But I just can't recall the questions in between knocking out my tongue and landing on my feet
It's not all my fault it won't come easily, trying to stand my ground as I'm backed onto the street
Where lights are blowing out and you don't need to leave
Lining to my sight but keeping it discreet
I'm just warming up but you can't even speak
I'm pouring out my heart, have you anything for me?
