they're all surrounding
we're both hoping
failing slowly
attempting one thing to stand up
with dignity
to walk away

do the time to prove it all

the new lines
wrapped my eyes around
the scars upon my head
were only meant
to spell apologies
there's a [tent full of?]
was impossible to find
but until you find me
???
standing stupid looking blind

(??? i could do anything
right ??
to say that you were wrong

this night is guaranteed to all turn black
with memories that haunt the past)

i'm only here to fall apart
you've been angry from the start
but i know these trainwrecks happen all the time

everything no one knows
you should be hated here by now
this was the prettiest lie that i told tonight
it's been the prettiest lie that i told all year
the unmade bed inside the room
where i don't feel comfortable at all
where blankets stare at me for hours
and i stare right back so self righteously

(it could be now
and i don't feel proud
i'm so sorry now
i'm sorry now)

and it all comes down to composure that's been lost
when it all comes down to composure that's been lost

    General Comment:I hear:

    Do your time to prove it all,
    In the ruined lines round my eyes,
    You'll know the scars upon my head
    were only meant to spell apologies
    There's a ten point deer that someone said
    was impossible to find
    But until you find it on the freeway
    Standing stupid looking blind

    (Never though I could do anything right, didn't mean to say that you were wrong)
    (This night is guaranteed to all turn black
    with memories that haunt the past)
