Don’t take it to heart, these crushed pills and alcohol
Were just meant to simply calm the pain
Now all we were meant to be as children falls aside
We’re merely taught now to rise the occasion
Or hide from the reasons we all feel the same
The present falls away
The skeletons remain
Footsteps in our minds
The things we can’t leave behind
Just leave us numb and hallow
Forced-fed we fight to swallow
The decisions that we’ve made
Take it down, take it right down off the wall
Plastic smiles framed all in a row
This “perfect love” now doesn’t quiet look that way
Just a “perfect image” of how things can change
When what we claim isn’t what we believe
The pictures will lie
The ink will deceive
Footsteps in our minds
The things we can’t leave behind
Just leave us numb and hallow
Forced-fed we fight to swallow
The decisions that we’ve made
Think once before the end of the day
Think twice before you give it all away
Three seconds are just too many
So think fast before the third slips or fades
Footsteps in our lives
The clearly drawn battle lines
Just leave me numb and hallow
Forced-fed I fight to swallow
The decisions that I’ve made
Think twice before you give it all away
