Think Twice

Folder: 
The Present

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
