You crashed into my universe I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse And I feel your presence pressing on a nerve I need to end this cycle of hurt You were always the one to get there first While I've been sleepwalking since my birth And I've got this question, have I got the nerve? I need to end this cycle of hurt It seems in every place and everywhere I turned It seems that over time your resentment burned I'm tired of need, I'm tired of me, I'm tired of circling in your stir I need to end this cycle of hurt Now your eyes are fixed to the skies Yet your feet still fixed to the dirt And I've got this question, have I got the nerve? I need to keep myself alert Oh, it's trap now, haven't you heard? Yeah Cycle of hurts It's a trap It's a trick It's a trap It's a trick It's a trap It's a trick It's a trap It's a trick It's a trap

Well, I want you to notice To notice when I'm not around I know that your eyes see straight through me And speak to me without a sound I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter When I walked out this morning I cried as I walked to the door I cried about how long I'd be away for I cried about leaving you all alone I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane So I wanted to say this 'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin To explain to you what I have been through To explain where your daddy has been So I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane

The hating and the waiting, hesitating I just want to be done with you Faking for the taking but I'm waking Up to the fact that you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done And you've broken any notion of trust Because you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done All the damage done All the damage done Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Force my hand when my eyes are wide open You're lying and denying it's just sick You're lying and denying it's just sick It's just sick

Do you feel like you're falling? You've taken this step In front of you Is further from the truth And you fall apart In front of me again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again So you try not to follow While the clock fails to sleep So here we are Back where it began And toe to toe I stand In front of you again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again, again Again

Not really good at just paying attention I'm not very good at remembering things that you say I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am I'm not really sure of the coming attractions I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am Not very good at just paying attention Not very good at remembering things I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play When I'm trying so hard just to beat you I'm not really good at controlling my fate I'm not really good at controlling my anger I'm not really good at subduing my hate I'm not really good I'm not really good I'm not really good It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am

Try to let go, but you won't let me So I'm closed off, hating all I see Play the victim so carelessly You're addicted to uncertainty Uncertainty You bring out the lowest that I have in me I feel the chaos and the gravity And I can't escape the bitterness, I can't change You bring out the lowest that I have Lowest that I have in me Try to hold back all the anger But, it's a trigger and I can't relax Losing focus on the things you lack So you push me to the brink And I don't know what is next You bring out the lowest that I have in me I feel the chaos and the gravity And I can't escape the bitterness, I can't change You bring out the lowest that I have Lowest that I have in me Lowest of low I'm so fucking high Sever all ties I don't recognize what I've become Thread is pulled, you've made an animal You bring out the lowest that I have in me I feel the chaos and the gravity And I can't escape the bitterness, I can't change You bring out the lowest that I have Lowest that I have in me Lowest that I have in me
