Before that steak knife took my eyes
In case you're wondering, I'm singing
“For good, I hope”, I softly tell my ceiling
For the last time I'd cry
To my eardrums long ago
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
Every breath that I could barely breathe
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
Would never matter anyway
I looked up to the sky
About growing up, about giving in
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
It's better now to be alive
In case you're wondering, we're singing
And every step that I could take
About growing up, about giving in
Why is it that you never said
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
For the last thing I would ever see
I guess, I should be one to talk
Say, “It's the roll of the dice”
I'm having nightmares all the time
Each one more difficult to make
About growing up, about giving in
Cubicles will now suffice
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs
And in between is where I'm stuck
Everything that you could never say
There's nights that I can't even walk
A long, long time ago
I pray this gridlock never ends
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs
I think they're wrong, I know I'm right
Found out recently that you are leaving
In case you're wondering, we're singing
“I love you more than just a friend”
I took a hammer and two nails
A long, long time ago
And when we get there just depends
When was it that you sold your life or wasted?
In case you're wondering, I'm singing
Of running out of words that rhyme
Could barely make it past my teeth
