lyrics

Buried deep in a hidden place,
protected by youth.
A crying man shouting in my face,
everything but the truth.

He told me to run around,
follow in his steps.
'Cuz the only thing he ever found was a bottle to his chest, and,
I wish it would be over with,
but I'm trying so hard to hold on.
It feels like jumping into a black hole,
and still falling strong.

Let's just not talk about it.
Can't see from miles away.
Lucky you got out when you did,
lucky you escaped.

Spent a night in the hospital,
after breaking up what's left.
And I'm not surprised at all,
cause it's what saved him from the rest.

And I know, it's inevitable,
but there's just too much going on.
You were right all along,
but can't you see this is wrong?

Let's just not talk about it.
Can't see from miles away.
Lucky you got out when you did,
lucky you escaped.

I'm not sure if I undersand,
how serious it is.
It just feels like an old joke now,
and I'm the next one on the list.
