Alexisonfire - To A Friend

I think that it's time to get out

My patients are fading fast

the mind bruises just a little bit easier

in dark times and shadow's cast



What are you suffering for?

Your pride or some kind of personal war?

And will you throw it away?

For nothing more than a simple taste?



[Chorus]

I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)

I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)

You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)

It's nobody's battle but your own



Panic holds me like a gun

firm and steadfast bleak and cold

I think it's time to kill the drama

This life style's getting old



Whispers behind closed doors

eyes spy from dark windows

Plotting minds seek to harm me,

or maybe not, I don't really know



There is something

Waiting for me

in the darkest part of my imagination



[Chorus]

I'll stay in time and watch you pass by (paranoia woven deep beneath my skin)

I draw this line and hope you'll take my side (breathe slow, breathe slow)

You shouldn't have to fight alone (you shouldn't have to fight at all)

It's nobody's battle but your own



This is just self-induced terror

There's more to come, this is just a glimpse

I tell myself it's all in my head

but I'm pretty hard to convince



Oh, there's no relief

Oh, this world can offer

Oh, there's no relief

Oh, this world can offer me



I'll stay in time and watch you pass by

I draw this line and hope you'll take my side

You shouldn't have to fight alone

It's nobody's battle but your own
