lyrics

The weakness I display
Is merely a show
And the strengths that I once had
Are just memories of before
I opened my mind
So my soul could be renewed
I'm almost out of time
So I guess I'll try for you

I'll make a sacrifice
For my mental well-being
I will pay the price
Of the entry fee times two
For me and for you
Like I always do
But my wallet's getting skinnier
Every minute that I spend with ya
Now I'm losing my mind
So taste it, don't take it lady

My skins been growing sharper
Just like my tongue
What good can these two do
Without reciprocals
The only thing I want
Is a mile away
When it's so close that i can see it
Something pushes me the other way
And I said

You need to make a sacrifice
For your mental health
Girl you really should heed my advice
Well I'm seeing you la la la la lonely
If you keep this up
So la la la la lonely
My attention's lost
Your self destructive attitude
Is making you of no more use to me

So I've been
So damn busy today
I took all my wants and needs
And i threw 'em all away
Now im so la la la la lonely
All i knew was you
I'm so la la la la lonely
But now that we arfe through
I bet you never guessed it
But this manifesto confessed it all for me
