We're Caving In - Fossil Youth

Fall out the exit, lean on me now I see two of you in both my eyes Blur out my edges, punchdrunk and love-stoned Need something to hold me upright Let me know Won't you let me know? Steady my darling, don't worry I've got you And you got me most of the time Mezcal and lust bleach the message I'm sending They taste like you when you were all mine Would you let me know? Won't you let me know? It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see My head's caving in Oh It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see Won't you let me know? Won't you let me know? Oh it's so hard to believe what you won't let me see My head's caving in My head's caving in

It's hard to say what's real these days My mind can be a dangerous place She's too naive for suicide But god I wish that bitch would die Give me, give me, give me, give me a reason Why every night I'm losing sleep God damn she's on to me again Or maybe I had too much to drink You see I think I figured out I figured out as I was thinking How to stop her piercing voice From everything that she was stealing Get the gun, get the gun, get the gun Is all I'm hearing again and again you know I used to be such a hopeless man And she used to be such a sweet, sweet thing She's too naive for suicide But god I wish that bitch would die Shot gun shells, yeah it's alright The whiskey says, "Let's take her fuckin' life." One thing I do remember Is that things never get better And I got to make the voices, make the voices for the maker Of the maker making voices, making voices Gotta make her, gotta, gotta make her stop Before my head comes caving in again You can walk this world all alone But I can still hear her, tearing me apart

I wish I could've known On my approach, you were hard as stone Had I done you wrong? Had I stolen your smile, had I pulled you along? Fed you with words that were vacant and cold? Feeling my world caving in Feeling your love grow thin Lock you inside my head If you care, if you don't To undo what you did It's a mess, it's my fault It's my careful resolve What I hear, what I want It was not what you... said We cannot move this This space that's between us Without some kindness To soften the load To grace us with hope I wish I would've shown Something besides what was carelessly known Had I held my ground When we fell down and crept out of what we had plowed Locked up and caught up and crumbling down Feeling my world caving in Feeling your love grow thin Lock you inside my head If you care, if you don't To undo what you did It's a mess, it's my fault It's my careful resolve When I hear what I want It was not what you... said We cannot move this This space that's between us Without some kindness To soften the load To grace us with hope

Have you ever been swindled by a swindler who lies? 'Cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired And he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside So he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise We want things to be real, but you really can't deny We feel excited and on fire, is it wrong to lie and say he's fine? When the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing lives In just one hour, all these people will be better people Take this job and shove it, adios, I'm a ghost I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again I am not your savior or your heavenly host I'm just a piece of zwieback toast getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth I'm going south like the geese I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you But I don't even want to spoon I did once, but I don't now Now that I see how you do things The way you play and sing's amazing But the way you play the game is crazy You don't have to say you're sorry, you don't owe me anything Don't owe me anything Sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers But the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing Like how will I react when I see my mother crying Every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying? And how will I contain my anger When Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes? And where will I go where I can feel safe When my family sells its place and we all split up and move away? I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in

Well, I followed Every single road back to the shallow This feeling's weighing heavy on my heart now Impossible to get back to the start now You used to make me feel like we had wings And we could fly away You always said we'd make it back someday But every little thing, every little thing Every little thing's coming back to me So pull me in or let me down slowly Another rush I can't stop caving in I can't stop caving in So are you coming back to me? Tell me who you wish that I could be You got me at the end of your string So pull me in or let me down slowly You wanna see me in a better light, but You kept me in the dark for far too long You know I never meant to make you cry But I made you cry like a thousand times But now Here's the part where you find out When you ignore all those doubts There's a price to pay You used to make me feel like we had wings And we could fly away You always said we'd make it back someday But every little thing, every little thing Every little thing's coming back to me So pull me in or let me down slowly Another rush I can't stop caving in I can't stop caving in So are you coming back to me? (Back to me) Tell me who you wish that I could be You got me at the end of your string So pull me in or let me down slowly Well, I followed Every single road back to the shallow And this feeling's weighing heavy on my heart now (We could fly away, we could fly away) Impossible to get back to the start now (I can't stop caving in) But now here's the part where you find out When you ignore all those doubts There's a price to pay (a price to pay) So pull me in or let me down slowly (yeah, yeah) Another rush I can't stop caving in I can't stop caving in So are you coming back to me? (Back to me) Tell me who you wish that I could be You got me at the end of your string So pull me in or let me down slowly You got me at the end of your string So pull me in or let me down slowly You got me at the end of your string So pull me in or let me down slowly (But now, here's the part where you find out) (When you ignore all those doubts) when you ignore (There's a price to pay, a price to pay) So pull me in or let me down slowly
