lyrics

i think I'm starting to feel things slip through the cracks
well I've been down this road before and it feels like I'm nearin the end
if you remember me I hope you know that I tried
I'm an island in the ocean with no ships around for miles

what you see is an empty vessel driftin on
well I just want you to know I never tried to disappoint anyone

my eyes are shut but I can feel you in my hands
because its burning in your basement and I feel our bodies turning to ash
I always thought you would be with me when it all ends
well I'm a castle that is crumbling and I feel the armies closing in

so please don't let me hang around
cause I don't wanna be the guy that's dragging you down
(I can see it now)
it seems I've reached my final throws
we're in the bottom of the 9th won't you leave me alone?
(and I'm all struck out)

what you see is an empty vessel driftin on
well I just want you to know that

so please don't let me hang around
cause I don't wanna be the guy that's dragging you down
(I can see it now)
it seems I've reached my final throws
we're in the bottom of the 9th won't you leave me alone?
(and I'm all struck out)
we're in the bottom of the 9th please just leave me alone
