frayed laces rake lines onto the tile
i'll circle this four walled room
but my fate's one step ahead
an arrangement and it changes
as the day fades
can't trace these thoughts

dissolve all the rust
worn gears turn slow
a chain reaction

fall's somber, it's gripping cold embrace
spill water will find it's way
through the cracks and freeze again
and the rain shifts, undetermined
on swollen ground
bridge gaps, move on

i'm running straight through
these are things that you'll never know
i'm staring straight through
these are things that you'll never know
and forget to learn

the sky turns darker than shades of grey
my blood burns hotter than gasoline
