lyrics

Some days I swear that I can taste those empty promises
On my tongue, on my tongue
I fill my bottles with regrets, I line ‘em up and knock ‘em
Back down, one by one
Try to see me as I could be
I’m afraid of what I am right now
Tomorrow is a curse and it’s pulling me down
Down, down, down

Is it too late for me to get right?

We lay our bodies in the dirt, we burn our callowness to
Ashes, ashes
I’m not scared of sleeping underground but I’m uncertain of the after
What comes after?
It’s a bad dream I’ve been having
It’s a place I wish I’d never found
Tomorrow is a curse and it’s pulling me down
It’s pulling me down

Is it too late for me to get right?
I’d rather be a light, not a black hole
Is it too late for me to get right?

I want the darkness out of me

Some days I swear that I can taste that disillusionment
On your tongue, on your tongue
I fill my heart up with regret, you pick it up and put it
Back down-- are we wiser now?
Try to see me as I could be
I’m ashamed of what I am right now
Tomorrow is a new day, I won’t let you down
I won’t let you down

Is it too late for me to get right?
I’d rather be a light, not a black hole
Is it too late for me to get right, to get right
Somebody tell me
Is it too late for me to get right
Make me a light, not a black hole
Is it too late for me to get right, to get right, to get right
