jump the gun, kill the runner

today reeks of yesterday's repercussions
these lies they cut and bruise the very fabric of lives
its a race with no finish line
and yet everyone is still running
but what for other than just to prove
that i can last longer than you?
even if it means throwing what i believe in,
out the open window that you leapt through? (TO SAVE YOURSELF)
strike the ground with your bare fist
and scream into the nothingness
"this beautiful day, it kills me inside"
knowing i cant stare at it tomorrow
whatever solace i might find
will surely be lost as i follow these thoughts
but i'm "independent" so it makes me feel that much better
as much as i'd hate to admit this
i'm still fighting everything about you
you emptied me out but i'm still standing
(RUN)
i'm falling now
(AWAY)
dreaming of what could have been
these pictures snap these picture frames and splinter my heart
this beautiful day it kills me inside
grasping onto whatever we can find
i'm left hanging here as you jump out the window
but your lies will break your fall
as for me its hard to breathe with the truth tightening around my throat
i hung on for you but it seems you've won the race
happiness is something that comes seperate
and it feels better when you dont believe
