Lyrics

In the newsstands of my mind rage the headlines of our time
The ink runs red, read just like my heart
Seems a deadline has been met, soon I may regret
The finish of a story yet to start

What can it be that you intend
When all I read are stories that I cannot comprehend

We tried to play the part but can't change who we are
Seems your mind's made up of who I ought to be
As the pieces fall, I'd do anything at all
But I can't be anyone if it isn't me

An end has been foretold, a bill of goods that must be sold
Seems you're the only one to be convinced
Your silent auction has commenced, indifferent pretense
My worthless bid resoundingly evinced

Nothing left to recommend
All I see are signals that I cannot comprehend

We tried to play the part but can't change who we are
Seems your mind's made up of who I ought to be
As the pieces fall, I'd do anything at all
But I can't be anyone if it isn't me

All our scars are on the inside, mine a sign that I survived
Though the scars are ours and though they coincide
Random lines assigned with meanings that we've ascribed
They'll be forgotten memoirs of a time that we

Tried to play the part but can't change who we are
Seems our mind's made up of who we ought to be
As our pieces fall, I can't do anything at all
I won't be anyone if it isn't me

Well I hoped your heart came here to stay but it heads the other way
So little left of us now still remains
Seems something's different than before, you don't love me any more
And tell me you can never see that change
