Guess they could say I know you more than myself
How you love to justify
Murder with a sparkle in your eye
I know you'll never die
'Till I rid myself a mind, pathetic cry
Loud enough to choke you dry, dry
Dry
They never said I couldn't choose for my own
Push my hands into your eyes
Just so you could never cry
God if I, if I could, I would take you out myself
Take a blade, run it straight through your brains
If I had the guts would it matter what I did?
If I gave in would I lie again?
You tug the strings, you twist my bones
It's a push and pull, I suppose
You spoon my eyes, you stake my heart
When I say 'stop', well you say 'start'
Everlong I'm stuck inside a mindless self-inflicted paradox with you
My mind is split in two
Would it matter if I killed you?
Would you bat an eye if I just happened to
Dire burn, anticipation in your lungs without justification
You said it like you meant the truth
The innocence of
Guess it wasn't that far off from the words I said to you
If I had the guts would it matter what I did?
If I gave in would I lie again?
You pull the strings, you twist my bones
It's a push and pull, I suppose
You spoon my eyes, you stake my heart
When I say 'stop', well you say 'start'
Everlong I'm stuck inside a mindless self-inflicted paradox with you
My mind is torn apart
