Say, can I keep this up

Rushing to and fro, to the furthest reaches of my own misery keeps me company

I'd rather go it alone

I never did what was expected of me 'cause I can't see what everyone wants me to see

And I've been walking this path through thick and thin with this pitch

Black darkness trapped within

I can see my demons, they never stay

And every time I reach out they turn away

So we keep on playing this little game of our narrow escapes

Cause I can see their eyes and they're watching me, leading me away from reality

Echoes of the whispers in the night speak in tongues I can't translate

So if I ever wish that I could turn this pitch black

Into an understanding of what it means to be lonely

The one and only, I'll swallow this truth in gulps

I hope I can keep this up, rushing to and fro, in this never-ending game

Tell me truthfully can this misery fade away

So tell me, can this misery fade away
