lyrics

The streets we used to walk down have been replaced by empty roads
The air of our old small town now only makes us choke
You told me of forgiveness, what's that mean to the accused?
And though these roads used to feel endless, they saw the end of all we knew

Tell me will you ever be the remedy?
'Cause I don't think it gets better
And everything that once seemed right to me
Just disappeared with the weather
So tell me will you ever be what I need?
Or will you just stay a fetter?
Tell me am I ever gonna get some sleep?
It's been what feels like forever

We each have picked our poison, now we drink to a new life
When in truth the lies we choose will only last tonight
Anything we might find to numb the pain, we use
'Cause I get tired of walking in straight lines
But sometimes so do you

Tell me will you ever be the remedy?
'Cause I don't think it gets better
And everything that once seemed right to me
Just disappeared with the weather
So tell me will you ever be what I need?
Or will you just stay a fetter?
Tell me am I ever gonna get some sleep?
It's been what feels like forever

Tell me something I don't know
Will I fall back if I let go?
How can I feel like I'm free
If the only one you've saved is me?

Tell me will you ever be the remedy?
'Cause I don't think it gets better
And everything that once seemed right to me
Just disappeared with the weather
So tell me will you ever be what I need?
Or will you just stay a fetter?
Tell me am I ever gonna get some sleep?
It's been what feels like forever.
