lyrics

Years ago I created a monster
that I thought I could always outrun
but in time you begine to blur thelines
what is here that is still mines
and what have I become?
and I know your patience is wearing thin but it seems my excuses are the thinnest of all
I didn't even get to taste the pride before the fall

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
and I stumble over words that I can't say
and I've grown so tired of running knees grow weak
but it's far,its far too late for that

You and I we're not so different
infact,we are far too much alike
we both tried,we both imbibed 'till it was deep inside and it pushed out
everything in its sight
look me in the eye, you made a vow,you said you swore
that you'd love it to death and would never give it up
look how far all our commitments got us now

and all the things that we became
it seems we've only got ourselves to blame
because all the things that we've become
are direct results of all the things we've done

all these warnings we had they felt just like monsters under your bed
tell me how do you fell,all these years on,they sleep beside you instead

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
and I stumble over words that I can't say
and I've grown so tired of running knees grow weak
but it's far,it's far too late for that
