Structure + Lyrics:
Intro
Verse 1
take advantage of these
times, you said
you let me down
it hasn't been the first
time
as i'm falling in the
pit of fire my mind's made up
i'm never coming back
here
Chorus
how long would it take
me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been
traumatized
and i think i'm the
only one still alive
Verse 2
is it just a coincidence
to see you by yourself with no direction?
now its time to move
on and
don't you know that
things aren't getting better
Chorus
how long would it take
me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been
traumatized
and i think i'm the
only one still alive
Bridge
when the world caves
in what are you going to do
when the world caves
in what are you going to do for me?
when the world caves
in what are you going to do
when the world caves
in what are you going to do for me?
(don't try and stop me
because i'm falling
fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
in a blanket of fear
that i've been wrapped in for years
you can't stop me)
Chorus (soft)
how long would it take
me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been
traumatized
and i think i'm the
only one still alive
Chorus
how long would it take
me to walk across the united states all alone?
the west coast has been
traumatized
and i think i'm the
only one still alive
