Today you stepped aside and let us in
Your wounds they cry like tears of crimson
You sing a quiet tune
You've created breathing room
For everyone else but yourself
Everyone else but you're selfish

You do it for the dream
You do it just to breathe
You do it for the sadness and your waking sleep
You do it for the scene
You started it for free
You ended it with minor chords and tragic keys

Today you took a turn and it blocked you in
Your question of the burning is answering
You sing a quiet tune
You've created breathing room
For everyone else but yourself
Everyone else but you're selfish

You do it for the dream
You do it just to breathe
You do it for the sadness and your waking sleep
You do it for the scene
You started it for free
You ended it with minor chords and tragic

I'll take some string and a can
And connect the other end to you
Could I be so bold?
I'd ask you secrets of fame
And how to leave it in flames
And step into the fire

Today you stepped aside and...

Oh you're selfish
You do it for the dream
You do it just to breathe
You do it for the sadness and your waking sleep
You do it for the scene
You started it for free
You ended it with minor chords and tragic keys

You do it for the scene
You started it for free
You ended it with minor chords and tragic keys
