Second Thoughts (Acoustic) Lyrics

I hear the static drawing nearer.
There's no way out.
I breathe the ice and let the fire die.
They keep on feeding me the chemicals I need to breathe.
But how can something so important not belong to me?
I can't pretend like I'm the one who was gonna change this but all I know is that our time is running out.
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go.

So how much longer must I wait.
To fill this emptiness.
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss.
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.

And out of the dust I see the light creep in.
And I know it won't be long.
But I'm still terrified, cuz at least in the dark no one else can see who you really are.
So bring me the sound of your guns and blame me for all of your wrongs.
It seems hate is all I have left.
Yeah it's all I have left, it's the only thing that's left in me.
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much farther left we could go.

So how much longer must I wait.
To fill this emptiness.
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss.
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.

So when you feel like you're falling under.
Holding on to the things you thought you loved.
Will you let all the things you've run from.
Chew you up and spit you out?
This all ends now.
I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much farther left we could go.

So how much longer must I wait.
To fill this emptiness.
I've made mistakes and had my dreams slip through the cracks.
I've seen such hate surround me inside of this dark abyss.
But all this pain just makes me certain that there's love for me to find on brighter paths.
Don't be scared to see the lights go out.
