about

I don't consider myself to be an angry person, but this is kind of an angry song.

lyrics

Maybe this time you could just walk away from your man-made disaster
Maybe this time I’ll shed my skin
You’d be better off if you learned to sit still
Take your hand off the trigger—you can’t afford to lose
No need to break it down, it’s just a distraction from the truth:
You are the drama you find in your life
It’s taking a toll on every inch you touch
Take your hand off the trigger—you can’t afford to blush

Wake up
I know you can’t seem to wake up

Step by step you’re destroying what’s certain without a second thought
And later you’ll claim you’re finding yourself
Take your hand off the trigger—you can’t afford the fall
If you weren’t such a liar you wouldn’t lie to yourself
You never learned to forgive before you forget
Go stare yourself in the face for just one second
And take your hand off the trigger—it won’t make you right

Wake up
I know you can’t seem to wake up

Oh, I know what I’ve been told
I’ve heard it many times before
But pull yourself together
Or we’ll crumble up for sure

Wake up
I know you could
Crawl into my arms
I’ll take you home
