i wasn't positive on the lyrics - i couldn't find them any where else...but let me know if i have to edit them!

anyways. i love this song. "i was praying to leave" gives me goosebumps and i love the thought of "this disaster in me." i think we can all relate to the emotion of this song. so fierce.

Here's what I hear when I listen to this song. I'm not guaranteeing it's 100% right, but maybe someone else can correct mine if mine's not quite right either?

I've been sleeping with a memory I think I'll lie a little longer Wait for the crowds to go Maybe I'll die in this unholy mess And I'll be free

Yes, that's what they said that I would be When we came to watch the world be over But there's too many fools On this boat that we made I can hardly see the water

Well, it's happened to me I was down...
