Wishing With Ghosts - Leverage

My hands are tied, I can't deny
I wont call you t-t-t-t-t-t-tonight
Now I watch, watch and learn
Watch your self inflicted burns
Tides are unsure, call me a whore
I don't know what to d-d-d-d-do anymore

It's the cut in my finger, it's the pain in my neck
I watch your noose behind a barbed wire fence
I know what your head says, to you it makes sense
That subtracting yourself makes no difference
And you know you're crashing an emotional wreck
All of your feelings hanging on by a thread

It's tearing my face, it's the count of the clock
I'm caught up in strings and getting tied in a knot
You know what you want from me and know what you're not
I tell you but you're never, never, never enough
It's changing my place, it's messing me up
I'm pushing on and don't know when I should stop
You know what you want to do and you've had enough
And I want to show you, but your eyes are glued shut

You can't even hear, they plugged up your ears
Your loved ones are yelling and they have been for years
Open your hands, unclench your fists
Hold on to something so that you can resist
I feel your anger, I feel your hate
But I know it j-j-j-j-just stems from the pain
And I can see the struggles in your little face
And I'd be lying if I said I'm not the same

It's tearing my face, it's the count of the clock
I'm caught up in strings and getting tied in a knot
You know what you want from me and know what you're not
I tell you but you're never, never, never enough
It's changing my place, it's messing me up
I'm pushing on and don't know when I should stop
You know what you want to do and you've had enough
And I want to show you, but your eyes are glued shut

I know it looks selfish when you're the one lost
But if I didn't care, I wouldn't worry this much
I'm not complaining, venting my thoughts
Cause I'd rather die trying than standing amok

We can be people, we don't need hearts
I know it's not simple, but it's a start
If we could just hold hands, be never part
Keep us from falling and drown in the love

It's tearing my face, it's the count of the clock
I'm caught up in strings and getting tied in a knot
You know what you want from me and know what you're not
I tell you but you're never, never, never enough
It's changing my place, it's messing me up
I'm pushing on and don't know when I should stop
You know what you want to do and you've had enough
And I want to show you, but your eyes are glued shut

It's the cut in my finger, it's the pain in my neck
I watch your noose behind a barbed wire fence
I know what your head says, to you it makes sense
But your thoughts are lying to get rid of yourself
