Straight Line Arrival - Playing with Knives

I'm gonna have to ask you to keep your distance
Cause my friends don't stay alive for long
And while I'm pretty good at starting fires
I'd be damned to know how to put one out

I'm gonna have to ask you to show some patience
Cause I move at a snails pace if I'm moving at all
I see me friends when I meet them, and in my dreams they all die
That's why I say I'm living the dream whenever you stop by

From funeral to funeral, from one bad call to the next
I am falling through the floor, the walls push upon my chest
It's not normal it's not normal, but than what again what really is
I will never get what I deserve and all my friends, they deserved to live

I'm gonna have to ask you to hate me like I do
Cause I need to justify this loathing inside my chest
When you are stuck in a life that takes a little bit at a time
When given time, you will fin that you have, well you will have nothing left
I will have nothing left

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave like they all do
I'm a stray cat that only pretends to get attached
I'm on the fence about a lot of things, most of these things grand scheme mean nothing
But all I can think about is leaving and never coming back
I'm never coming back
