That's how this story goes
And how it ends
Or how it pauses 'til it starts over again

Count ones and twos
For better days
Before you had all the dark ones on replay



You wish that everything was like the start
Something inside of you says wishing's not enough
Now how you live's not what you did before
You're just a victim now of all that's in between



That's all you'll ever be
That's how it feels
Like you're living in your worst dreams all made real

Then something brings you back
You're back to life
Until the next time you feel something ain't right



You wish that everything was like the start
Something inside of you says wishing's not enough
Now how you live's not what you did before
You're just a victim now of all that's in between

You wish that everything was like the start
Something inside of you says wishing's not enough
Now how you live's not what you did before
You're just a victim now of all that's in between



So a voice that comes from nowhere says I don't know anything
And when the war kicks off within myself, alarm bells start to ring
I've got the messianic complex, and it leaves me on my own
A clean well lighted place inside my head, feels like my only home
I start to wish that I was someone else, and anywhere but here
But I feel so inconsequential, and I'm paralyzed by fear
I'm always waiting, but I'm haunted by the past that I've been through
Feels like I don't know how to fix myself, and neither do you
View from the platform isn't so bad, until you start the fall
And then the countdown's starting up again, 'til you re-live it all



You wish that everything was like the start
Something inside of you says wishing's not enough
Now how you live's not what you did before
You're just a victim now of all that's in between

('Til you relieve it all)

You wish that everything was like the start
Something inside of you says wishing's not enough
Now how you live's not what you did before
You're just a victim now of all that's in between

('Til you relieve it all)
