Seventh Story - Paint By Numbers

This quiet room turns black

The smoke it fills my lungs and I can barely breathe

Watching it all go down in flames

I might as well go too and I can barely breathe

All this time hurt by my own defeat

Replay it all then throw away

It’s all that I know

Days away these ties unwind and break

Things won’t be like they used to be just let me go

Can’t find my own way down

As this seventh story burns so won’t you carry me

I wish that I could be more like you

Safe on the ground below

But I know that I’ll end up underneath

Always I’ve waited for this day

I’ll wait too long so let me go

You’re safe right where you landed

I’m taking chances on my own
