God, I love excuses- nothing better than a homemade lie

Out of my way, out of my reach- how do you dream if you still can't sleep?
F#m F#m D E
My mind is a terrible gift and I'd rather be numb than feel this way
BRIDGE
C#5 E5 C#5 E5
Come home when the metal is broken/ another thief doesn't honor a thing

Half my time in one protection- this is better than a beggar's stand
