this pen is my only friend today
it will last until the ink has drained away
and the paper soaks up all my thoughts
so by now it probably knows my plot
to save this world in my own pathetic way
and this heart
is blistering with hope
it's complimented by the lump inside my throat
and it overflows with so much love
magnetized to its opposing pole
so it bursts right out
in patches on my coat
when does this end
the smile i pretend to have is fading
i can't take another inch of it
someone better take my hand before i quit
'cause this young man is not a man at all
just a little boy who grew up way too tall
and this big board game that i play alone
seems hopeless now with the rules unknown
but i still go on with the chances very small
i look for love but it's just like a phone call
i will not hang up but i can't speak words at all
b-b-but it's breaking up
and the signal's gone
please help me now so i don't feel lost
when the markers of the trail have begun to fall
when does this end
the smile i pretend to have is fading
i can't take another inch of it
someone better take my hand before i quit
quit now while your brain still functions
quit now 'cause the failure comforts you
quit now while eyes still open
quit now while your heart still has no clue
quit now because it's just too easy to throw out your dreams and just give in
even the smallest risk is still a risk to take
quit now and spare the chance to win
quit now while your brain still functions
quit now 'cause the failure comforts you
quit now while eyes still open
quit now while your heart still has no clue
quit now because it's just too easy to throw out your dreams and just give in
even the smallest risk is still a risk to take
quit now and spare the chance to win
