Perish the Thought

don't wait up for me
 i can't think straight
 this time please don't freeze
 just run from focus til i can't see
 why am i the one
 resenting everyone i love
 don't wanna fake another smile
 don't ever want to see you move on
 CHORUS
 why is it everything is all the same
 even through all the fame
 i stand beside myself inside of a joke
 even when i admit to take the blame
 and tarnish my own name
 the guilt inside me causes myself to choke
 all these dreams in me
 achieved but still i don't feel complete
 all alone somehow
 this time there's nothing stopping me now
 i'll reach my arms outside the windows
 catching any breath i can
 i'll need the strength to lie about
 my perfect promised land
 these words embodying them all
 as herds of dolls before the fall
 caked up in makeup
 tracing circles in the sky until i call
 coming to my senses
 losing all i never had
 i'm burning each and every photograph
 to keep from looking bad
 saving faces i've forgotten
 save my own face, no exception
 frame them safely, fake a smile
 and say goodbye to my reflection
