Now she was a closed book, with no covers
Til you go under, and her soul guts ya
Only showin the first page in the first place
Then the whole comes in, and it's oh fuck it
Walked in every place like she owned it
Talked and never stayed for the moment
Options entertained all her coastin
Soft as wedding cake til you hoped it
This just made her more elusive
More a beauty and more a nuisance
Im sorta loosened so I'm torquin screws when
She probably made more than forty boring new friends
Dedicated to her medicated on herb
Can't Find Nerves or words to turn
Away from this like payed for bliss
I'm burned cause I work don't earn
At first, you wouldnt see the ambition
Right when you thought there couldnt be a transition
Bad to worse, when good was in the hand clinchin
Need communication but cant put a piece in transmission
And I can't grip it, another stroll alone
With Lana on my head like I'm comatose
Not thinking about anything but going home
Waiting, and dwelling on her when I show my soul
That's how i suppose it goes
I feel I cannot change a thing
One thing they should grow to know
Its realer than endangerment I need her to be sane to live
You can call this craziness but I dont really care
You dont know the half of it, and I dont feel to share
Chasin and all I'd truly like to is,
Make it or I'll ruin my life through it
All was safe and sound, still Id wait around
I always put it on the pedestal to take it down
And Im breakin now crack in the vase
Its a fact it'll stay til Im Passin away
And Im Driven to be livin to cope
and every little bit shes givin me hope
Sick in the head? man im sick to the bone
we work so good but we're differnt it shows
but no excuse could ever stop a dream
if i quit now time would just be haunting me
talk is cheap but the songs are deep
while most laugh at me like a comedy
Damn, they musta missed the picture
they don;t understand why shes in my written
in my visions yet im sticking with it
while they look for romance in the indecision
...and it aint over if im blessed
and it aint over if im dead
and it aint over if time ends
its strong it lives on
...and it aint over if im blessed
and it aint over if im dead
and it aint over if time ends
its strong it lives on
