When I close my eyes
They don’t stay shut
Brace myself
For a thousand cuts
I feel a fist runnin’ through my gut
So I can’t say much
No I can’t say much
Where will I be when I wake up
What will you say when I give up
What will you feel when I go numb
Where will you be
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
I drink too much but I can’t stay drunk
I know you see I can’t give a ****
I'm giving you the best but I am paralyzed why am I only present when I’m locked inside
You know that I can’t tell you, hope you realize
I can’t use my words so I’ll blink my eyes
Where will I be when I wake up
What will you say when I give up
What will you feel when I go numb
Where will you be
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
I'm giving you the best but I am paralyzed why am I only present when I’m locked inside
When I'm states away
You know that I can’t tell you, hope you realize
I can’t use my words so I’ll blink my eyes
Too many years stumbling down that road
Pulling on that rope with all that weight to bear
Too many pockets filling up with holes
Wearing out my soles to try to take me there
Too many years stumbling down that road
Pulling on that rope with all that weight to bear
Too many pockets filling up with holes
Wearing out my soles to try to take me there
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
When I'm states away
I'm giving you the best but I am paralyzed why am I only present when I’m locked inside
When I'm states away
You know that I can’t tell you, hope you realize
I can’t use my words so I’ll blink my eyes
