I've run this well dry Now I've fallen in it Drowning in women and wine I've run out of time Yeah, the clock is tickin And I've seem to run out of rhymes Like a boy, in a dream Fast asleep, and paralyzed But he wants to open his eyes But he's afraid of what he will find He's scared to let in the light I can't paint the right words to portray this The only way I know how to say it Is with tears on pages The search is aimless So I'll keep praying But these words are shameless They're worth saving The fears I'm facing They keep facing me We all fall down, fall asleep I'll still be safe in my dreams All fall down, afraid to fly I want to run and hide I know it's unhealthy to play all these mind games But how am I supposed to win you the honest way I'm not that good at just being authentic The only time that I can quit playing is with Tears on pages The search is aimless So I'll keep praying But these words are shameless They're worth saving The fears I'm facing They keep facing me Is with tears on pages The search is aimless So I'll keep praying But these words are shamless The fears I'm facing They keep facing me
