Strip me to the bone
Teach me a lesson on letting go
I'll grow out of my skin
When you prove that you're listening
To what we had to say
And not the way we said it
I'm clumsy with my words
And your careless when repeating
You told me once
That theres nothing
More dangerous than an honest man waiting to test his role
He's got a gun
Ill at ease and tightly wound
Speaks with silver tongue
Lies worth their weight in gold
I was a king or so you'd have me believe it
For half an hour at a time
This is just the way it happened
It's not the way I planned it
I am the architect of all your best disasters
You told me once that there's nothing

Closest (Live Acoustic)
05:22

I was the best laid plans
You were a hurricane
I'd offer you help
But you were always so stubborn
Afraid to change
You cry wolf
While you drown in the shallow water
While I sink to new depths
As swam toward the shore that you promised
It was draining
The last of my strength
I believed you were flawless
When I was so useless
And you asked me to imagine this
All the actions and their consequence
Were the closest to truth with you
They're the closest to true with you.
Can we share an enemy
In me?
If you shackle me to what you hate about yourself.
It would be so easy
I want this
Believe me
Cause I will gladly play your villain
If it's what I need to be
Children dream of being hero's
But we don't choose our own roles
Our lines or our script
I believed you were flawless
When I was so usesless
I'm not perfect
Just let me admit this
You'll be walking for miles
Searching for home
Cause you need something more than the bricks and the stones
As the rain comes down
Your bones start to rust
And the dreams that you had
Are all burning up
What you want me to do?
What you want me to say?
When the lies that you feed me
Have started to taste...
Like the closest to truth with you
They're the closest to truth with you
It's the closest to true with you
They're the closest to true with you
