Maybe Tomorrow

Now I'm here, fighting my own demons. Tell can you see them, with their eyes burning so red. My hands are weak from breaking all the molds. I've done everything that I'm told. I didn't know that you were so afraid of heights. And I'm so sorry but I think that I'm far to weak To let you think I can help you down from your pedestal tonight. I can't help you down tonight. I can't help but be angry. I just wish that you would save me. Pushed the numbers down and watched them fade away. I'm so small from down here; you're my biggest fear; You grind my flesh and bones and feed it to all the needy kids. I said tomorrow and today I'll be the same, But I'll show you now that I know how I can really change. And you might not like it. You say I'm so divisive, I just think your indecisive, so I tell you the choices I think you should already know. And I'm so sorry, but I'm at the brink, I cannot think tonight. I can't let you down tonight. Why can't I see that just maybe I'm in way over my head, Why can't I see that just maybe I'm in way over my head. I'm far to weak, I cannot think tonight. Why can't you see that unfortunately your sinking just like lead, Why can't you see that unfortunately your sinking just like lead. And I'm so sorry but I don't think I can lift you up tonight, Yeah your on your own tonight.
