The Writing on the Wall

White is the color of my wildest dreams
Like the pills I took for my self-esteem
The past is bold, but I'm righting the wrongs
As I bang my head to disposable songs

I wanna rebuild and hose the bridges that I've burned
I need to regild, revise the chapters that I've turned

Call off the hunt, Call off the search
I saw it poised, I saw it perched
Like a subtle dove
On the shoulder of another man's worth

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Voices coming from the hall
Telling me to take the fall

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Standing still, I felt distraught
My guts are tied up in a knot

The vial I keep my hardships in irritates my skin
It's filled to the brim
This fucking place has severed my limbs
On testing grounds of sink or swim

I wanna rebuild and hose the bridges that I've burned
I need to regild and revise the chapters that I've turned

Call off the hunt, Call off the search
I saw it poised, I saw it perched
Like a subtle dove
On the shoulder of another man's worth

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Voices coming from the hall
Telling me to take the fall

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Standing still, I felt distraught
My guts are tied up in a knot

Our lives unfold into maps of stories untold
There's an antidote to help the process as we grow old
Our lives unfold into maps of stories untold
There's an antidote to help the process as we grow old

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Voices coming from the hall
Telling me to take the fall

Clear as the writing on the wall
I always knew that this was my fault
Standing still, I felt distraught
My guts are tied up in a knot
