lyrics

What does a man do, when his heart says follow through
But every nerve in his body refuses to let him feel any part of you

His brain reminds him, of everything he lacks
Every dawn is a new day, but it never fails to fade to black

What does a man do, when everything he owns
No longer brings him any pleasure and he feels so alone

I’ve spent my days stumbling through a haze
Memories all cease to mean anything to me
And I lose my mind at the thought of breaking down
Let’s stick to the plan, no helping hands are gonna pull me out of here

How does a man think, when she calls him by his name
And tells him she doesn’t care about pretense, and hopes he feels the same

His stomach lurches, and turns inside out
Why the hell is this happening now, what’s it all about?

How does a man think, when he wants to run away
After all they say that good things come to those who wait

I’ve spent my days stumbling through a haze
Memories all cease to mean anything to me
And I lose my mind at the thought of breaking down
Let’s stick to the plan, no helping hands are gonna pull me out of here

What is the reasoning?
One day she’ll be leaving me.
What can I do with this?
Fantasizing fiction to keep me from something I can’t fix
