Lyrics To A Friend - Alexisonfire

To A Friend

I"m thinking that it"s time to get out
My patients are fading fast
The mind bruises just a little bit easier
Dark times and shadows cast
What are you suffering for?
Your pride or some kind of personal war?
And will you throw it away?
For nothing more than the simple taste?
I"ll stay in time and watch you pass by And I"ll draw this line (breath slow)
And hope you take my side (breath slow)
You shouldn"t have to fight alone
Its nobody"s battle but your own
Panic holds me like a gun
Firm and steadfast bleak and cold
I think it"s time to kill the drama
This life style"s getting old
Faces threaten from behind closed doors
Eyes spy from dark windows
Plotting minds that seek to harm me, or maybe not
I don"t really know
There is something waiting
For me In the darkest Part of My ima gi na-tion
I"ll stay in time and watch you pass by And I"ll draw this line (breath slow)
And hope you take my side (breath slow)
You shouldn"t have to fight alone
Its nobody"s batt
le but your own
This is just self-induced terror
There"s more to come
This is just a glimpse
I tell myself that it"s all in my head
But im pretty hard to convince
Oh, there"s no relief
Oh, this world can offer
Oh, there"s no relief
Oh, this world can offer me I stay in time and watch you pass by I draw this line
And hope you"ll take my side
You shouldn"t have to fight alone
It"s nobody"s battle but your own
