Hawthorne Heights - Picket Fences lyrics
[Hawthorne Heights - Picket Fences lyrics]
The places I remember are
Getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and
Needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?
The faces in the picture are burnt
Just like the real ones
Our skin is the exposure it's
Gotten so much older
But am I not everything you
Thought I could be?
This life long competition still
Reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing
Left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the
World to see my guts
Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone must come to an end
The children in the school yard have
Grown so old and tired
The shift is almost over I'm
Praying I don't get fired
Life isn't everything I thought it should be
The bills left on the table will be
Payed if I was able to
Work a few more hours
My life has grown so sour
Because I'm not everything I
Thought I could be
This life long competition still
Reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing
Left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the
World to see my guts
Where are you now, and where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone must come to an end
The places I remember are
Getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and
Needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?
Getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and
Needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?
The faces in the picture are burnt
Just like the real ones
Our skin is the exposure it's
Gotten so much older
But am I not everything you
Thought I could be?
This life long competition still
Reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing
Left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the
World to see my guts
Where are you now? and where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone must come to an end
The children in the school yard have
Grown so old and tired
The shift is almost over I'm
Praying I don't get fired
Life isn't everything I thought it should be
The bills left on the table will be
Payed if I was able to
Work a few more hours
My life has grown so sour
Because I'm not everything I
Thought I could be
This life long competition still
Reeks of repetition
I've failed at everything I tried to do
My life plays in front of you
And now I've realized there's nothing
Left for me to hide
I've opened myself enough for the
World to see my guts
Where are you now, and where have you been?
Everything and everyone
Everything and everyone must come to an end
The places I remember are
Getting worn and withered
My heart's the picket fences and
Needs a little mending
Am I not everything you thought I should be?
