frank iero and the cellabration Lyrics

i want what i want.
I have desires that are specific and unchanging.

i need what i need.
There are certain things that I require in order to function.

i want what i need.
There are things that I require that I also desire.

i need what i want.
There are things that I desire that I also require in order to function.

but i'm not what you wanted.
I am not the person that you desired or expected me to be.

let's go…
Let's leave this situation and move on.

hell-bent on slipping away.
I am determined to escape, no matter what it takes.

i felt you slowly turn away.
I sensed you distancing yourself from me over time.

my thoughts go black it breaks my heart.
My mind goes blank and it pains me deeply.

i ignore your taps on windows still.
I am avoiding your attempts to reconnect with me.

i've become attached to where i fell.
I have formed an emotional connection to the place where I experienced a difficult time.

it's true there's room for you.
I admit that there is space for you in my life.

although we've still got miles to go, i've forgotten the places i used to know.
We still have a long way to go, but I have forgotten where we came from.

this face gives smiles unjustified.
I put on a happy face even when I am not truly happy.

i once was lost but i swear i'm fine.
I used to be lost, but now I am doing okay.

until the ground holds me in its arms i'm true and i'll wait for you.
Until the day I die, I will remain faithful and wait for you.

isn't it obvious I'm a wreck, i set these fires just for you.
It should be clear that I am a mess, and I am doing these destructive things because of you.

isn't it obvious i've calmed down, i saved my breakdowns just for you.
You should be able to tell that I am not as wild as I used to be, and I am only having my emotional breakdowns because of you.

i felt you slowly slip away
I could feel you slipping away from me.

those cemetery eyes,
Your eyes had a lifeless, death-like quality to them.

these 7 deadly sins,
I have committed many sins that are considered to be the most egregious.

these 40 days of night,
I have gone through an extremely dark and difficult period in my life.

have severed all our ties.
Our relationship has been completely destroyed.

i am the seventh son.
I come from a family with a history of bad luck.

i have my father's eyes.
I have inherited my father's traits, both good and bad.

i am the setting sun.
I am coming to the end of my life or the end of a specific period in my life.

i am a loaded gun.
I am dangerous and could snap or hurt someone at any moment.
