lyrics

I've worn down everyone I've known
turned love from others into a loser's cast stones
youve seen it corrode and emote in my eyes
and I no longer catch you in the act of surprise
when you learn how to turn and leave me in my own mind

I've worn down every friend I've owed
took love from others for my own ballast stones
and believe me im not that good of a liar
when I twist and I turn like a murder for hire
when I think of you out there livin' for your own skin

but you heed me
this hate it has meaning
were on the same rock
but we see different moons

Ive turned away everything that I've owned
not good enough, give me new, all alone
this is me

you've seen it corrode and emote in my eyes
and I no longer catch you in the act of surprise
when you learn how to turn and leave me in my own mind
believe me I'm not that good of a liar
when I twist and I turn like a murder for hire
when I think of you out there livin' for your own skin

but you heed me
this hate it has meaning
oh we all have different outlooks
but you heed me
this hate it has meaning
oh, were on the same rock
but we see different moons
