[Verse 1]
Maybe the grass is greener
On the other side
'Cause it's always raining there
I was born a dreamer
But my dream life
Turned out to be my nightmare

[Verse 2]
I have heard it said that when
One door closes
God opens up a window
But I live on the seventh floor
So the metaphor
Hits too close to home

[Pre-Chorus]
Every rope that I've ever been thrown
Somehow ends up wrapped around my throat
I've been trying to fight this on my own
But I'm letting go

[Chorus]
Here comes my train of thoughts again
I'm tied down to the tracks
I know there's no escaping it
I guess I'll fade to black
Here comes my train of thoughts again
I'm tied down to the tracks
This really ain't no way to live
I guess I'll fade to black
[Verse 3]
Mocking death in every song
To appear strong
And laugh right in its face
Like it hasn't come to call
And taken all
That I love away

[Pre-Chorus]
Every rope that I've ever been thrown
Somehow ends up wrapped around my throat
I've been trying to fight this on my own
But I'm letting go

[Chorus]
Here comes my train of thoughts again
I'm tied down to the tracks
I know there's no escaping it
I guess I'll fade to black
Here comes my train of thoughts again
I'm tied down to the tracks
This really ain't no way to live
I guess I'll fade to black

[Post-Chorus]
I guess I'll fade to black
Oh, I guess I'll fade to black
Oh, I guess I'll fade to black
Oh, I guess I'll fade to black
[Outro]
I just want to tell you how much this hurts
But I gotta make it rhyme
People tell me that life goes on
But somehow that makes it worse
I mean I'm fine
Yeah, I'm fine
I'm just tired all the time
