lyrics

I woke up yesterday in a bedroom full of broken ashtrays
And bottles empty as the promises I’ve made
I looked back to the room and felt a shroud of impending doom
A toxic mix of desperation and decay

I looked around awhile but nothing left could make me smile
Have I been blind for all these years or just in deep denial?
There was a box of things, old photographs and magazines
I checked its contents so nostalgic and serene

I lost my way somewhere in time
Don’t know when, it kills my mind
Just another graveyard ghost
Full of memories, thoughts and quotes
Every friend already dead
Haunting flashbacks in my head
Breakaway, breakaway
Breakaway, breakaway

I snapped right on the scene and doused the house in gasoline
I couldn’t stand another minute of this dream
I broke out every mirror and pissed on the forgotten years
Of every barren wasted space I chose to fear
And I inhaled the fumes I’m used to breathing in
And set fire to the bed we used to sleep in
With a virgin cigarette lit out of superstition
While getting drunk with some old memories in the kitchen

I watched the ashes slowly die
Waiting for the cops outside
Laughing madly in the snow
With nowhere to go
Another day, another curse
Time of death matches the birth
Breakaway, breakaway
Breakaway, breakaway
Breakaway, breakaway
