Armitage

I came up for air in the dark
But I was chained to the floor
Nightmare recurring, the clock doesn't work anymore
Hey, my name's Joe, my last name I don't really know
I don't feel deserving, my fingers feel numb from the cold

It's not for lack of trying
But it's never gonna happen

A moment in time at my desk
A picture I kept
The camera lens focused
Five years of hell then you left
If it's for the best
Why am I barely coping?

You know the choice, now you choose
Your family, your friends or the booze
I told her to let you home, what a mistake, I'm a fool

And it's not for lack of trying but it's never gonna happen
And it's not for lack of trying but it's never gonna
Never gonna, never gonna happen

A moment in time at my desk
A picture I kept
The camera lens focused
Five years of hell then you left
If it's for the best
Why am I barely coping?
I turned the light on to see what's inside of your head
Bit there's nothing left
That's not my real last name
What's a picture with no picture frame?

Who calls each other, who calls the shots?
Do you blame me or not?
I'm just the boy you raised, who grew up and changed his name
Your sons, your little boys, filled their houses with toys
To take up the space, you left in your wake, now you're just a decade late

It's not for lack of trying but it's never gonna happen

A moment in time at my desk, a picture I kept, the camera lens focused
Five years of hell then you left, if it's for the best, why am I barely coping?
I turned the light on to see what's inside of your head, there's nothing left
That's not my real last name
(It's not for lack of trying)
That's not my real last name
(It's never gonna happen)
That's not my real last name
What's a picture with no picture frame?
