Warning Sign

I see that warning sign, its right up in your eyes
And we're just talking on the phone, but we both know i'm right
You ask me how i'm doin, i say i'm fine over here
One thing about us both, we don't say shit, but that don't mean that we don't care
So we just chop it up we talk about our current struggles
Which is an issue in itself but the real issue ends up subconsciously muzzled
Thus protecting ourselves from a world that tends to be cold as fuck
It's hard enough to make it through the day let alone open up
So we just carry on, calloused souls with manic goals
I wish you could see that opening up and helping yourself is half the road
I understand your pain, and i can't criticize it
And i'm sure you know it won't go away if you hypnotize it
Or if you sedate it, we both love our medication
We're both patients in deaths waiting room not sure why where still waiting
The doctors room is vacant, yet were still hesitating
Because we know it's wrong, we know were strong, we want to make it
So we just tiptoe on top of the ever thinning line
Afraid to fall so we just tell ourselves 'one day at a time
But whats one day at a time, when the ones that you love aren't saying a line
Ill take it as a warning if you dont reply
...ill take it as a warning if you dont reply

I'll use you as a warning sign, hope i never cross that line
I'll use you as a warning sign, hope i never cross that line

I hope you find your slice of paradise within this life
I hope you stop working jobs for which you're overqualified
I know you're like a soldier, and soldiers carry on
But even soldiers don't walk roads with all that baggage on
The ground you're standing on, it probably feels like quicksand
And i understand every now and then we all use crutches and kickstands
But when you outsource inner strength, that inner strength unbuckles
And you'll need whats left inside for when the family is in trouble
I don't mean disrespect, pardon me for a sec, just grin and bear it with me
If you're looking for the answer, you won't find it anywhere at Richie's
I'd say i don't mean to bring this up, but truthfully this is usually what i'm thinking of
When my girl ask(s) me whats wrong and i just make shit up
I act like its all gravy, guess i know where i got it from
But i still make my own choices, i won't be limited to what i'm a product of
And what i'm a product of is not talking to one another
But not talking is what recently happened to my uncle, your brother
...ill take it as a warning if you don't reply

I'll use you as a warning sign, hope i never cross that line
I'll use you as a warning sign, hope i never cross that line
