11:12PM
It's 11:12 and I'm scared as hell
 of who I am and who I've become.
 don't leave me stranded here 
 to fend for what I've done.
 it's dark and it's cold
 in a room full of space
 what decisions uphold
 as we all fold in arms race
 11:11 just came too soon
 now those wishes are commands
 all that I offer, you assume
 is yours already, just like me
 but you won't come back, you'll just leave me to breathe
 
 as I breathe I care
 you can't control your heart
 were all self-absorbed teens
 where can we start?
 
 it's 11:12.
 The path between the bay and the shore
 we've just settled out, now I want more
 Don't let me lie to you, don't let me fool myself
 when every reason to believe in
 just shatters like glass off a broken shelf.
 
 we went for a kiss
 but you barely missed
 it's 11:12
 and I cannot face myself.
 
 ..but you've come back
 you've come back to me
 I might learn to trust
 slowly
 they have all moved on
 but were all still learning..
 my heart maps out the rest,
 it's 11:13.
