lyrics

I wonder what you're doing since I saw you last about five days ago,
Yeah, I just met you but your words I cannot seem to ever let them go
Don't need, don't ask, don't bleed, you won't last
My greatest teacher, pain reminds me about all the treachery I've seen

I've been around the block stared down the glock, it was my impatience that pulled my own trigger on the thing
Yeah I could lie, the truth is I get so excited by new prospects that I tighten my grip on them
"You want, you take!"
The Other says to me
And I don't know which side is evil anymore
All I know is the past (If I don't wait)
Says this wont last (If I don't wait)
My greatest teacher pain reminds me about all the treachery I've seen

Restraint! Restraint!
The greatest teacher that I've had is pain
He begs me wait or he will come again
Just hold your cards don't show them and don't fold
The stars they glitter, please don't reach for gold
Don't let me break these golden chords I've found
But can I fly with both feet on the ground?
Restraint! Restraint!
