The Pavlov(e) Condition

I am not the boy I was
And the boy I am is just venting
gravity has cursed me
chained to this copper city

Just like my friends before me
Im leaving, leaving
before opportunity escapes me

Talking softly
you've been singing my loudest point
I feel inside
Breathing deeply
and we don't agree
every time
its you and I

I'm thinking too much for it to be safe
Three words run in my head over and over
If you knew what you had, I swear that you could have been big
But you left out one major factor
You will always end this in disaster
And Go Away! Are you starting to remember who he was? After he left?
Before you realize the pavlove condition the kids we attended school with
forced upon him?

I am standing under the arch of the door
your lies are roaming like lions
Nobodys keeping score anymore so calm down
this is not a competition
its my demonstration
