------------------0-- Structure and lyrics: Intro Verse 1 take advantage of these times, you said you let me down it hasn't been the first time as i'm falling in the pit of fire my mind's made up i'm never coming back here Chorus how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone? the west coast has been traumatized and i think i'm the only one still alive Verse 2 is it just a coincidence to see you by yourself with no direction? now its time to move on and don't you know that things aren't getting better Chorus how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone? the west coast has been traumatized and i think i'm the only one still alive Bridge when the world caves in what are you going to do when the world caves in what are you going to do for me? when the world caves in what are you going to do when the world caves in what are you going to do for me? (don't try and stop me because i'm falling fast into this pit of fire which surrounds us all in a blanket of fear that i've been wrapped in for years you can't stop me) Chorus (soft) how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone? the west coast has been traumatized and i think i'm the only one still alive Chorus (hard) how long would it take me to walk across the united states all alone? the west coast has been traumatized and i think i'm the only one still alive
