[Instrumental]
It€™s what you want
It€™s your amphetamine
Another night you€™re settling
For comfort in your bed
The more you fill
The more you€™re empty
You€™re never what you should be
Here is why you€™re sad:
You€™re miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you to fall asleep
I€™m watching you change
It doesn€™t have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe
Fuck what you know
Can€™t you see it€™s shallow?
Every time you swallow
Do you get a taste of what you€™ve become
Regrets, they wake you in the morning
You shower but you€™re not clean
Please just listen
You€™re miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you fall asleep
I€™m watching you change
It doesn€™t have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe
I still remember the days
When you didn€™t feel the need to escape
And every demon you never face
Is the reason you€™re not safe
Please understand that you€™ve had every chance
You€™ve had all the time
All the time in the world
Please understand that you€™ve had every chance
You€™ve had all the time
All the time in the world
You don€™t listen, you don€™t listen, you don€™t listen€
you can never tell me i shouldn't walk away
its foolish to assume that ill be coming back another day
you were never right and i was never wrong
does truth lie in sincerity of another sullen song
cause you were right then i should have been the one to release it
its coming back to tease me
but i was just born and you're pride was too strong
can you change it?
are you willing to face it?
you can tell your story and coat it any way
but you will never change who you trying to play
now your friends are falling out
they know you just don't care
they know you never did
because they say always
the first one is never as good as the next.
hey, it's just rock and roll
even though you might think you lost it all.
cause the times they are a changin
and who can predict what's next
hey, you lost control
even though you might have thought you had it all
and hey, it's just rock and roll
and i'll never change
i love it just the same
i'll never change
because i love it just the same
god i wish i could hate you the rest of my life
god i wish i could hate you for the rest of my
nothing would make me happier
this plan is only surface
and i do not deserve this.
i'm wondering if i'll withstand
to stand alone and stand to scream to the world:
i'm through and now i've come to mend
these wounds that were gored by you through all of them
it's too sad that i've got to mediate these faulty sides of you
and i'm wondering whatever did i do
the only reason that i still remain to you
is i go on repeating the excuse
this plan is only surface
maybe i'm lost in purpose
i've stood alone too many days
and i'm waiting for my day to say to the world
come through with all those promise plans
those year are lost and you've forgotten them
it's too sad
what if this had not happened?
what if she hadn't gone?
what if this had not happened?
she never would have gone
well i wonder if the same
things could be any other way
still i don't deserve this
Just because we're abandoned
Doesn't mean we're alone
Falling down when were empty
Because I know, yes I know
Nothing here really matters
Nothing helps when you're lost
Break me down to an atom
Because I know, yes I know
It's a whole new different world
What you've got to say
Save yourself
There's no salvation
Home is found where the heart is
Space is found in our homes
Shots ring out across the city
Because I know, yes I know
So what you've got to say
It's a whole new different world
What you've got
if i shut my eyes
i'd never see you
the lies would vanish too
i'd have to squint to find truth
what's right?
the weight is huge to reach conclusions
where were you when conscience called
what a mess we're in now
pulling out would be twice as hard
than to live it all down
I'm still waiting for the news dad,
That she's gone and never coming back.
I can't go on because the strength I had is gone
And I find it hard to get out of bed
Oh yeah, don't you know it's true son,
You can never know someone
Even though we sleep together we're alone
And I find it hard to get out of bed
And we operate but
I still feel alone
And I can't complain
Cause she's beautiful
Yes we all have made mistakes
Even though we sleep together we're alone
Yes we've all made mistakes
Even though we sleep together we're alone
And I find it hard to get out of bed
Drain
Tarnished blood form bones
Let those poisons
Dry up
Tonight we'll cleanse our souls
Cause judgment day comes
One day sooner this year
One day sooner safe
We were never pure again
Keep them safe from what you'll discover
Keep them safe from harm
Keep them safe inside your home
If it kills you
you can say i knew it all along
that you were all i wanted
to know the pain has made you grow strong
the scars inside have made you beautiful
stop breathing for me
you said it's your right to shun dependence
and you shun
and you're scared to accept
someone to share your regrets
when you're aching
you go it alone
when you want to
you take what you need to make you whole
i know it's not easy
i know i can't feel through what you have been and trust
don't come easy
'cause to trust is to depend
and who wants to give up that part of them
you know you can have it
if you want to
i'll find you unrelated, cultivated
when you wake up incubated in me
you're free to leave
You should know that I would never let you go.
I'm here to bear the weight of years.
You turn away what else is left for me to say?
you'll think what you want.
It's like we're once again at the first part.
It's safe to fall if you just trust the ground that you stand on.
I swear I would never let you down.
You should know sometimes it's hard for me
to show my fears but I'm never insincere.
Don't turn away from what you trusted yesterday.
I'm still that person that you can always depend on.
You live and learn but when I'm gone I won't return.
You don't have to feel that burn and
I'll know the time has come when you wake up alone and fine.
I tried my best to let you know
That I'm not trying to test you
It's just so hard to let you go
When I have nothing against you
Save your breath this time
You'll need your strength to set this right
Look how far we've come
Oh yeah there's no going back
Look at what we've done
There's no sense in saying
That accusing you of using me ain't right
But I will not give up without a fight
Do or die
Yeah take it back
Fear not cause here's the answer
To your most pressing question
Fear not cause here's the answer
Everyone's just looking for
a reason to go on
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are gone
And I know from my mistake before
I should have seen the truth
Do it one more time
And it'll be my fault for trusting you
Could I ever trust the words you say?
Still trying to say
That I can't forget what you did-no way
You're wasting my time, trying my patience
Still I can't forget what you did-no way
Everyone's just looking for
A person whom to trust
But every time I turn around
I feel that you are lost
Ignored what felt so wrong
To just play the fool once again
Gave up on feelings strong
And buried them
You dream to waste too long, been counting on those you knew as friends. Just
to see them turn and plot and fall before you. The sacrifice of life for them
you'd make but now you know as lies, just replace yourself with those who feel
the same way that you do. When you think that life has done you wrong, pushed
you down enough, don't shake your head and say o.k. Because if you think my
life is yours to wrong-then call me on my bluff, and you'll turn and run away.
The pain behind my eyes was recognized from the time you came to me. But
cigarettes can cloud my mind for only just so long. To disrespect my intellect
through ways and means you can't confuse. It breaks my heart and it tears me up
inside. I should have learned not to sacrifice myself. Don't fall beneath me. I
should have learned not to contradict myself. Don't crawl beneath me. But now
I've learned to see myself with someone else. You say its o.k. for me to want
to, you tell me its alright for me to be sad. Is the time now for redemption?
all the times i've tried
i know they don't erase
the things that brought me down
caused you to hurt, caused you to hate
but now i've figured out
all that we won't do
so i can see that there's no doubt
when you say i know
you're not looking
i'm still watching you
can we forget those times
can we move on
please say that you
can feel the same way that i do
please say that i
can be forgiven one last time
i'm lost without your sight
i can't think without your mind
there's comfort in the night
when i wake up by your side
i'm up here on my own
with nothing left to loose
I won't deny you anything
There's nothing I'll refuse
you're not looking
i'm still watching you
can we forget those times
can we move on
please say that you
can feel the same way that i do
please say that i
can be forgiven one last time
can we move on
please say that you
can feel the same way that i do
please say that i
can be forgiven one last time
please say that you
can feel the same way that i do
please say that i
can be forgiven one last time
Tear it back, tear it slow
Lose yourself, lose control
Listen close, there€™s something you need to hear
If just this once
Everyday the same joke
I never think it€™s funny
Nothing€™s ever what it seems
The truth becomes a dream
And we reach for what we€™re missing in ourselves
I fought away this desperation
I€™ve made attempts to quell temptation
I swear to god I tried
We could never compromise
You could never change me
Cause we reach for what we€™re missing in . . .
We don€™t know how to let love in
Don€™t you cry for me
Because I€™m already dead
I can't believe anything
Every year it's the same
Chew me up
Spit me out again
Oh, I've seen it all
Winter, Summer, Fall
I love you with my eyes
What's you're name
I can't believe how I'm living
Lost in Manhattan
I don't know where to go
There's no where left to go
I can't believe how I'm living
Lost in Manhattan
Tearing pictures off the wall
We took the fall
Everyone could see
That you don't live your life for me
You live for you
There's nothing I can do
Tearing pictures off the wall
We took the fall from truth
Everyone could see
That you don't live your life for me
You live for you
There's nothing I can do
But try to
Climb out the trenches I've dug 'cause I can't see underground
I'm saying
That I understand what it's like
To be living in spite
In five years from now
It will all seem so trite
I'm sleeping today so I can wake in your arms
Tonight...
i know you'll never lose
what's lost inside you
you're burning down the bridges
you've crossed
and you're still around
so nothing's certain
just let go
we deserve it
if i could chose to start it over
i'd exercise more discretion
the lies are abound
and nothing's certain
do you have good intentions?
come on
let go of those affectations
you don't fool anyone
come on
let go
if you want to take on
the years won't say what happened to you
what gains have you earned
what friends have you trampled over
when you're around
nothing's certain
just let go
we deserve it
come on and let go,
Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
sheds light on this conversation, it dies
the hope thats in your eyes
is it worthless, guess so
while you've been dreaming,
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation
lost translation
I need you for nothing at all....
Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
sheds light on this conversation, it dies
the hope thats in your eyes
is it worthless, guess so
while you've been dreaming,
I've been screaming
I wake up with nothing but false salvation
lost translation
I need you for nothing at all....
sex is old, old and boring
when you're feelin nothing,
somethings gotta make you feel
sex is old, old and boring
when you're feelin nothing,
somethings gotta make you feel
we'll listen to you
but your words dont make a sound
and if nothing is true
we can build our own world
Is it me, is it true
every word I utter, lies
(you've been dreaming, I've been screaming)
Is it me, is it true
(every word I utter, lies)
Worthless, so are you
Hey baby, spare me your pretension
I know you can't spread an infection
Yeah the drama never ends
The doctors say that
It's too late now
Suffocation
Suffocation
Leave it alone
Hey do we stand at revelation
JESUS FORGIVE MY CONGREGATION
Yeah the drama never ends
The doctors say that
It's too late but I'm still waiting
I love the way conquer style
I love how children lack your vision
I love the way you're smothered
Suffocation
Suffocation
Leave it alone
Yeah the drama never ends
But now it's time you learn:
Baby, We're whores
Nothing less and nothing more
I love the way you conquer style
I love how children lack your vision
I love the way you're reaching for that gun
Leave it alone
Shut this thing off
I can't take
Anymore
The weight is gone
Still I can't
Let it go
I can't take anymore
Is this all we are
Can you help me sleep again
My body's numb
What I touch
Turns to stone
The more I know
The less I know
The more I'm lost
Make me forget all
Cause I can not remember anymore
Anymore
Any
This silence kills the calm
Of the night
I force an anxious patience
Counting every beat and waiting for my turn to die
Give it up, Give it up
Don€™t fall for the same things
Give it up, Give it up
Don€™t fall for mistakes that I€™ve made
Don€™t turn away
I understand your ways
Won€™t give it up
It€™s not me you€™re waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It€™s not me you€™re waiting for
It€™s time to let go, time to let it go
And when
you become
all you€™ve lost
Wandering the streets and searching for a place to die
Give it up, Give it up
Don€™t fall for the same things
Give it up, Give it up
Don€™t fall for mistakes that I€™ve made
Don€™t turn away
I understand your ways
Don€™t give it up
It€™s not me you€™re waiting for
Alright, stop waiting
It€™s not me you€™re waiting for
This is where it ends
It€™s not me you€™re waiting for
It€™s time to let go, time to let it go
And if you promise to forget
I€™ll try to find a way to make the same mistakes(make mistakes)
Give it up, give it up (try to find a way)
Give it up, give it up (try to find a way)
Give it up, give it up (try to find a way)
Give it up, give it up
WONT GIVE IT UP!!
It's not me your waiting for,
its not me your waiting for,
alright, stop waiting.
It's not me your waiting for,
alright, stop waiting.
It's not me your waiting for
Give it up, give it up,
dont fall for the same things.
All Right, Stop Waiting!
Give it up, give it up,
dont fall for mistakes that i've made,
and turn away.
Give it up,give it up
dont fall for the same things.(dont turn away)
Give it up, give it up,
dont fall for mistakes that ive made
Dont turn away!!
Take off that make up honey
I know what you've been missing
I've got a card to send you home
It says "Try to forget those good times
Maybe you never were mine"
How has this pain helped you grow?
Because you've done so much with your life
To have to settle for
A need to feel, a need to try
A need to feel whole
Do you feel whole?
Maybe we'll see this through if we get it together
Maybe I'll get to you. If you get it together
Go. Try. Try to make yourself right
Go. Try. To make this right and move on with your life
Take of that make up honey
Why don't you ever listen?
I've got something I need to know 'cause I've tried
Tried to forget your past crimes
But were you ever just mine?
you are the last one
who can recognize his friends
and nothing ever changes
you're always exchanging
peace of mind for everything
you want everything.
you want it all
i can see it in your eyes
i can see right through you
there's nothing to you
you conjure lies
and you'll surround yourself with everyone
who says what you need to feel
all right everyone
who speaks the words
that make you perpetually contrived
they say what you want to hear
say what you want to hear
what you want to
why can't you be strong?
Make my body motion, yeah the night is young
Open like the ocean, cold and numb
Dance until the sweat forms on your face
It won't take long to flush the poisons
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
And I don't care
So what's wrong? I think too much
I don't want to fuck you, I don't want to touch you
I just want to fill you with regret
I've said it all before, it's pointless
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
What I'm doing here
It's so redundant
I don't care where you come from
If it's awful there
All of us are alone
I forget where I come from
I don't care
Dance until the sweat forms on your face
Easy way out
You said so yourself,
I always took the easy way out,
but you can't see me coming down when you're jumping ship.
I thought we wanted more,
I guess I was wrong.
You can't take the easy way out,
it's not that easy now.
You can't take that easy way,
and you'll think I'll stay,
but like the years,
I'm drifting away.
You said so yourself,
this time,
I won't take the easy way out.
The truth is what I'm all about.
But I should have known,
you're the same way you were before.
Run away when you are down.
Pick up the pace cause you fear the sound of mistakes
that are getting closer every time.
Time is catching up to you.
You keep on trying to escape your problems,
but problems keep on catching you.
You should try to turn the other way and escape your lies.
You run with no direction,
can you find direction now?
Say when you'll never change,
I'm hoping that you'll say.
But I doubt it will come,
and I doubt it will stay,
and I doubt if you want me anyway.
Can you find direction now?
Step outside and listen.
As you cut through the tension,
the world is crumbling down around you-it's found you.
When you woke up yesterday,
there was nothing left for me to say to you
because you wanted me to be true.
When all you feel is pain,
ands somehow things have changed I'll be coming home to you.
When I forgot to call,
you knew it all,
it was coming down on you.
Will you still be waiting,
that's something I can't ask you to be.
Will you be still waiting for me?
I'm waiting for you and something is wrong,
but I just can't put my finger on it.
You never listened and you'll never listen now,
you know what I'm about,
but is that sufficient?
Do you hear the words I say?
It hurts when you talk that way.
You say you'll listen cause you'd like to live together lives,
but come on,
you could have any other boy to take my place and hold when you're feeling alone.
How can you say that I'm supposed to stay when you talk on to me that way?
Oh come on.
I can't see what's supposed to be,
but if you trust me it might turn ok.
I thought I found someone
I thought I had something I could trust
I still can't believe what happened
It's not that you lied to us
It's not that our friendship was a front
It's just that I can't see the real in you
Yeah for years I was afraid
Now I can finally say
That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away
How could I have been so blind
How could I have ignored so many signs
Especially when my friends warned me
About your deceptive side
And that your friendship was a lie
Yeah for years I was betrayed
Now I can finally say
That I'm afraid that you've become
Everything that you had hated
I'm waiting
For this to blow away
I've been working for
Something oh so fake
But it's never too late
To correct the faults
So many others made
I know you don't care about whats right or fair
I heard you say your future is looking so great
I've been working for
Something oh so fake
have you found the person
that you want to spend your life with
or do you want?
do you want another . . .
you can't proscribe affection
because you're scared to live about it
do you want another boy?
can't erase the other one
so we waste each other
character lies in intent
So hard to believe what you're looking for
You cry again
To save yourself
But you could
Never understand their pain
It's all a game
You play yourself
And you will
Never understand the pain
I'll move on tomorrow
We can try again
And when their hope is gone
I'm waiting
I'll move on tomorrow
We can try again
And when their hope is gone
I'm waiting
I'll move on tomorrow
We can try again
You're my savior
You're my savior
You cry again
To save yourself
You feel ashamed
Never understand the pain
All you're missing
Is an honest
Presentation
I hope you understand this pain
You can pretend but I'm not buying it
Can pretend, but I'm not buying it
Can pretend, but I'm not buying it
You're my savior So hard to believe what you're looking for
You're my savior So hard to believe what you're looking for
You're my savior So hard to believe what you're looking for
Right.
Write.
regrets are worthless
they misconstrue the past in sight and sound
and as lines recede
no one speaks a word of his lust
a word of dreams that've been left to rust
the tv's on and everyone stays calm.
as time has passed
no one understands and to say the least
the years have been unfair
i wanted to tell you
i miss it
i just wanted to let you know
the last year has helped me grow
i want to take you on the road
where we'll go
i'll never know
will you come along
it's easier when no place feels like home
i said i want out
i want to take you out of this
and go to California
'cause I want to take you on a ride
i'll set things right
i know the direction in which to go
this isn't about you or the life
she's lead through you
just every passing day leaves me wondering
what is really true
expecting to find you sleeping
soundly through and through
sadness comes misplaced
and ends are means
by which to uncover truth
happiness will come
when you are with the one
who can take you to places you never were
but always knew i'm coming for the ride
and you say it's too safe inside
you cannot realize
it's taking time
i'm taking it in stride
i'm sure it's safer inside
you just can't realize
but you're such a person
wake up every morning
every morning with her name in your head
you can survive
but you say i'm not half
what i wish-
i was so much back
then there is no end
and no room for pretend
feeling only this
i cannot fathom it
there's no escape from uncertain fate
there is no excuse
why did this happen to you
can our lives be made up from what's been left in time
you're feeling
time crushing at the spine
and you're tired
and i'm tired
we're so tired
yeah
you're tired inside
you just can't realize what's wrong
or what it's like to be
something on you've come a long way
and i know everything feels gone
will you see this through
or will you say it's through
she's rising
and i'm sinking
i'm losing sleep
she's resting
sound in bed with such variety
i'm driving
and she's finding
that she'll survive
when i'm long gone
do i stay in your mind at least?
there's so much time
and nowhere left to go
she's overcompensating
for what she can never let go of
there's so much time
and nowhere left to go
am i just an escape
for time to pass through
she's lying
and i'm thinking
she's trying to forget it all
a memory of the past i'll be
i'm buying
that she's trying
the threat is clear
and growing strong
i dream to have such clarity
it's all i'm thinking about
i guess i'll figure it out
i'll think
i'll drink to each new lesson
ignore the passing of days
eventually i'll fade
and in the end
i've heard advice that anger soon subsides
and you go on with your life
and gain new insight
but inside i'm thinking that just wont suffice
cause i'm sure i'd like to take it back
and kill it at the start
yeah
we're going far
yeah
it's from the heart
yeah
we're taking care of every single one of us
who do you trust
if we could be recluse
and i could inflict a lifetime of abuse
anywhere i'd be killing you
my anger still persists
and it will not desist until i manifest on you
it will not desist until i manifest
wouldn't it be swell to test how thin i wear
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
I came here today with a purpose
Should I try or just let it go?
'cause these things I'd like to ask you
Are things I can't explain
Or should I keep your plans outside the porch last Saturday?
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
But tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
Still no promises made
The balance of power has shifted
Were you trying to let me in?
Or was I trying so hard
That all of my confidence was lost tonight?
Confused and regretful, I cracked
Swallowed it back, and left with no spine intact
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be
Maybe we were meant
To see what's right
She held a sort of it
Just a taste of life
To see what's right
To make sense out of it
What a shame that we're slipping away now (away now)
Going away now
To see what's out there
'cause you're all that's here for me
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
You're all that's here for me
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
you can never tell me i shouldn't walk away
its foolish to assume that ill be coming back another day
you were never right and i was never wrong
does truth lie in sincerity of another sullen song
cause you were right then i should have been the one to release it
its coming back to tease me
but i was just born and you're pride was too strong
can you change it?
are you willing to face it?
you can tell your story and coat it any way
but you will never change who you trying to play
now your friends are falling out
they know you just don't care
they know you never did
because they say always
the first one is never as good as the next.
hey, it's just rock and roll
even though you might think you lost it all.
cause the times they are a changin
and who can predict what's next
hey, you lost control
even though you might have thought you had it all
and hey, it's just rock and roll
and i'll never change
i love it just the same
i'll never change
because i love it just the same
god i wish i could hate you the rest of my life
god i wish i could hate you for the rest of my
Remember just two years ago
when our bands were playing house shows
were fighting for
to make a change
to live our lives the way we dreamed
despite what they might say
remember how we struggled though
remember nights we spent on hard wood floors
were fighting for
to make a change
to live our lives the way we dreamed
despite what they might say
you're there when i fall
you'd help me be strong
even when i lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause i feel it in the songs
to all my friends from around the way
Much respect
we owe you dues
we've got your back
you've got our's too
we'll be there
should you fall
and i just wanted you to know
you can always count on me
you're there when i fall
you'd help me be strong
even when i lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause i feel it in the songs
you're there when i fall
you'd help me be strong
you're there when i fall
when we made it through it all
you're there when i fall
you'd help me be strong
even when i lost my faith
we're standing so tall
we made it through it all
we will keep it going strong
cause i feel it in the songs
you are the last one
who can recognize his friends
and nothing ever changes
you're always exchanging
peace of mind for everything
you want everything.
you want it all
i can see it in your eyes
i can see right through you
there's nothing to you
you conjure lies
and you'll surround yourself with everyone
who says what you need to feel
all right everyone
who speaks the words
that make you perpetually contrived
they say what you want to hear
say what you want to hear
what you want to
how come everything
always has its way of turning
right back around again
like that night that she was leaving
And not believing that this time
Her fears were all just doubts
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i know this one felt right
but everytime i walk away i feel shut down inside
today is no exception
And tomorrow breaks again
But I can see that this will soon be over
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
i know that what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
what you have's not what you are
i'm never going back
i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it
there's nothing wrong with that
find comfort in yourself
so you can deal with it
i'm never going back
there's nothing wrong with that
i'm never going back
find comfort in yourself
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
Tried to forget about
Living a good life
Free of positions
Make her feel vulnerable
She's loved and she's lost
She failed in the call
She seeks to find the answer, now
Woke up today around 6 in the morning
Violently shaking, remembering what she once saw
She bared it alone
So she carried on
She seeks to find the answers for...
The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
She tries to erase
She tries to replace
How it feels, but I...
Know she can never go home
The reasons her life did not turn out...
More like a movie
She's trying to forget it all
I don't believe in anything
But I believe in you
I never trusted anyone
But I trust you
And if I fall away, someday you might find me
I live my life in Midtown
It's halfway 'tween here and there
I spend my time in Midtown tryin' hard to really care
Cheap intoxicated showdown
Cardboard corrugated dreams
Brothers givin' you the lowdown
He says, he don't fit into their schemes
So what's the use of keeping clean
In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall
You see 'em hangin' in the doorways
Peerin' out with neon eyes, they're lookin' at ya
Someone's hangin' in the hallways
Habits hard to subsidize
Well it comes as no surprise
In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall
I pray to God in Midtown, semi-automatic faith
He'll be hangin' out in Midtown
He'll be tryin' to find a trace
Pickin' thru the human waste
In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
Midtown, from the curb, it's a long, long way to fall
In Midtown, like to call it home, it's my own asphalt
Midtown, where there ain't no black, where there ain't no white
