Disconnected

i'm feeling disconnected
to the joy in a fleeting moment
i'm at a party
and my eyes are barely open
don't take a step closer
if I can feel you
I just might blow it
I'm disconnected
and if my tone doesn't give it away
then my actions will surely show it
sometimes in our life we have to enter a darkness
to see things in a new light
but I'm at the other end
and I'll never be the same again.
I'm feeling disconnected

I'm at a party
and my eyes are barely open
sometimes in our lives we have to enter a darkness
to see things in a new light
but I'm at the other end
and the door back in is locked behind me

Calendar Lines

another night on the bathroom floor
filth is resting beside my head
I can't do this anymore
grinding teeth through my jaw
I get up and face the world
with a smile and nod
isn't it a pathetic waste of life
to give up
before you even try
we're trying to live
in our spare time
filling in blanks between calendar lines
they can smell it on my breath
they can see it in my eyes
bloodshot and red
am I already dead
are we living lies
the truth is in our eyes
but we won't like what we find
we hold on
to the night
like thirsty vampires
we throw away
all our days
we're going
insane

The Forgetting
03:51
|

a phone call today
the result of thoughts of you
remind me of
all the things we used to do
all the things we used to do
and all the times we had
we didn't appreciate
and now we want it back
it's not getting any easier
being so far away
there's no hope for us
there's only forgetting
our words don't matter when
our actions shatter every promise we make
we're both guilty and
the emotions settle on me
all these words about you
run around inside my mind
I put them to song
for your ears to find
it's not getting any easier
being so far away
it's not getting any easier
there's only forgetting

I'm sorry to leave you here with tears and warm beer. If you're angry you have every right. It's not what we dreamed but it's the way it's got to be. I know it hurts but I will make it right. So, I'm leaving for a road unknown and I don't know if I'll be all right but I want you to know that although I've gotta go I'll be missing you every single night. Because I'm tired of living in calendar lines. I'm tired of warm beer and long goodbyes. Over and over again, I'm tired of losing and watching my friends move on.

I can't believe I let you sell me short
I can't believe I let someone so cold
get so close
I waited for you
longer than I should
and I gave to you
more than you
ever could
October nights
are so warm without you around
and every birthday is a party
that never lets me down
consider yourself
a stranger to me now
You take for granted the hills of the earth
I moved them for you
now I set fire
to this world
in the distance between you and I
You gave up
but I survived
in the space between your heart and mind
there's a path with no hope to find
in the distance between you and I
you gave up but I survived
in the space between your heart and mind
there's no love, no love to find

Bummer
01:17
|
|||
I'm down
icing first to the ground
candles lit
no wishes to be made
just misery that wants to be left alone
irony no one appreciates
sometimes I'm so
sick of myself
I take everyone down with me
I'm down
icing first to the ground
candles lit
no wishes to be made
watch out
here I come
I'm such a bummer
pretend to look away

Six Pints
01:24
|

I can't convince you that in my arms is where you ought to be
if you don't feel it by now then maybe you ought to leave
my mind used to hold a well of inspiration
but lately I drank my thoughts dry
another six pints of amnesia
I can't convince you
that in my arms is where you ought to be
if you don't feel it by now

Shivers

the ghost in your room
keep me safe from the demons in my head
in a search for understanding
I made my way out of bed
made my way into your
bed and now
you keep me up at night
just to hear you cry
the summer wind
is growing old
and this house is growing cold
just keep my love from shaking now
you're a ghost in my head
I wonder if I'll see you again
would you see me again?
well, here's to us
and what we'll never be
cheers to whatever may come
of you and me
the summer wind
is growing old
and this house is growing cold
just keep my love from shaking now
you know I loved to hold you
I know you felt the same way too
you know I loved to hold you
I know you felt the same way
