So it goes and now it's gone The life we choose is how we'll fall The way we destroy is the art of it all This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be These colors never run, they only fade in time
The things I used to love I have come to reject The things I used to hate I have learned to accept And the worst of the three now have to expect
And we will never be alone again Cause it doesn't happen every day Kinda counted on you being a friend Can I give it up or give it away Now I thought about what I wanna say But I never really know where to go So I chained myself to a friend Cause I know it unlocks like a door
2 am, I'm thinking 'bout how lucky I've been I need to take a moment to myself 6 am, I'm thinking 'Bout how lonely I've been I need to take a moment to myself
Probably my favorite lyrics from them as well. Anthony has a lot of great lyrical moments but that is one that will never cease to stop me in my tracks.
Thank you so much! I am so happy with it. It's something I've wanted for a long time but I always found a reason not to do it. But, I finally made the commitment and I'm very glad I did.
we went and left the dog on the highway median glaring sky to map microbial floaters against but it grew dark as we sat ‘hind a car that wouldn’t let us pass the child in the back didn’t quit waving her doll’s arm I said “from the age of six this boy did not want to live” the passing of time hasn’t changed your dad’s pained expression I felt our diners and our movie theaters in poisoned nighttimes, intumescent and crawling nonlocalized awakenings, memory’s strange abbreviation in that other time before I knew you my parents fell asleep bathed in wavering blue some breathing dogwood trees lined the street, swaying white and pink, carpeting the canopied hall the shared nightmare of your shut room on a rail through the absence in the morning hole in histories we made for some show but pulled off to the side when rain came prismatic, spreading the headlights then you drove me home is it teeth-shaking polyphony, grace and completion, or nothing?
See you every year and yet we don't embrace Try so hard for a meaningless exchange Maybe I could see you on the holidays I don't bother with remembering These days are times I rather would forget Remembering's not helping me yet Say goodnight, mean goodbye Know you think my life would stop when you're away I'll try to forget you on the holidays Worlds away Maybe you've forgotten all our yesterdays You're lucky that we're speaking on the holidays
Yeah, it's the way we are We were smoking by eleven and knocking 'round town Beat 'em ups on my arm We were never good at selling Couldn't cut down And I stay with my father while his friends die of heart attacks He's got a heart made of stone but he never gets cold 'cause the sun is always on his back
Right from the start I knew You'd set fire in me And I'd rather be sad with you Than anywhere away from you And hey I can't believe I captured your heart I can't believe I captured your heart
So I’m caught in the golden gone Castrated Bold of relation Separate me If I surrender too soon From under the diving bell Hold me down there anyways
More every year I shine light on edges I tried to unfeel We've gotta do better than that Some sortin out So I'll be sittin on the outskirts if you wanna talk about it Things in there were just getting so loud
Skin caked with sap of pine Can't catch against my roaring mind The coat slips off my etched spine It's a weight no longer carried and I'm freezing A message to my brother sky I long to hold your hand tonight But when up against this summit's height I'm tense, I'm small, I'm speechless and I'm freezing
So much fear to get over And so much pain to get past Wish there was a easy way through Wish there was a way to learn it all And have my bright new shiny tools Without the cost attached I think we've paid enough
The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away And that’s all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same And that’s the way that it’s been Years later she took your name Hopeful and now unafraid Your gut sinks each time you see her
